Dan Jeremiah Discusses His TOP 5 WR's
- Thread starter Green Jets & Ham
- Start date
Do you agree with that? I know in your mock you had us taking White but I don't remember if it was because Cooper was already selected or if you thought he was the better WR.
All year I've had Cooper #1 , but I didn't see as much of Kevin White. Since Jeremiah first posted his rankings I have taken a much closer look at White and I do see his point, that kid is a beast.
I'm no longer sure about 1 & 2, I now see it more as a 1A & 1B and too me both are potentially elite #1 WR's.
I think the Jets will be alright with either one. We can't strike out on this pick!!!
Me too, Elias, as I added to my prior post, I view both guys as potentially elite #1 WR's.

I found it interesting between all of the teams in the "Final 4" - there wasnt a single WR taken in the first round playing a prominent role.
I do think finding an AJ Green/Calvin Johnson is obviously helpful to a QB and to a team, but my personal opinion is that WR is not a position that you draft as high as 6 unless you have someone as talented AND physically gifted as Calvin is. Cooper is talented, but at 6'1 200 its going to be hard for him to truly demand double coverage and i think there is better value in 2nd-4th round WRs.

Yeah, he's athletic but can he gain separation in the pros? He seems to be involved (as Parker is) in a lot of jump balls not unlike Sammy Watkins when I looked at tape last year. What is it that you see that elevates him over Cooper? I'd be leery in signing up for another Cordarelle Patterson who was benched this year. Are they different? Since you've seen the tape, I'd like to hear your opinion.

If we draft in the later rounds for a receiver I've got my fingers crossed on either Stefon Diggs (Maryland) or Jaxon Shipley (Texas). Diggs has been amazingly coached by the WR coach at Maryland and Shipley has been coached to be a WR since a child by his father who is a well renowned coach. Not to mention his brother played in the NFL up until 2 years ago. Food for thought...hopeful thought.

As far as the top WR in the draft overall, I'm going with Amari Cooper (even though I hate Bama) he has undeniable talent. His film is fun to watch which is probably why I lean towards him instead of Kevin White. If we passed on both of these guys in the draft I wouldn't be upset. There's some good guys in this draft.
