So I give us 6-10

Well, except for the fact that Torry Holt hasn't played football in about a half of a decade.

Roughly at 12th for me, some of these I was lenient on for playing with an elite QB, but production is production. One I didn't include but think could jump them this year is Philly.

Let's just take ATL for example since a few people mentioned them.

Julio Jones vs. A.J. Green - toss up IMO Jones had an excellent 2014 for being on a crap team, but A.J. has done it more consistently and remained healthier in his career
Roddy White vs. MLJ - Roddy gets it for raw talent and his career, but he's definitely on the downswing of his NFL lifeline and MLJ is just beginning his journey with a solid 2013 campaign in the books. I think it's realistically closer than most people would have it, but it'd be too homerish to claim anything but Roddy > MLJ.
Leonard Hankerson vs. Sanu - I'll use the same argument that I saw people used to use for Harry Douglas when they'd rate ATL over CIN in WRs a year or two ago on the mothership. While he wasn't an amazing receiver last year, Sanu proved he could step it up in a bigger role if absolutely necessary. That immediately gets Sanu the win without even mentioning that he's clearly a better #3 option regardless of his ability to step up in a higher role.

Now, is Sanu enough better than Hankerson that closes the gap between White/MLJ at this point of their respective careers? I don't know. I do think having a deep receiving corp is very underrated by a lot of people, as having many solid options for a QB is obviously a great "problem" to have. It may be the homer in me speaking right now, but I believe our group of guys could be argued over ATL right now depending on how you value depth.

You have to factor in the injury issue that Jones is going through right now too. He has only played one year where he was healthy. If I remember correctly he had an ankle injury his rookie year too. White has had a few rough spots the last few years, but it's been nothing like Jones.

We have never seen AJ, Jones, Sanu and Eifert healthy for a whole season together and we are never ever healthy at WR in the play-offs.

(07-17-2015, 10:36 AM)djs7685 Wrote: I believe Sanu is a much better WR3 than Hankerson though. It's a pretty wide margin from what we've seen of their professional careers thus far even though Sanu has the dropsies.

I don't know about statistically speaking, but I've never seen Roddy White look as bad as the guy I watched on the field for the last 2 seasons. He's been on quite the decline, BUT he was so good that declining a bit still makes him a good receiver, I won't deny that. I absolutely believe Roddy White > MLJ, I just don't know if it's as big of a gap as people want to say, especially if we see 2013 MLJ and 2013/2014 White both show up this coming year. Injury is definitely a factor as well.

A.J. >= Julio
MLJ < White
Sanu >> Hankerson

I think it's definitely debatable, especially depending on how much you weigh depth and your opinion of the current versions of the #2 receivers. I was very impressed watching Marvin in 2013, stats aside the kid just looked great. I hope he can keep it up.
