What Are They Saying: ''Dependable, sure-handed player who easily is the draft's best player at his position. ... Will make tough catches over the middle and can grab passes thrown over his head in full stride," Vic Carucci (NFL.com)

''He is similar to current wideouts Mark Clayton and Kevin Johnson in size, athleticism, big play ability and level of development. He is a fine receiver who is ready for the NFL now, though he needs minor refinement. A top 25 player and a fine addition to a passing game. He’ll be especially effective in a West Coast offense, where his running talent can be best utilized. Teams like the Eagles, Cowboys, and Broncos have him on their lists for the first round.'' - Rivals.com

''Holmes shares a lot of similarities with former Wisconsin standout Lee Evans (first round pick of the Bills in 2004), including just decent size, explosive speed and outstanding hand-eye coordination.'' - Scout.com
