Bowe is pretty much a known commodities at this point so I’m not too worried about him other than the “sophomore slump” thing. At this point, Darling also looks to be a shoo-in as a starter.

The guys that I’ll be following most closely are Robinson, Franklin, and Price – in that order.

I’ve never seen Robinson play but his nfl.com resume certainly intrigues -

-OVERVIEW
There may be bigger names in college football, but the statistics prove it – there isn’t a more consistent big-play threat in the country than Robinson. At the end of the 2007 season, Robinson became the NCAA career all-purpose yards per play record holder with a 16.16 average on 6,479 career yards in 401 plays. Robinson, or “K-Rob,” is a very good athlete with the blend of initial quickness, acceleration and top end speed to help an NFL team early in his career as a receiver and return specialist – a position from which he has generated nine scores on a combination of punts and kickoffs – including one during the East West Shrine Game.
-ANALYSIS
Positives: Lean, athletic build. … Good initial quickness. … Able to generate consistent separation due to his quickness out of his breaks. … Sets up defenders well and can get behind the defense for the big play. … Tracks the ball well over his shoulder. … Will compete in a crowd for the ball. … A natural with the ball in his hands. … Elusive after the catch and shows vision winding through the defense to generate positive yards after the catch.

Negatives: Level of competition is a concern. … Great production early in his career and as a senior, but struggled with consistency. … Viewed by some as a very good return specialist who can help at receiver, rather than the preferred very good receiver who can help as a return specialist.

Franklin I’ve seen and so all that remains is how he performs at the next level.

Price put up some phenomenal college (I-AA) stats but at the same time has never caught a ball in any NFL game and has never even suited up for a regular season game due to the fact he was placed (and remained) on injured reserve at the end of 2007 preseason. I guess I’m just really curious to see why the coaches, management, etc have invested so much in him.

He came after–

- Bowe (duh)

- Darling (didn’t play much in Baltimore but averaged over 18 yds. a catch last year)

- Webb (even though he hasn’t shown us that much, he certainly hasn’t been bad, and he’s been with the team the longest)

- Sippio (phenomenal in the AFL. As in, the best there was. I really think this guy has potential.)

After that I didn’t really care. Most of those guy probably won’t be on the roster come August.
