No offense, but you need to update this.

Can't now. Fantasy baseball draft.

None taken anyways.

As for Harrell, to me him and Pitcock are pretty close. They 're both about the same size. However, Pitcock ran every timed drill faster than Harrell (40 yard dash, bench press, broad jump). Harrell also didn't run a particularly good shuttle drill relative to other interior defensive lineman either. My picks at defensive lineman stand.

Those top 5 at each position thing was pre-combine. Meachem should be #5 on that list (behind Johnson, Ginn, Bowe and Jarrett)

Behind Johnson is the only one I'll say is clear cut. Meachem is more physical than Ginn and Bowe, while being faster than Bowe and has better hands than Ginn. With Jarrett's terrible times at the combine, I could actually see Meachem as #2 or #3, clearly behind CJ and behind Ginn by a hair. He's better than Bowe, and had a better combine than Jarrett.

This is a very deep receiving class and aside from Calvin Johnson and (maybe) Ted Ginn, the others are a mixed bag. Dwayne Jarrett and Ted Ginn did not perform any drills at combine and opted for pro days. Thus, it's hard to get an exact top 5 as of now. If Jarrett runs a good 40 (less than 4.5) and shows off his supposedly great hands, he'll end up ahead of Meachem. However, rumors say that Jarrett may be able to run at best a 4.7 40, which means he would sink way out of the top 10 and out of the first round, maybe even the second round. If Ginn can follow through and run a ~4.30 40, he'll also be above Meachem.

If my mock ends up being right, six receivers will be taken in the first round. The only two drafts that I think come close to or surpass this class in terms of WR depth would be the 2004 and 1988 draft classes. The latter class includes one current hall of famer (Michael Irvin) and two likely future Hall of Fame WRs (Tim Brown and Sterling Sharpe) and one very solid receiver (Anthony Miller). The former includes what many considered the best WR receiver prospect in NFL history, Larry Fitzgerald.

So yeah, very deep receiving class.
