Cosell on top WRs in draft via MMQB

[top dawg]

I was looking through Greg Cosell's twitter page and found this podcast:

http://mmqb.si.com/2015/03/24/the-mmqb-podcast-with-andy-benoit-nfl-draft-wide-receivers/

Cosell starts around 31:45 (I believe, or was it 30, anyway...) This podcast was before Perriman's workout, but he does give his analysis on Perriman, Cooper, White, Parker, Strong, DGB, Coates, and gives a little on Dorsett and Josh Harper.

You take it how you want, but know that all Cosell does is watch film. In my mind, as well as many others', he may be the most knowledgeable evaluator of them all. Just keep in mind that no one has a crystal ball when it comes to this stuff, but he is excellent regarding talent and traits. There are also some other podcasts where he breaks down different positions.

BTW, the hosts were talking around 27 or 28 about Kuecly and something to do with Gatorade, but I didn't have time to listen.

Nice questions and a nice break down! If you have 25 minutes, then listen.

Summary on some guys:

 

He views Strong as a better mover than Parker, and can work well in the NFL against linebackers and safeties on the inside.  He thinks Parker is more of a compliment type of receiver.  Compared him to Davante Adams and Crabtree.

I don't believe that he compared him to Adams in that sense, I believe that he means that Parker is not primary receiver material like Adams.

I want Strong. He's a big, physical, fluid WR with freaking great hands.

KB-Olsen-Strong would be one of the elite receiving cores over the next 4-5 years.

So DGB is far and away the most talented receiver, even more so than Evans and Kelvin.

He also liked Dorsett, who just finished running a 4.25 at his pro day.

[Jeremy Igo]

There is a reason the Panthers like Strong. I would love for him to be the pick. He and KB would be a great combo.

In your opinion, what's his best trait?

His last name

[*FreeFua*]

Even though there's no way JR lets Gettleman draft DGB, I'll still be disappointed to not hear his name called if he's available when we pick

[Mr. Scot]

His last name

Granted. Though given his position, I'd prefer his last name be "Hands".

[Panthro]

Middle name is "Handsare"

[Mr. Scot]

Ima guess but those big mitts, his IQ, his route running or his size and physicality.

Big hands is cool.

How reliable are they?

[Mr. Scot]

Middle name is "Handsare"

Can he change his last name to "Reliable "?

[*FreeFua*]

His hands aren't small but they aren't considered "big" for a WR.

He has 9" hands, for comparison Lafell had 8 3/4" hands and people always talked about how small his hands were
