I'll tell you one guy that I'm really starting to become intrigued by ... is Breshad Perriman. A lot of people aren't talking about him yet, but I believe that they soon will be.
According to Gil Brandt, he is rapidly ascending many draft boards ...

Mike Mayock had this to say on Perriman ...
While many people have their eyes firmly fixed on Dorial Green-Beckham, Perriman is a guy who (being from that "powerhouse" that is Central Florida) just might fly under the radar a bit. Personally, I hope that he doesn't ascend too quickly, as I see him as a potential target in the 2nd or 3rd round.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ucf-knights/os-breshad-perriman-nfl-combine-post.htmlI put the Perriman tape on about three weeks ago and almost fell over. [inaudible] People tell me that he doesn't have good hands and boy do I disagree with that even though he's got drops than he should. So there's kind of a way to interpret that, a wide receiver that has too many drops should have bad hands, right? Well, I look at his hands and say he makes acrobatic catches, he makes high point catches, he makes contested catches, however every once in a while he drops an easy ball. But I think he's a natural hands catcher. I think he's got height and weight, I think he runs good routes...To me, he looks like a first round wide receiver. I need to see what he's gonna run this weekend. If he runs, a 4.5, 4.48, 4.51, people are going to be looking at him as a potential first round wide receiver and they should.

Here is NFL.com's breakdown of Perriman ...
.Grade: 5.8
6'3" Height
214 LBS.
Strengths
Height, weight and speed numbers that every team covets. Quick accelerator off the snap and destroys the cushion, forcing cornerbacks into "turn-and-run" mode. More sudden than most big receivers. Able to break routes off sharply or go from stop to start instantly. Consistent separation at top of his route. Always gets over the top of cornerbacks on verticals. Varies route speed and has ability to body up and box out smaller cornerbacks downfield. Explosive leaper with timing and catch radius to make the difficult catches look easy. Shows off plus body control and ball tracking on deep ball. Able to gear up or down when needed and is a legitimate big-play threat on every snap. Athleticism and long speed for yards-after-catch production. Gives good effort as run blocker.
Weaknesses
Raw in his routes, relying on speed and athleticism over any precision. Rounds routes and is inconsistent at selling and finishing routes that don't involve him as primary target. Sits and waits on the throw rather than working back to it. Redirected in his routes more than expected for receiver his size. Disappointing hands that might always haunt him. Slow catch readiness, allowing too many throws to beat him up. Too much double catching and his focus drops over second half of the season were maddening to watch.
NFL Comparison
Kenny Britt
Bottom Line
Rare combination of size, top-end speed and suddenness that can be found in some of the best receivers in the game. His routes are sloppy and a work in progress, but his hands keep him out of the top tier of receivers. His drops will drive teams crazy, but his physical traits and ability to hit the big play should warrant early round consideration
