Wide Receivers

No. 5 – A.J. Brown – Ole Miss

Ole Miss has the best trio of wide receivers in college football….ever. I don’t actually know if that’s true or not, but it’s the best I’ve ever seen. A.J. Brown leads the trio in terms of production. With over 2,000 career receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns, he’s a well-oiled machine. He has great strength for the position with above average size and speed. The biggest issue with Brown is his poor play against better teams. Most of his gaudy numbers came against the Southern Illinois and South Alabama’s of the world.

No. 4 – Kelvin Harmon – North Carolina State

Harmon has an NFL skill-set. He’s understands what he’s doing in his routes, and he runs them crisply. He doesn’t have elite speed but gets natural separation, and excels win the balls in the air. Good size at 6-foot-3. The only reason Harmon is No. 4 as of right now is the lack of production I was expecting. Harmon was set-up to have a phenomenal season and hasn’t lived up to the hype yet, having only reached the end zone once thus far.

No. 3 – Deebo Samuel – South Carolina

The best route runner in the class, with the best splash for spectacular catches, Deebo Samuel is a prototypical Z receiver. You can line him up anywhere, and ask him to run any route. He won’t ever be the go to guy when you need yards and have no choice but to throw it up, but he will be your go to guy on every other play. Doesn’t have blazing speed, but in the right scheme, he should be able to get the job done down the field.

No. 2 – N’Keal Harry – Arizona State

One of my favorite prospects in the draft, Harry is just a polarizing player. Great size at 6-foot-4, 213, with adequate speed. Harry can play above the rim, or make his own yards after the catch. He’s incredibly strong and has an alpha male mentality that means if you need five yards, he will get you five yards. Just put the ball in his hands.

No. 1 – D.K. Metcalf – Ole Miss

WR1 was built in Madden’s “Create-A-Player” mode, and you can’t change my mind. 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, with legit 4.3 speed. Metcalf has the physical tools comparable to Calvin Johnson. I understand that Metcalf isn’t the same level of prospect; he runs very basic routes and sturggles with easy drops, but from a simple Height/Weight/Speed perspective, Metcalf has Megatron level abilities.
