2012 NFL Mock Draft: Latest Stock Report for College Football's Top WRs

Chris TrapassoNov 17, 2011

In last year's draft class, A.J. Green and Julio Jones headlined a gifted group of pass-catchers.  

However, they are no match for the wideouts of 2012.

This 2012 NFL draft class is loaded with big, physical and ultra-talented wide receivers.

Let's check where each of the top prospect's stocks are entering this weekend's action. 

Justin Blackmon: Stock Up

Blackmon is this year's most dynamic receiver, hands down. 

At 6'1'' and 215 pounds, he has the ideal size, is a capable chain-mover and a dangerous downfield threat. 

Although he's obviously been the focus of every team's defensive game plan this season, he is yet to have a game with fewer than six catches and has caught more than 11 passes four times. 

Beast. 

It is not a stretch to call him a more physically intimidating version of Greg Jennings. 

In Oklahoma State's win over Texas Tech, Blackmon had six grabs for 103 yards and two touchdowns. 

With the Cowboys at 10-0 and his consistent production, Blackmon's stock is certainly rising. 

Alshon Jeffery: Stock Down

Matt Miller compared Jeffery to the Lions' Calvin Johnson earlier this season because of their similar size and leaping ability. 

The 6'4'', 230-pound Jeffery got off to a relatively hot start to the season—as did his South Carolina Gamecocks. 

However, after a midseason loss to Auburn, Jeffery's production has tailed off considerably and he's on pace to fall way short of the statistics he put up in 2011. 

He only has 38 receptions for 504 yards and five touchdowns this year.

In their most recent win over Florida, he hauled in two passes for 17 yards. 

The quarterback situation isn't great in South Carolina, so that could be attributed to his down season. 

He will still be a first-round pick, but Blackmon has clearly overtaken him as the nation's best receiver.

Michael Floyd: Stock Up

One of Notre Dame's most prolific wide receivers, Floyd has been the staple of consistency during his time in South Bend. 

At 6'3 and 220 pounds, he's another huge target in this draft class. 

The Fighting Irish have won seven of their last eight and much of that success has been because of the nightmare that Floyd has been to cover. 

He had nine catches for 90 yards with a touchdown in their 45-21 win over Maryland last weekend and has 77 receptions for 922 yards and seven TD grabs this year.
