Cooks definitely has better long speed but I re-watched some of Cooks' games and I now find myself reconsidering where I should rank him. I'm giving a decent amount of weight on the fact that Cooks was a Biletnikoff semi-finalist in 2012 and then won in 2013 and maybe too much. He's definitely fast but when I see him make cuts, he's not very efficient. He also doesn't appear to be much of a juker like a DeSean Jackson. OBJ seems to shine over Cooks in that facet which I think is a more important trait.
I've been changing my rankings nightly this week as I anticipate the NFL draft. But as of this moment, here are the top 7 guys I'm targeting (I have 5 first round picks):
Rank 2014 WRs 1 Sammy Watkins 2 Allen Robinson 3 Brandin Cooks 4 Jordan Matthews 5 Davante Adams 6 Odell Beckham Jr. 7 Mike Evans

You'd think it's an easily learned trait, but apparently, by talking to many people in the industry, it's not...
But the way Beckham makes that step towards the ball to create that separation (and make the catch) is awesome. far too many WRs let the ball come to them, Beckham seems to always go to the ball, which creates that space that allows him to make the first move to get my defenders without elite speed.
Love this kid

Reminds me a little bit of Donald Driver. Not going to just fly downfield, but great making cuts and presenting a reliable target.

He comes from good genes too. His dad was a D1 RB (I wanna say LSU) and his mom a former track star.

I agree with the high ranking of Robinson btw, and sort of lower ranking of Beckham Jr. There's a lot of optimism surrounding Beckham after measuring well at the combine, but it doesn't help him create more separation than some of the other receivers in this draft. Despite his physical traits, he couldn't outproduce his less gifted teammate Landry, which worries me.
With that said, I wouldn't rank Beckham Jr. below Adams, or especially Matthews - of whom I have even more of the same reservation.
Rhythmdoctor
Footballguy
Yeah, Im having a hard time with those three guys. Really my whole top 7 is tough to rank. Tome there is no slam dunk pick. My favorite is A Rob and if his combine 40 would have been higher he would be my slam dunk.

I read some blurbs from SEC coaches and they all echoed the same sentiment...their defensive game plan was to take away Beckham, not Landry. So I wouldn't worry too much about Landry marginally outperforming Beckham.
Bob Magaw
Footballguy
I could see that, he is versatile, in some ways like Hines Ward, though more explosive. Brown, Beckham and Wheaton would be a really dangerous trio that could stretch the field vertically.

Faust....I dig what you do. I appreciate you adding links to these outside articles that I'd otherwise probably not come across.
However, I can't tell you how many times I click on a thread I'm following to see that the only new post is you posting a link.
Just once I wish you'd bring an opinion/analysis to the table. Maybe you do at times, but it doesn't seem like it's very often.
Again, not bashing.

Fair comment. It takes significant time to hunt down and post the volume of articles that I come across, so it doesn't leave a lot of time for me to add my own commentary, and often the articles are comprehensive enough that there isn't always much else to add. I also appreciate the debate and discussion that they stimulate among the FBG community and I gain a lot of insight from what gets posted in these discussions (when the threads don't deteriorate into bickering and name calling, which can happen frequently, and we should keep this one in mind at all times:URGENT - Please Read ).
I also post the Rookie polls and the Annual Training Camp threads, which also take a lot of time, so I don't always leave my own commentary in what I post. I will try to add my own thoughts a little more!

Jeremiah: Odell Beckham fits Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 15 pickBy Bryan Fischer

Brown, Wheaton, and Beckham Jr. would be a nice trio for Roethlisberger to be throwing to, even if all 3 are under 6'

As much as I like Beckham, I am also a Steelers fan and I would not be happy if they went that route. I think Beckham could do well in Pittsburgh as a player but we need secondary help bad and a tall target not another sub 6foot guy with electric play-making.

