Ask and you shall receive

Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech and Jermey Maclin from Missouri are the two best receivers in the draft. If either one of these guys should, by some miracle, fall to the Bears at 18, Angelo & Co. should snatch that man up and immediately fall to their knees and thank god. 

Even if those two are, as expected, long gone at 18, there will be plenty of stud wide receivers left on the board worthy of that pick. This class is extremely deep at receiver.

Here are some options for wide receiver in the first two rounds of the draft.

Darius Heyward-Bey, Maryland 

See what I had to say about Heyward-Bey here. He's was on a real rise, continuing to impress scouts with his size and speed, until he hit a small bump in the road when the results of his Wonderlic Test were leaked to the press.

The Wonderlic is reportedly a 50-question, 12-minute intelligence test administered to prospective players at the NFL scouting combine. A score of 20 is said to be indicative of average intelligence. 

Heyward-Bey scored a 14. If you put that into context with what some of the other receivers scored, that may not actually hurt him.

Percy Harvin, Florida

Percy Harvin (5-11 195) is perhaps the most explosive, exciting player in this draft. The man most compared to the Bears own Mr. Devin Hester. They're comparable in their explosiveness and also in the fact that neither was a "true" receiver in college. Harvin was used as a running back fairly extensively in college, and even lined up as quarterback on occasion. 

I'd say Harvin is definitely a more polished receiver coming out of college than Hester was, but he will have some work to do with his route running. The main knock on Harvin,  however, may be his durability. He's had some ankle issues, missing five games in three years and being limited in several more. Ankle issues aren't a good thing when you make your living running faster than everyone else.

And his score of 12 on the Wonderlic didn't help him either.

Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina 

Hakeem Nicks (6-1 212) is a physical receiver with fantastic hands. He runs better than timed (4.51 40-yard time at the combine) and is able to break tackles with his size and athleticism to gain yards after the catch. 

He's been rising on lots of draft boards and the Bears are thought to like his game. They recently had him in for a private workout.

Once concern about Nicks is his weight. There are reports floating around out there that Nicks was 14 lbs heavier at the North Carolina pro day workouts than he was at the combine a month earlier. And another concern: Hicks scored an 11 on the Wonderlic.

Kenny Britt, Rutgers

Kenny Britt (6-4 215) has the sort of size that scouts covet at wide receiver, making him a delicious red-zone option. He showed up at his pro day reportedly five pounds lighter than listed here and proceeded to run a 4.40 40, improving from his time of 4.56 at the combine. 

The Bears had Britt in for a private workout earlier this week. Britt is another player who's stock has been rising, and a case could be made for him at 18, but that may be a bit early.

Britt was said to carry a bit of a primadonna label, and was suspended for a game by the Scarlet Knights last season for violating a team rule, but he reportedly worked hard to dispel that reputation at the combine.

Britt's Wonderlic score has not been leaked to my knowledge. 

And, as a footnote, I'm not overly concerned about these Wonderlic results, but it does have to give you pause. If Vanderbilt's Earl Bennett couldn't make his way onto the field for a catch in his rookie season because he had trouble learning the playbook, how will a guy like Hakeem Nicks do?
