2017 WR prospect thread

[Jacquouille]

I've been really impressed by Dede Westbrook lately. He's having monster production and is a pleasure to watch. He's growing really fast on me.

He's just so thin.  Reminds me a lot of Paul Richardson so far.

Corey Davis won't make it to the second round. And these, " THE, DB, WR," etc. threads end up with 5000 pages.

Did I mention Ardarius Stewart?

If we keep Wallace I'm sure we will and with SSS still possibly retiring I think we need to go with a big body possession type WR hopefully we resign Aiken which would make it less of a need. Wallace Aiken Perriman Moore and then the possibility of Camp/Reynolds as a slot possession guy but I would like a bigger 6ft plus 210lber with great hands. It's too early to tell because we could end up anywhere on the draft board I guess more clarity to come.

JuJu or Corey Davis please

Both guys fit that mold but do we go WR that early. Maybe Dural from LSU as a projected 4th-5th round pick. Plus LSU has a good recent history with WRs

I don't understand how Dural is projected that low, he's been bailing his QB out for 3 seasons and producing in so many ways... Criminally underrated.

measurables man. hes like a jarvis landry, anyone who watched the tape knew he was a baller but the combine numbers turned teams away because they want big plays. hes a great route runner albeit in a cam cameron system therefore lots of north/south routes which isnt too favorable these days, hes not the biggest guy but has decent size, he makes some good catches but hasnt done a whole lot of the jumpball jaw dropping catches scouts look for, and his speed is just solid, not spectacular. 

its a shame, really, hes a 2nd round talent in my eyes but id be surprised to see him go there.

I'm not sure if I buy Ross yet, so far I just don't see how he's above Davis - and I still haven't seem much of Ford.

Ross is a fast scrappy guy like SSS. Him, Juju, Mike, and corey would all be good picks.

[ravensnick]

By and far away the best WR is Mike Williams. I'd go far to say he is the only WR that deserves a round 1 grade. He's the only surefire #1 I see in this class.

[ravensnation5220]

I have to say although this class isnt very top heavy it still is a pretty deep class from the 2nd to 4th round. 

Gabe marks might be the most underrated receiver in this class. He seems to catch everything thrown his way. Hes got phenomenal ball skills and body control. Makes 50-50 balls look like 70-30 balls lol. He has 27 recieving touchdowns the past 2 years and is on pace for 30 so the production is definitely there

[ravensnick]

I like the comparison to Paul Richardson for Westbrook, but that bears reminding that I don't think his game completely transfers, like Richardson. He's pretty skinny.

So nobody  is on the ju ju Smith bandwagon  ????

I'm definitely not. No way in hell I'm drafting a USC WR early. Plus Juju looks like he lacks NFL speed.

Depends on where we pick, I'd consider him in 25+ range, not before. Like above, he lacks the speed and the ability to separate. I still love him because he just looks so much like a taller Steve Smith when he plays.

[Dewy101]

Really like Artavis Scott. He's really underrated. Possibly can slide into the slot and solve our KR/PR woes. 

[Jacquouille]

Two things:

1) Josh Reynolds would be exactly what the doctor ordered for us. Llacks the speed but great route running and insane catch radius.

2) Not what we need but KD Cannon is one hell of a player. Like him more than John Ross if you ask me.

USC WR's turn out horrible nowadays and is issues are already showing at this level. Future bust.

After seeing the first half oft his Oklahoma game Dede Westbrook is hands down the best WR of this draft. Expect his hype to SOAR. 

I  like him also my top three  Wr  prospects are Mike Williams  Corey Davis and Westbrook

I don't expect JuJu to go anywhere near where people had him preseason, much like Jaelen Strong I think he'll drop to the third. The negatives on him are all apparent and he's had a pretty poor season overall, he had a 3 or 4 game stretch of good performances and that was pretty much it.

while i always thought juju was overrated, now that hes no longer being seen as a first rounder i think his stock is pretty much where it should be, mid 2nd-early 3rd, and i think he is as-advertised and has a chance to be solid in the nfl. id take him in the late 2nd depending on who else was available, mostly because i think he fits the mold of what we need. 

[RaineV1]

I think Ryan Switzer would be a good pickup in the mid rounds, since he's like Camp without the injury issues. I think he's actually more athletic than Camp, and would be an immediate help as a returner.

Corey Davis is really the only early round receiver I'd want. Him and Perriman on the outside could be a matchup nightmare. Though I think the Ravens' needs elsewhere are simply too great to pick him. Granted, I wouldn't be upset with him in the first.

USC hasn't produced any WRs lately, thats one thing to point out, another is that he's pretty overrated IMO. I don't think he's bad by any stretch but he's just not good enough to validate a 1st round pick IMO.

If we can steal Corey Davis in the 2nd rd.... Man I'll be jumping up and down with joy

You but I don't  get my  hopes up when it comes to big named wrs when we have a draft I can't  remember  when is the last time  We took a big name wide out

Recently- Woods, Lee, and Agholor. I think that was like 2012, 2014, and 2015. All high picks.

Love me some Isaiah Ford. Very explosive player that can get down the field or take a screen to the house. Mostly used on boundary type routes, but he can go up and snag a 50/50 ball and outbox a defender. 

[playlikeawhat]

Curtis Samuel isn't always listed as a pure receiver on prospect boards but I like what I've seen on video.  Any additional thoughts on him?  Upside/downside, etc?
