4. WR Dwight Jones: North Carolina: Really came into his own during the second half of the season in 2010. Runs well and accelerates quickly for a big receiver with natural fluidity to his game as well. Needs to improve as a route runner, but talent is there for this guy to be a play making starting wide out in the NFL. (Rivals.com)
