Positives - Justin is a young receiver who has improved his catch total each of the last 3 years. The reunion with his offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger from Tennessee and a healthy Chad Pennington should lead to a top 30 finish for Justin. He has ideal size (6’2” and 218 lbs) and led the team in targets last season.

Negatives - Pennington had a great chemistry with Coles before he left to go to Washington, and his return should make Coles the #1 receiver. Pennington has to remain healthy for the offense to click, and reports of his arm strength being weakened will not help Justin.

Draft Strategy - Considered QB and Defense at this point, but I really like Kerry Collins as my #1 this season and only 2 defenses have been selected as of this point. Of the remaining WRs, I think McCareins has the most available upside. Coles should be the possession receiver, while Justin can be the big play man.
