Opinions may vary but this my top 5 (7) receivers list of who I think are the best receivers in the draft class. I've watched a few hours of film these receivers and have come to the conclusion this.
My WR Rankings:
1. Josh Doctson
Great range, amazing hands, and decent route running. I liked his ability to make hard catches and also have a larger range than credited.
2. Laquon Treadwell
Someone who could remind you of a bigger and a bit smaller A.J. Green. I also thought his range was nice and he had decent hands and ok route running. He won't beat you with speed but his ability to win with height, range (like A.J.) and strength.
3. Sterling Shepard
One of my favorite players from the draft, from what I watched, he mostly lined up in the slot. I thought he looked very fluent and everything seemed amazing about him. I would've had ashim higher if he were to be lined up on the outside more. He has potential to be the best slot receiver in the game.
4. Michael Thomas
Someone who when I first watched highlights, didn't like much at all. After watching more tape, I liked how he was able to beat with his strength and great route running. He also has good hands and seemed reliable, not a speed guy but more of a Anquan Boldin type receiver.
5. Corey Coleman
When watching Corey Coleman's tape, I saw that he ran only a few routes. He ran a lot of streaks, post, etc. He has average hands at best and has speed. He relies on his speed to win matches and run past DBs. I do like his potential though, to be like a Antonio Brown type.