PIT has had 6'0" plus WRs, but other than Plaxico (drafted before Tomlin), have they had many BIG WRs in recent years that made an impact? Limas Sweed was a bust, of course.
They seem to like WRs that aren't necessarily huge. They do have a good TE, one of the better complete blocker/receiver TEs, with Witten
Ward
Holmes
Wallace
Brown
Sanders

I love his measurables and Beckham looks to be highly drafted (also a good predictor), but have a tough time getting past 2 receiving TDs and marginal yardage totals in 26 SEC games. In his 9 games vs decent teams (not the non-conference fluff slate) in 2013: Auburn, Georgia, Miss State, Florida, Ole Miss, Alabama, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Iowa, Beckham did not score in 8 of them. He was held to 3 or fewer catches in 4 of the 9. Under 75 receiving yards in 7 of 9. I don't know of any way to spin those numbers to make them look good.
If he can't score TDs in the SEC, I don't tend to think he will start doing so in the NFL. Furthermore, this lack of production comes catching passes from Mettenberger (probably 1st-2nd rounder) and highly-touted and productive Jarvis Landry on the other side of the field. Just curious in hearing from those that have him highly ranked (like top three) as to what your thoughts are on his lack of production throughout his college career.

Zach Mettenberger is not a very good QB.
He only threw for 12 TD in 2012 and then 22 TD in 2013
Beckham did score 8 TD in 2013
In 2013 LSU ran the ball 40.5 times a game with 25 pass attempts and it is easier to throw it to Landry who will sell out to make up for the bad throw.

Does it matter how good Beckum looks against Furman and UAB?
Yeah, and calling Mettenberger inaccurate is way off. Best to not make things up going forward.

I said he makes bad throws not that he was inaccurate. So who is making things up? If you have watched him play or Landry or Beckham you see that they are constantly bailing him out on poorly placed passes even on easy throws like WR screens.
You put all these weapons around the guy and set him up for success with NFL level coaching and all he does is put up 22 TD?
He is not a good QB.
Leroy's Aces

The NFL seemingly disagrees based on Mettenberger's draft grade. I think maybe smallish sample size/bad luck or that good teams rolled coverage over to Beckham's side could have some merit. Conversely, maybe Beckham is a potential undersized, highly-drafted, deep-threat bust, a la Ted Ginn or Troy Wiliamson (not comping as players, just draft position, size and that they busted)
Is Mettenberger better than Sean Mannion (Cooks' QB) who was so good that he returned for his senior year after getting his degree already? Or is he better than Austin Carta-Samuels (Jordan Matthews QB)? Or Tajh Boyd, a projected late round pick?
Cooks, Matthews and Watkins don't have the same production issues as Beckham with lesser QBs than Mettenberger.

I could see Beckham being the top wideout in this draft when all is said and done. I think he's more Isaac Bruce than Troy Williamson.

Mettenberger has been mocked to the Vikings more than any other QB in the draft. So naturally as I am a Vikings fan I look into the player and if I think that is a good idea.
I do not. I think he is very over-rated QB who besides size and arm strength has a lot of holes in his game.
Not saying that dismisses your question about Beckhams production. I think that is a good question. I am just giving some perspective/context as to why the numbers may not look very good.
As far as the other QBs Mannion did throw for 37 TD compared to Mettenberger's 22. So he may not be a better QB for the NFL but his college numbers are certainly better.
Matthews is just outstanding pretty much any way you look at him. I cannot really argue that Beckham is a better WR than he is.

Rather than quote that mega-quoted post, Biabreakable, I will just say thanks for the feedback. I actually like Beckham to an extent and am still struggling to figure out where to rank him in this WR class, hence the questions on production.
Biabreakable
Footballguy
It gives me some pause as well. I was reading McGinn's piece yesterday and what he and the scouts he was talking to mentioned is that the junior WR who had good production in two of their college seasons compared to only one were much more successful. While the juniors who only had one season of good production failed more frequently in the NFL.
I think I put that in the 2014 WR thread. The cut off was 36+ receptions. So Beckham did accomplish that all 3 seasons he played.

Receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry bring new level of LSU excellence to draft
2014 NFL DRAFT PRIMER, NFL DRAFT, NFL DRAFT 2014
BY DOUG FARRAR http://nfl.si.com/2014/02/27/odell-beckham-jr-jarvis-landry-lsu-2014-nfl-draft/
LSU has sent several receivers to the NFL in the last few decades. From Eric Martin to Eddie Kennison back in the day, to Devery Henderson and Dwayne Bowe more recently, the Tigers have been a good source for raw talent at the position. And in the 2014 draft, there are two such players looking to make their mark on the NFL. Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. are very different players, but they’ve been tight since the day they each walked on campus — and even before.
“It’s an interesting relationship,” Landry said at the scouting combine last week. “I got a chance to meet him our sophomore year of high school and we talked about playing together and competing against each other each game, each week. We finally had a chance to go to LSU together, and it was surreal just to think that all that we talked about, we were experiencing.”
Both were high-school standouts in Louisiana. Landry was at the top of all the recruiting lists out of Lutcher High, from MaxPreps to Rivals to Scout.com, and Beckham joined Cooper Manning as the only players from Isidore Newman High in New Orleans to post a 1,000-yard receiving season. Rivals.com listed him as the best receiver prospect in the nation. But it was when they joined forces at LSU that their styles of play meshed perfectly together, and ushered in a new level of productivity. In 2013, Landry grabbed 77 passes for 1,193 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Beckham caught 57 balls for 1,117 yards and eight scores. Their yards per reception totals (15.5 for Landry, 19.6 for Beckham), clearly outline their disparate but complementary skills.
“We each bring different things,” Beckham said last week. “He’s a possession guy — he can catch everything around him. I’m a guy who’s going to take the top off a defense and use my speed and strength. He’s a physical guy who’s going to make the tough catches. I’m looking forward to seeing how the draft plays out.”
One of Landry’s underrated attributes is that he’s effective from anywhere in the formation — from outside, to in the slot, to inside and outside in trips and bunch formations. He doesn’t have top-end field speed, but he has developed the skills possession receivers need to succeed in the NFL — he has good hands, runs the whole route tree and makes tough catches in traffic. He’s practiced at getting yards after the catch on short passes, and he’s a willing (if not always on-target) blocker. You’d like Landry to be a little bigger with his specific skillset — slower, tougher guys really help if they can jump up and win in the red zone — but he can help any NFL team if the scheme can account for his difficulty in gaining separation at the line of scrimmage.
Beckham has no issue gaining separation — as he said, he excels at taking the top off a defense. As a receiver and returner, he’s got rare speed, and the ability to hit a top gear at a moment’s notice. Over and over, you’ll see him hang with a defender for a split second, and just accelerate into another dimension. He’s incredibly shifty in short spaces and has amazing downfield vision. And Beckham isn’t just a straight-line threat. His understanding of routes, while not on the same level as Landry’s, is impressive. Add in a surprising catch radius for a player his size (5-foot-11, 196), and you’ve got a sure first-rounder able to help any offense in the NFL. Though Clemson’s Sammy Watkins is the consensus top receiver in this class, I’d say that Beckham is the better home-run threat — and in my opinion, there isn’t a lot to separate the two in overall value.
Landry’s combine performance wasn’t anything to write home about — he posted the slowest official 40 time among all receivers at 4.77 — but that isn’t his game anyway. That probably makes him a low second- or high third-round pick in theory. Beckham, on the other hand, went off at Lucas Oil Stadium, as I wrote in my pool report.
Overall, the thing that impressed me most about Beckham in these drills was that he’s very comfortable with his speed. Not only is he track and field-fast, he also glides through routes and catches the ball with confidence. On the gauntlet drill, he ran through and caught everything, keeping his feet on the line all the way through. A lot of receivers weave through (Mike Evans had an issue with this), but Beckham stayed with his speed. He’s compact in his movements and doesn’t shoot out of line. This matches up with his game tape — even when he’s creating explosive plays, he’s consistent with his movements.
Beckham looked pretty good on the six-yard slant, making a quick in-cut to catch the ball. But on the 10-yard out to the left, he rounded his cut a bit, though he caught the ball. The 17-yard in-and-up was a bit more of an adventure — Beckham was a bit slow in his break off the line, and he rolled through the second pylon. And if there’s one thing I’d say he needs to work on, it’s the consistent ability to cut and keep with a quarterback’s timing. On deep routes with fewer angles, Beckham was in his element – fluid off the snap and great acceleration up the field. Moreover, that speed is consistent, meaning that quarterbacks can time him with confidence. And I believe that’s one of the more underrated attributes a receiver can have. He adjusted to his right and left on deeper routes to grab passes that were a bit off, and you love to see a player who can bail his quarterback out. Again, that’s consistent with his LSU tape.
Beckham was slightly choppy on the 12-yard curl, but he was clearly trying to be better with his cuts there, and he was OK. He ran through nicely and sank his hips into the breaks. The final route was a deep post corner, where the receiver starts at the 15-yard line, cuts in at the 26, out at the 34, and bends the route to about the 50-yard line. He sat in his breaks (adjusted to cut momentum) very well here and made another nice adjustment to catch the ball.
Beckham ran an official 4.33 40, good for a tie for fifth among all receivers, and he was as athletic in the drills as he was on the field. This should be no surprise, as athleticism runs in the family. Beckham’s father played running back for LSU from 1990 through ’92, and his mother, Heather Van Norman, was an All-America track runner at LSU from 1991 through ’93, playing a big part in the Tigers’ string of five straight national championships.
As athletic as Beckham is, he wasn’t quite sure he could beat his mom in a straight race right now. He said last week with a somewhat straight face that the two have a race planned for sometime after the combine.
“I’d definitely say it helped out,” he said. “My mom being a track star — it definitely made me who I am today. My mom’s always coaching me up on track stuff, and my dad’s always helping me with football. I remember her texting me after games, and I’ve had decent games, and she’s said, ‘Oh, your form looks great.’ It’s funny to hear coming from her, but she’s a track coach.”
Beckham has a lot of confidence in his ability to transition to the NFL, and the tape backs it up.
“I’d definitely say I’m up there with the best. It just depends on what a team needs, and which team likes you.”
Landry knows where he stands in the scheme of things, and he’s appreciative of the differences between himself and his teammate and friend.
“It’s like apples and oranges. We’re both great players. We’re both weird players. He takes the top off things a lot. For me, it’s intermediate, it’s special teams and kickoff. It’s the dirty work mostly, but you know, I love to do it.”

