[POLL] BEST WIDE RECEIVER PROSPECT IN THE 2013 DRAFT?

[YouMadd?]

Who you guys got at #1? Forgive me if I forgot anyone... These are just my opinion of the best... Rank em...


1. Cordarrelle Patterson 2. Terrence Williams 3. Keenan Allen 4. Justin Hunter 5. Deandre Hopkins 6. Robert Woods 7. Tavon Austen

EDIT: Updated Rankings

I personally like Cordarrelle Patterson the most. For only playing major college football for one season, he impressed me. Plus, he's electric with the ball in his hands. Hope the Fins grab him at #12 .

 

[#1 pick]

Hard to say, the top guys all around the same range, it just depends where they go to be honest.

I slept on Cordarelle to be honest... Dude is fast

I like Hunter more because of his size though...

EDIT: shyt but they are pretty much the same size now that I see the stats....

Da'Rick Rodgers if he can stop being a knucklehead

 

[iamduval]

I like Woods

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

My biggest concern with Keenan Allen is that almost 2/3 of his catches came within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, and his YAC was just average, nothing special. He excelled a lot of times because he was bigger and more physical than the guy lining up across from him. Question is, what happens when the corners in the NFL are just as physical as him? And it's not like he's Brandon Marshall or Anquan Boldin in terms of being a beast, so I think that could limit his potential. I can see him having trouble creating separation at the next level.

Woods is solid, but that's just it, he's solid. His ceiling isn't really to where he could be the #1 receiver IMO. If you're drafting a guy in the 1st round, that's kind of what you expect. Also TS, I think you could include Steadman Bailey in there also, he's right in that same area. Same with Quinton Patton and Markus Wheaton. WR class is deep as hell this year.

You pretty much can't lose in this draft...

Thats a good point... Now that I watch more of Patterson's highlights I am

I was more in aww at how easy Allen was moving around at 6'3 215....

The combines are going to really going to be important for this crop of wide outs...

 

[malbaker86]

average wr class imo

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

people are sleeping on Terrence Williams, he reminds me a lot of Mike Wallace

Yeah dude just makes these hard ass catches in awkward positions, which I think is huge because in the NFL you're gonna be challenged by DB's more...

 

[SubLyminalz]

terrance williams


his performance against wvu alone makes him the top prospect

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

While there's no Julio Jones, Megatron, AJ Green, etc. in this class, I think it's interesting not only because of the depth in the first 3 rounds, but it really comes down to what kind of receiver you're in the market for.


Williams, Patterson, Bailey, and Hopkins can all get deep and blow the cover off the defense.

Guys like Swope and Austin are ideal in the slot

Hunter and Keenan Allen are bigger, more possession receivers.


So I think where they fall in the draft is going to have more to do with how they fit on a particular team rather than overall ability.
