Mayock's 2013 Draft Rankings - Offense

I must be the only one who thinks Tavon Austin is WAY to tiny (5, 9, 176) to be a first rounder.

Wait until he measures in at 5'7 5/8", 170 pounds. Call me a skeptic as well. Second rounder.

I think he will go in 2nd but believe he can be a great slot WR. I would take him for sure at the end of the 2nd.

Just sayin'.... Desean Jackson was 5' 9" and 169 lbs when drafted... and I think many did or would now select him in the 1st rd.

He is tiny...He also scored 17 TD's combined last year with sub 4.4 speed!!! I also like this fact http://www.kffl.com/player/27679/nfl/injury_history/tavon-austin . I would select him in a heartbeat

Wouldn't be shocked if Keenan Allen fell to the end of the 1st after he runs a pretty pedestrian 40 at the combine.

I'd be shocked. It might allow Patterson to leap frog Allen to be the #1 WR choice in the draft, but a lot of teams need WRs right now. I don't think there's a chance for Allen to fall below early 20's.

Would draft in the late 1st round, plus those with a WR size fetish would be thrilled beyond words.

Keenan Allen seems like a slightly taller Crabtree. Not a burner, but does really well in the short to intermediate routes. He could be the answer to the big redzone target many fans are calling for. I'd personally like to see someone who is more of a compliment to the current Niners receivers. Someone with true deep speed who can blow past the DB and stretch the defense if they try to cheat up and jump routes or play down in the box against the run. That would be awesome in the play action pass.

That's what I'm looking for... I thought that's what we were looking for with Moss, but I guess not.

Remember how a lot of us wanted that center last year? Wouldn't mind us taking an eventual replacement to Jonathan Goodwin.
