Scouts unsure about Austin, Goodwin
Tavon Austin - WR - West Virginia Mountaineers
Feb. 26, 2013 - 1:20 AM ET

NFL.com's Albert Breer writes that scouts are concerned over how to use West Virginia WR Tavon Austin and Texas WR Marquise Goodwin.

"You need a plan, and you have to know going in," an anonymous Big 12 scout told Breer. "Some guys, you can say, 'This one's an X' or 'This one's a Y' or 'This one's a slot and we're gonna use him in the return game.' You can categorize most guys as possession or speed receivers, because they have the dimensions, the height, weight and speed in a range. With these guys, you don't meet those guidelines, so you have to do extra. Otherwise, you're potentially gonna waste a pick."
