IMO, there are 5 with true #1 potential:
Devante Parker
Amari Cooper
Kevin White
Sammie Coates
Jaelen Strong
Coates is the boom or bust guy, his hands are a bit too inconsistent for my taste but he has the physical potential to become a huge threat in this league. Of course, there are tons of elite athletes who failed in the NFL at the WR position due to poor ball skills, average body control, and a lack of concentration. Coates could end up just being a situational deep threat his entire career or he could magically turn the corner with great coaching and become a complete WR.
He and Jaelen Strong will be the two who are available at our pick if we are picking late 20s in the 1st. Maybe Kevin White but I have a feeling that someone higher is going to fall in love with him.
Parker and Cooper will be gone in the top 15 if not top 10 picks.
