Here is my list . . .
Top three, move around the names, it doesn't matter, we don't have a shot . . .
1. Kevin White, WVU . . . only one year of elite production, but his athletic skils, especially his speed and agility, move his pro potential to the top of the board.
2. Davante Parker, Louisville . . . Again, Cooper produces more consistently than both these guys, but Parker's athletic upside and late season progression gives him the nod. He's a big play threat with excellent high point ability. Knock is that there are durability concerns and he's not a big RAC player.
3. Amari Cooper, Alabama . . . Production, athletic ability, size, consistency. Cooper is probably the safest play in this draft to be a long term, high caliber contributor . . . but his ceiling is lower. He's not a HOF type talent like I see in White and, too a lesser degree, Parker.
Further first rounders who could possibly fall if there are runs at other positiions . . .
4. Jaelen Strong, Arizona St. . . . they say he doesn't separate well, I say their offense didn't showcase that ability because of poor QB play. Strong has size, leaping ability, speed and short area acceleration that is off the charts. He's a hgih point master who will be a panicked QB's best friend. One of my favorites in this draft.
5. Sammie Coates, Auburn . . . This is a projection pick. Coates is at his best doing two things, running straight lines and blocking the heck out of people. He's raw as a route runner and doesn't show the change of direction yet to excel at digs and comebacks, but vertical routes, slants and drags are his forte, and what really makes him tick is raw physicality. Coates remind me a lot of Terrell Owens.
6. Breshad Perriman, UCF . . . Another projection. His game is far from polished as a route runner, and the UCF scheme makes it looks easy with simple reads, so he's got to improve technically and in film work. But he has great athletic ability, sticky hands, and runs better than he should at his size after the catch. Some guys are big and fast, some are small and shifty, Perriman manages to be both. Another favorite of mine, I've been on him since january when most had him as a 4th round pick.
7. Dorial Green-Beckham, Oklahoma/Missouri . . . Every thing you want in a WR is there except experience and attitude. He has the ability to run every route (even though he hasn't done it!), speed, leaping ability, size, hands, body control . . . everything. But there are those off-field issues, and more importantly for Seattle, there are mental lapses and on-field laziness that shows up on tape. He's not a high effort player away from the play, and too often he forgets where he is, where he's supposed to be, how to catch . . . the game is there, but its not there all the time, and that's a major concern.
2nd rounders that could go early, could go late, all depends on which teams love them . . .
8. Devin Smith, Ohio State . . . If you want a pure speed player, a guy to stretch the defense from end zone to end zone and draw safety coverage from the middle of the field, Smith is the guy you want. Like Coates, he's a straightline guy right now, and the team drafting him will have to work with that early, but in a straight line he's got the burst to eat up a cushion fast and the long speed to blow by defenders. As an additional perk, despite being smallist, he's probably one of the best blockers in this class.
9. Phillip Dorsett, Miami . . . Dorsett is a speed guy too, but is better on routes that open up his RAC skills than he is as a pure downfield burner. He's a guy who can take a bubble screen or quick slant and turn it into a monster play. He's guy you can use on jet sweeps and tricks out of the backfield and scare defenses. What he isn't is big, and his hands are occasionally inconsistent. Of this class, he's the guy who most reminds me of Percy.
3rd round and down . . .
10. Tyler Lockett, Kansas St. . . . I really only have him here for return ability, not because he's not a good receiver, but more because he feels redundant to me. He basically is Paul Richardson. Small, thin, wiry, fast, runs good routes, reliable and productive, but his NFL upside is severely limited by his frame.
11. Chris Conley, Georgia . . . Chris Harper, Kris Durham, Chris Conley. Besides sharing the same name they are raw athletic prospects with little production and no technical skills. Conley is a big, fast blank canvas, and coaching and desire will dictate whether he's just another Chris, or a clone of Marques Colston. He shows some good things on tape, enough to tempt, but the sample size is so small that his campus workout with position coaches is going to be the thing that decides his draft stock.
12. Nelson Algholar, USC . . . Honestly I get a JAG vibe from Algholar. He feels to me like AJ Jenkins or Rashaun Woods. A quality college player with no defining skils that will set him apart in the pros. he's a guy who will play out his first contract and then bounce around the league a few years. His upside IMO is Jermaine Kearse.
13. Tre McBride, William and Mary . . . McBride is a solid return man with above average receiving skills. His stock and trade is route running . . . among the best in this class at selling fakes, planting his feet, and bursting out of cuts. But he doesn't show good field speed and doesn't offer much after the catch. He's strictly an over the middle slot type player. He'll move the sticks, but won't scare anyone. Reminds me of Bobby Engram or (gasp!) Doug Baldwin.
14. Kenny Bell, Nebraska . . . A smaller version of McBride, Bell does a lot fo things really well, but nothing so well that a defense has to worry about it. What he adds is the ability to block really well. But his upside is limited by a fairly maxed out frame and an injury history that feels chronic.
15. Darren Waller, Georgia Tech . . . All the athletic ability you want, but like Conley there is nothing on film to base a projection on, and unlike Conley he's actually a weak blocker coming from a high volumn rushing team. But his raw athletic ability will be intriguing to a team like Seattle.
Notable Guys left off the list . . .
Funchess . . . He's not a WR. He's a TE.
Ty Montgomery . . . oh what a glorious return man . . . and what a mess of a WR.
