Scouting The Draft: Kenny Britt

Kenny Britt is simply a beast.
Let's stick with the wide receiver theme for today and look at another one of my absolute favorite prospects in this entire draft - Rutgers' Kenny Britt.
I could go on and on about Britt, but I'll leave the scouting report to somebody who has seen him even more than I have. I've enlisted the help of Anshey Bhatia of Protect R Turf - SBN's new Rutgets blog. Below are Britt's numbers from the combine to go with Anshey's scouting report.
Kenny Britt
Height: 6'2 7/8" / Weight: 218
40: 4.47 / Arm: 34" / Hand: 9" / Vertical: 37"
He's a Junior out of Bayonne, NJ (hard working, blue collar community from what I know of it), and is a favorite of head coach Greg Schiano. While he doesn't have blazing speed, he's fast "enough", has great hands, and great size. He struggled a little bit early on in the season with some big time drops, but really came around the second half of the year as Rutgers rang off 7 straight wins to close out the season.
I would project him as a solid #2 receiver, great at making the short to mid range catches and good for an occasional long ball (with defenses being so much better in the NFL).
Britt's a solid route runner and found a way to get open consistently for Mike Teel, accumulating 1,371 and 7 TD's on 87 receptions - not too shabby, especially on a team with 2 other legit wide outs. He's very physical - his physicality will help him tremendously (and already has). He uses his size to his advantage in order to get open and get in the mind of opposing CBs.
He's got the size, hands, and speed you need. Plus, he's only 20. Some players get way better in the NFL, some wilt away under the pressure. Britt is a hard working, coaches favorite type of kid, so I would think he'll get better - a lot better. He can do it (make the leap from #2 to #1 receiver), but I wouldn't be shocked either way. One thing is for sure: I don't see this kid being a bust at all - he's been great and spectacular at times over his 3 years at Rutgers. He will, barring injury, be a productive player in the NFL.
A big thanks to Anshey of Protect R Turf for taking some time to put this together for us. As many of you know, Britt is a favorite of mine. And I might actually go out on a limb and say that, if anything, Anshey's report actually sells Britt short a little. That's how highly I think of this kid. And if the Dolphins are indeed considering a receiver with the 25th pick, Britt has got to be in the discussion.

he's great
and will be a T.O type reciever, physical but not blazing fast.. only knock on him i would say from watchign alot of r.u. games is that he’s not very quick out of his breaks… but that goes for any big/tall receiever
I could have written this scouting report
I have been waiting for this report for weeks!
The Patriots Suck
I met Britt last year
Beast in deed, and those speculations about how he has a questionable work ethic, is not true at all.
Another note is that many look down on him cause he comes from the Big East. Well look at this, he played against Darius Butler every year and put up 100 yds this years, he was productive against Cincy year after year when they had two CB’s considered to be 1st days pick during the season. And in 07 he smaked up USF with Michael Jenkins on the team…. This kid will do great things
The Patriots Suck
This guy is a beast
Last year I was all about the Dolphins drafting Henne. I thought he would be perfect for the phins and we snagged him. This year I’ve been raving about this beast of a receiver Kenny Britt. Just imagine Camarillo, Bess, Ginn, London and Britt in a 5 receiver set. A pro bowl secondary couldn’t stop that!
It is very appealing
I just don’t see the FO pulling the trigger on drafting a WR. They have the type of players every team can ask for in a WR corp. Ginn the speedster, Bess the shifty one, Camarillo the position, London the tall endzone threat, not to mention Wilford if he plays like he should is a physical WR.
So it brings the question, you draft Britt, the Fins would have to cut one, who would it be? Many have stated already Wilford cost to much to cut, and many fans would not like to see London go, so who is it?
It would have to be a business move, and would only happen if the FO thought the Rookie WR is better than the what they have already.
The Patriots Suck
The only way I see the Phins taking a WR with their 1st pick..
is if we trade back and get 3 picks in the 2nd round. If Vontae Davis is still around forget it. They may try and get a WR, CB Sean Smith (crosses fingers) and a strong DT. I’ve been hearing the guy from Richmond would be a good pick.
25th pick - LB Clint Sintim
44th pick - CB Sean Smith
56th pick - QB Pat White

DE/OLB
Lawrence Sidbury, Richmond
Height: 6-3. Weight: 265.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Combine 40 Time: 4.64.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 35.
Projected Round (2009): 2-3.
2/24/09: Even unofficially (the official times are obviously screwed up), Lawrence Sidbury ran one of the quickest 40s at the 2009 NFL Combine. He really helped himself on a day in which numerous defensive linemen disappointed.
25th WR – HAKEEM NICKS / UNC
44TH NT - RON BRACE / BC
56TH DE/OLB - PAUL KRUGER / UTAH
87TH ILB – DARRY BECKWITH / LSU
4TH OG - LOUIS VASQUEZ – TX TECH
5th QB – NATE DAVIS / BALL ST
6TH CB - GREG TOLER / ST PAULS (VA)
7TH SS – OTIS WILEY / MSU
7TH CB - DON CAREY / NORFORK ST

We could always
Trade Camarillo or Bess. I love them both and they are HUGE assets to the team but they are the same type of player. We could definately try and move one during draft day IF there is a player at that time we could benefit off of. Just an idea. I wouldn’t want to see any of our receivers leave besides Wilford, which I never wanted to see in a Phins uniform in the first place.
Who knows thats what I love about the draft we can all think corner at 25 and smack we get a lineman
This is Bills baby if he likes a player he is going to take him I like Vontae but does the trifecta there will be good corners left in round 2 we can snag but if Bill does want a guy like Britt or Nicks and lets say wideouts start going like hotcakes in the first then you never know,do I see us taking one with our first pick honestly I dont but like I said you never know.
Ahhhh Ta Ta Ta Ta Bye Bye Foy518
Get Rid of a WR
Iam sorry to say i would rather get rid of Greg camarillo than Bess. I love Camarillo but Bess plays multiple positions and he has great hands aint afaid to go over the middle and can make people miss i would be heart broke if any of them left besides Wilford i say take your loss bring in Hicks or Britt and lose the money and make up wit it when Henne comes in and makes our Offense Crazy thank about it Brown wit cobbs and williams complementy him Henne our QB our bulid O-line Ginn,bess,london,Greg and Britt/Nicks in the spread than we still have Fasano and Martin who can catch and block we could end up wit a very powerfull offense
NFL.com's latest mock has us taking him at 25

Kenny Britt should be around at 25,
but not in the 2nd round. Which is theround when we need to take a reciver.
