Strengths:
Robert Meachem fell under the radar this past college season with the abundance of talent at the WR position. Some scouts would argue that Meachem is the most athletic of the SEC WR prospects, including Dwayne Bowe and Sidney Rice. Meachem produced a ridiculous 18+ yard per reception average, so he has speed to burn. Robert Meachem has drawn comparisons to former Florida State Seminole and current Denver Bronco Javon Walker in the way he goes after the ball when it is in the air, and his freakish athletic talent. Meachem would have put up even more gaudy numbers had the Volunteers would have had more consistent play from the QB position.
Weaknesses:
From time to time it seems that Robert Meachem has a lack of focus and that leads to some dropped passes. Meachem also needs to work on refining his route running, and develop the ability to run every route necessary and not just the deep routes. 2006 was a breakout season for Meachem, so he needs to work hard at the next level to ensure that his junior season does not regulate him to “one year wonder” status.
Overall:
Meachem did not produce stunning numbers throughout his three year career at Tennessee, but his performance in his junior campaign showed much promise and with the speed, agility, and power that Robert Meachem possesses it is easy to project him as a #1 WR in the National Football League. Meachem is a little “raw” still in his development, but with the proper teaching and solid work ethic he will be Pro Bowl WR. Meacham is moving up the board, and could challenge for the #2 WR spot after Calvin Johnson.
