Who do you think will be the top WR and why?  The draft will obviously have a huge impact, but it will be interesting to see what people think now compared with afterwards based on where players fall.

 
They're such different players.  Put Shepard on the right team and he could be a ppr monster like Edelman.  Take Edelman off the Patriots and put him with Flacco and he's trash.  Put fuller with Flacco I'm interested.  Put fuller with Brady and I'll pass.   

Doctson looks like the best combination of size,  speed,  athleticism and receiving ability but he is a bit raw and probably needs to work with good coaches and/or a top qb.  Not sure how I feel about him in Minnesota. 

Coleman has a ton of talent and could produce right away but he needs a confident qb who will let a small target fight for 50/50 balls and who has a strong enough arm to make defenses play off him until he gets better at route running.

Treadwell would be perfect with a confident qb lacking a wr1.  The saints would be ideal for him.  He's a better Colston with a better Devery Henderson named brandin cooks.  

Thomas is so polarizing.  I have no idea where to put him but if he succeeds or fails it will probably be based on his talent and not just his landing spot.  

Boyd played against good teams who knew he was the only thing going and he still was a beast.   I don't think he's physically talented enough to be a top 5 NFL wr and I think a couple other of these guys could do it, so I can't pick him as the best,  but I can definitely see him being a solid fantasy wr2 for years.  

No interest in Braxton miller or any guy like that.  I'll be wrong sometimes but I'll be right more often than the guys who keep picking the omg talent player of the day. 

No mention of caroo? Zwk is going to be pissed.

 
Voted Doctson since we don't know where any of these guys will land. I think he's the most situation-proof, but I wouldn't bet against Treadwell or Coleman.

In what ways do you see him being raw to the point where his rawness (is that a real word?) sticks out more than the other receivers on this list? 

Don't get me wrong he definitely has areas to improve but so does every other one of these receivers. I think Doctson actually has some nicely nuanced skills to his game. Not saying that you're alone in this opinion or that you've wrong I was just wondering what makes him raw versus what the other receivers are doing. 

Also, I would've liked your posted twice. Once for the player opinions and once for that last line.

:rant:

I'll rant for Carroo and vote for Doctson.

Carroo because he produced the best at all the stats while catching passes from Chris Laviano. Doctson because he was up there at all the stats, and is highly rated by pretty much everyone including the guy who counted how often each receiver gets open. And the both of them because of relatively good size, athleticism, and hands.

 
I'll pick Coleman. He's so explosive, and plays far bigger than his size, yes he has drops, but sometimes that is because he gets to balls most wouldn't. I see Coleman as what Santonio Holmes would have been if he had a strong work ethic.

I don't know that there will be a truly elite WR from this class, there is nobody that I think is a better prospect than Cooper or White were last year in my opinion, but I think Coleman is the safest bet, because I think he has skills to fit every system.
