I admit my WR rankings are pretty different than most rankings you'll see. I'm just not as big a fan of this class as some are. I see a lot of average prospects all grouped together. The only potential #1 NFL WR's I see are Patterson and Patton. Williams I see as more of a #2 and Bailey as a potentially dangerous slot receiver. Allen is a borderline #1/#2, IMO.

I don't like this class much either. I am a self admitted Deandre Hopkins fan (hate that pitiful excuse for a university he attends though) and believe his stock is going to rise over the next few months, and believe he's probably my favorite at this juncture. I mentioned in the thread on him he's been compared to the Roddy White/Hakeem Nicks cloth because of the height/weight/speed package, along with being an intelligent and technically sound player. He'll have a learning period but I believe he can be a good player, so I would place him in my top 5 list, personally.

Also like Tony Jefferson and would place him in there as well. Amongst others but those are just the two I wanted to make mention of.

Patterson is as raw as they come. Needs to really improve is route running and hands.Taking a gamble drafting him. Which most ppl will be find with as the potential is there.

Patton is needs to beef up.

Allen and Rodgers are the best NFL WRs in this draft right now and its not even close if your going by college production and NFL size.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
