Time to look at two of the most productive skill players in college football – receiver Justin Blackmon (WR, Oklahoma State) and LaMichael James (RB, Oregon). Both are ranked highly on my big board and below you’ll find tape of Blackmon vs Baylor and James vs Stanford.

I can’t wait to sort out if it’s Blackmon or Jeffery for first WR off the board in 2012. James will be lucky to make the early 2nd round after guys like Richardson and Knile Davis, I suspect.
I’ll probably watch more college football this season in hopes of becoming more familiar with several of the big-time skill players, in particular (see: Dynasty Fantasy Football) 🙂
