http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...able-prospectsTee Higgins, WR, Clemson: A right ankle injury that required surgery last spring has left Higgins with a decreased range of motion. But he has been playing on it for some time and remained productive, posting career highs with 1,167 yards and 13 touchdowns on 59 catches as a junior last fall. Long-term concerns could factor into the equation for NFL teams, though it seems unlikely to have a major impact on Higgins' draft status
This is one of those flags. Medical issues are a real gamble this year.
I watched those highlights. I don't like highlights because so much of it is useless--blown coverage, blown tackles, great QB, great playcall. But from what I saw I'd say:
JJ4 impressed the most for reasons I can't explain
Lamb benefitted from a lot of garbage defense that can't tackle, but he just looks and moves like the real deal--the athleticism
Higgins just looks the part and I'd prefer taking him because of his ability to high-point and bully defenders
Bowden would be a great pickup in 4 and justified in 3, seems like a high football IQ guy with a knack for making plays.
Nothing really jumped out from the rest of it, but those four I like.
Need to watch the TCU kid and Riggs.
I know that I have no idea what I'm doing.

I agree with you that highlight reels can be one dimensional, however if you approach them looking more at what they bring in terms of execution, speed, maneuverability, and physicality i think highlight reels can provide some of those.
Case in point, in the Joe Reed reel there were 2 things that stood out to me.
1) The boy isnt afraid of contact.
2) In the Miami game there was a catch he made where he actually came back for the ball. It was only a 10-12 yd gain but the pass could have probably been intercepted had he not gone back for it.
I cant count how many times i have seen receivers just wait for passes instead of going after it. This doesnt mean i think Reed is a better prospect than the others but only pointing out that highlight reels can often show other things you may not be looking for initially.
It might be the quickest way to form some semblence of an opinion in the shortest time--but I find myself skipping tons of it. I guess you have to know what you are looking for, and I generally don't know nearly enough to form the kind of opinion I want to hear from others.
