Welp...here we are again :DeadHorse:
Remember when some foolishly optimistic dumb-ass said this?

Re: WRs ....the 2014 version
Mentioning PSU's Allen Robinson first, not b/c he's my top guy, but b/c a comparison (or "comp", going forward) immediately came to mind: Keenan Allen.
Nevermind, their mirrored names, they share incredibly similar college systems, physical builds and YAC dynamism.
See http://draftbreakdown.com/players/?position=WR for per target cut-ups.
And oh...Keenan is rocking a 50 of 72 for 737 and 3 TDs. That's a 69% catch rate and 14.7 YPC. However, his YAC/Rec is only a middle-of-the-road 5.4 (SEA's Tate lead the NFL with 8.7). So it seems like he will have success in an NFL offense that's far beyond the hitch and slant heavy offense that he had at Cal. Of course, having a real QB helps too. Whatever the case, he's providing excellent 3rd round value and is actually SD's #1 WR due to multiple injuries at the position (Floyd, Alexander).
*pats self on back*
Back to Robinson...has anyone watched a lot of him yet?Last edited by BigPlayReceiver; 11-27-2013 at 01:54 PM.

Re: WRs ....the 2014 version
From what I've seen, he is intriguing. Maybe as a mid 2nd rounder. Keenan Allen is a good conparison.
What I like about his is he is a hands catcher, even in cold weather. I think when you play in an outdoor stadium in the north east then that is something that should be considered.

Re: WRs ....the 2014 version
I very much like the fact that a WR the caliber of PSU's Allen Robinson will probably be available in the second and perhaps even third round.

Big fan of Beckham as well.
I'm very very high on this WR class. I'd be disappointed if Ozzie & Co. don't draft more than one.

Another guy I like maybe in the 3rd is Davante Adams out of Fresno State.
He reminds me of a poor mans Justin Blackmon

I really like Jordan Matthews out of Vanderbilt. Guy has good size, nice hands and concentration.

Re: WRs ....the 2014 version
Right now I drank my top 5 like this:
Mike Evans
Sammy Watkins
Jordan Matthews
Marqise Lee
Odell Beckham Jr
I'd prob follow that group up with Brandin Cooks, Jarvis Landry and maybe Cody Hoffman.
I really like the LSU boys. I wasn't super high on either of them, but they're flat out play makers.
