    We have two 6th Rd picks, so unless we use one or both to trade up somewhere, I could see us use one of those on an under the radar WR.

    North has the talent, size and speed to be a difference-maker...could be a great #2/Z receiver. His injuries were never major...usually just nagging minor ones like back stiffness, ankle sprains and such...but he's got to get into some kind of training/nutrition regime that helps keep him more physically durable.

    He had a really good freshman season (again, it was no coincidence that the OL that year was a veteran one...and the past two seasons, with a young under-performing OL, even when he got healthy, he didn't get the ball much). I also believe UT's QB Josh Dobbs passing accuracy has been really hit or miss. He makes up for it a lot of times, with his mobility, but his passing game has been average at best. We have instead leaned heavily on the running game.

    North wasn't the only WR with a seeming drop in production, when healthy this season. All the WR's # were down. That points to the OL and the QB, but North can't throw his teammates under the bus.

    I really hope we take a chance on Moritz Boehringer. He is moving up draft board quick. I really could see him as a ultra coach-able elite player that works his butt off and becomes a #1 wr. He played for the Crailsheim TITANS as his first team. Is it Fated that he becomes a Titan again?

    He looks good on paper...I want to see tape....against quality competition. We are not a team in a position to take what iffs....we did that for years and look where we are......

    Was coming here to post the exact same thing. He was a great player as freshman and just couldn't get over the injury bug. Would take a chance in the 5th or later on him.

    Leonte Caroo from Rutgers is my sleeper for WR

    2015 39 rec 809 yds 20.7 10 tds and he missed 5 games this year. Had over 1,000 last year playing with no one at QB and only weapon on team his whole career.

    possibly the best WR in this class can not be labeled a sleeper

    Id call him a gem, not a sleeper

    Agreed, I haven't seen his name pop as much though on draft boards and this guys is a stud, but doesn't get the notoriety he deserves because he played for Rutgers.

    This guy is better than some of the of the other WR names being tossed around.....wouldn't mind picking him in the 3rd round if available. Reminds me of Steve Smith....strong hands and always comes up with the ball.

    I'd love him on the Titans, but WR is a luxury pick we can't afford to make right now, too many other holes.

    Im ok with Wright Matthews and DGB this year.. I expect Murray and Walker to be the main outlets this year,another WR would get lost in the shuffle IMO
