PLAYERS INVITED:44**MORE: TIGHT ENDS, DEFENSIVE BACKS, OFFENSIVE LINEMEN,QUARTERBACKS, RUNNING BACKS LEADING THE PACK: Alabama's Amari Cooper is the front-runner in a talented wide receiver class that could see five, six, or seven players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Many mock drafts have Cooper being drafted in the top 10. As a junior in 2014, he hauled in 124 passes for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns. Cooper recorded another 1,000-yard season as a freshman in 2012. Kevin White of West Virginia, expected to be the second receiver off the board, caught 109 passes for 1,447 yards and 10 scores. Despite legal issues that led to his dismissal at Missouri, Dorial Green-Beckham is still considered a first-round pick. In 2012, high school football analyst Tom Lemming referred to Green-Beckham as the best wide receiver prospect that he'd seen since Randy Moss.
