There are several guys whom I haven't seen enough of, so I don't know of it is or isn't as weak as I think it is - but it seems to me like there aren't many big time WR prospects in this upcoming draft.
Calvin Ridley is one of the top guys and as much as I love him, I worry about his size. I think he'll struggle in the NFL against some more physical DB's. It's also possible he has another level to his game that's getting hidden on this team because of how run heavy they are. The talent is there - he's just been underutilized. I see an NFL WR there, but I'm not sure if Calvin will ever be a true WR1. He actually reminds me a little bit of Robby Anderson.
Courtland Sutton is sort of hard to read given that he's coming out of SMU but what little I've seen has been impressive.
Not sure what to make of Arden Tate since Francois was hurt in the opener this year. I'm not even sure he's declaring. Big kid with lots of potential, though.
Maybe Sy or those who are spending more time watching these kids can throw some other names out there to look for.
Just seems to me like there are fewer big names at the position than I can remember there being in a while.
Agreed. I think he’s going to be very productive at either the inside slot or outside...
The flip side is true too. Guys who seem like can't miss stars out of college fizzle in the NFL all the time. We can all think of those guys. There are a few every year.
Kirk has a little OBJ in him.
James Washington is another that will be at the top of the WR list. The SMU boys are somewhere up there as well.
Doesn't seem like its star studded but solid throughout.. just like every year. That's one position that will never be short on talent. WR and RB will always have talented players available.
Washington had a great year with Mason at OSU, but I think he still needs to run well at the Combine. And B12 receivers are also a bit stigmatized by playing in the Swiss cheese D conference.
Stud.
Sort of bigger Steve Smith, Sr.
His top target was JMon Moore. Up and down with his production but has good size and seems pretty smooth. Would be curious where Sy has him...

Drew Lock is the Missouri QB.
Yep. He’s my fave WR in the draft.
And a return specalist with a homerun threat would be perfect. A Will Fuller type
Talent on offense is very strong at rb, even stronger then last year. Barkley, Guide, Michel, kid fro sdsu , kid from USC ... just to point out a few.
Huge frame
