Greg Little I'd have questions about as he was one of the Tar Heels suspended for the 2010 season for receiving improper benefits. The physical body is there, but there isn't a lot of games under his belt. Might be a nice later round pick if he's still on the board.
Titus Young...I don't know. Pettis always looked like the best player on the field for Boise State and usually got the defenders #1 CB. (Pettis torched potential first round cornerback Brandon Burton for 147 yards and a TD in their bowl game this year.) In addition, Young is small. I think he's a good receiver, and got a lot of hype at the Senior Bowl because of his route running, but Boise State guys tend to be pretty good at that anyway. (Having a solid QB like Kellen Moore, who, if the Chiefs don't take a qb in this next draft, I would love them to take a mid-rounder on Kellen Moore in 2012. The guy can flat out play the quarterback spot.)

jd1020: I cant believe he has Torrey Smith as a 3rd tier. I'm liking Smith more and more as our first round pick.

Smith is a Heyward-Bey type of player, and was used exactly like him in the same system. I think he's more of a kick returner than possession type receiver. His hands are a little questionable, but he's got superb speed. When people started mentioning him as a second round draft choice, I thought that was really overvaluing his actual production on the field.
Hell, I'm not that worried about speed on this team anyway provided that Kevin Curtis sticks around for a couple of seasons. I think people forget that Curtis was the fastest guy at the Combine in his draft class with a 4.35 forty and he's a pretty good route runner. (He also has the second highest Wonderlic score ever.) When given the opportunity, he's put up excellent numbers. As well, he's a tough guy. Signed on with the Chiefs and was on the field four months after getting a nut pulled due to testicular cancer.
I'd rather see a long, sure handed possession type receiver. Pettis or Hankerson would be at the top of my list.
