Factoid: Fourth-round wideouts
It was a very strong draft class for wide receivers. Six were selected in the first round, and 15 in the first three.

Davis caught 2 TDs in Tennessee's playoff loss at New England, so there's that, but a disappointing season. What does the future hold for these players? more »
