Let's talk WRs - Page 14

Who's your top ranked receiver right now?

For me, the most pro-ready and best all around prospect at WR is Amari Cooper. He would come in and immediately start across from Bowe and eventually replace him as the primary WR.

What's wrong with Sammy Coates?

The guy has all of the tools in the world, I would equate him to Vernon Davis but at the WR position, but he hasn't produced much at all this season. Coates isn't even close to being his team's leading receiver so I'm not going to blame it on the scheme. Physically, Coates looks like a top 10 pick but his production is that of a mid to late rounder. Where would you take him?

Any thoughts on Coates' teammate, D'haquille Williams?

There is a massive difference in production between he and Sammy Coates so far this year; yes, this could be entirely due to Coates being injured from the Arkansas game but Coates only caught one pass in that game and dropped a possible TD pass despite playing 52 snaps against the Razorbacks. Williams is a JUCO transfer with good size, speed, and explosiveness, though not on the same level as Coates as far as pure physical ability goes. Is he a potential #1 WR or just a 2 at best?

Does DGB declare? If so, do you even dare to touch him given his off-field issues?

Despite not playing this season, I think that there is a real possibility that DGB does declare for the 2015 NFL draft; he just doesn't seem like the type of person who would be willing to go through another year of college over getting paid as a pro athlete. If he does declare, what round would you be willing to take a risk on him? The guy has had problems with at least two key NFL issues, abuse of women and weed. DGB has top 5 talent but an off-field reputation that would have him banned from the league if he had committed those acts as a Pro.

Do Jaelen Strong, Kevin White, or Devante Parker have enough speed to be potential #1 WRs? If not, are their other gifts good enough for them to be close to what Larry Fitzgerald has been in the league?

Is Stefon Diggs actually that fast? When I watch him, I don't see the same dimension of speed that guys like Jackson, Wallace, etc have. I'll be very curious to see what he actually runs at the Combine.

Who are you guys keeping your eyes on this year at the WR position?

I'd try to sign Maclin and draft Devin Smith. You have a ready made WR corps, with two incredibly smooth, fast WRs who can stretch the field, or run precision underneath routes.

O.city · 01-22-2015, 12:31 PM

You guys think Smith will go first round?

I think so. I don't think he'd slip any farther than the top of the 2nd round at worst.

Holy shit Kevin Lockett and Phillip Dorsett are BEASTING out there.

These are the kind of WR's we need. These guys can get open in a hurry and kill you in YAC.

Yup. I'd prefer Dorsett but I wouldn't mind Lockett either.

If you haven't already, try to check out Dezmin Lewis from Central Arkansas. Great size, good body control, and good ball skills.

kccrow · 01-25-2015, 09:44 PM

Late sleeper for you guys...

Chase Cochran - Ohio 6'2" 185 or so. Nice speed. can catch the ball in traffic too.

Here's the only highlights I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmcfrDzG78U

After seeing Dorial Green-Beckham in person before the Super Bowl, I started asking NFL scouts what they've heard about his year at Oklahoma. As one Southwest scout assigned to Oklahoma told me, "He's completely turned his life around. Big brother moved in, whipped his ass and took control. He's on the straight-and-narrow since leaving Mizzou."

— As teams get together at headquarters to group-scout players, one director of scouting told me he was "very surprised" by Green-Beckham's speed on tape. "He has a lot more scoot than I saw back in January."

Yeah, I would love to have him but would be worried at the same time.

If he's there when KC picks..they need to take him. Dude looks like a young Calvin Johnson.
