Wide Receivers

The Best

* 1. PETER WARRICK, Florida State, 5-10, 194--Accelerates quickly, makes defenders miss tackles. A true game-breaker.

* Where he’s going:

First round.

2. PLAXICO BURRESS, Michigan State, 6-5, 231--Strong receiver with jumping ability and long arms. One drawback: drops a lot of balls.

* Where he’s going:

First round.

3. TRAVIS TAYLOR, Florida, 6-0, 199--Good route runner who picks up a lot of yards after the catch. Tall and thin, his ability to take a big hit is in question.

First round.

5. DEZ WHITE, Georgia Tech, 6-1, 218--Very productive college player with good speed.