In the videos of the links above what I saw was Beckham doing well on the come back routes, as the defenders gave him a lot of space respecting his deep speed.
He is targeted deep a few times in the video all but one of them were off target. One he does catch he had to come back for the ball and catch it over the defender who also had a chance to make a play on the ball. He makes a couple catches that were almost in the ground. I will say this for Mettenberger he does throw the deep out well, and that is a difficult throw.

You. I saw every game. Landry and Beckham were playmakers, but bailing him out is fiction. I'm not calling you a liar, I'm saying you didn't see the games. You can dispense with the hilarious semantics games of bad throws vs inaccurate. I'm sure you regretted that right after you posted it.

How much does OBD's value change if he goes to say the Jets versus the Bills versus the Giants? Those seem like are the three teams I hear mentioned right now and they make sense. I hope it's the Giants personally. Does his value take a hit on the Jets and Bills or would he still be the concensus 1.03?

I wouldn't be against it but I really don't see this happening. I think the only guys the Giants will take at 12 are: Martin, Evans, Ebron, Donald if any of them fall or if not, they will try to trade back.

By all accounts , this RB class is weak and there aren't many clear cut RB's that I'd take a chance on that early in the rookie drafts. Watkins, Evans, ODB, Lee and maybe even Latimer are safer picks.
I'm just curious which RB's you like? The reason I ask is that there seems to be a lot of disagreement on who even the top 5 RB's are......not the order of those RB's, but just who the top 5 ARE.....let alone ranking those top 5. Please tell me who you have ranked so high......because I bet you'll change your mind on said RB's once they aren't drafted as high as you anticipate.

Is he saying Beckham should be picked ahead of Evans, or that people should be surprised if he is? Could read either way.
