I don't think he would be rated highly at all compared to some of the recent WR heavy drafts.CK_ wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 11:00 am I know this is 2 sides of the spectrum but where would Corey be rated if he was in the stacked 2014 class and the currently weak 2016 class pre-draft? Since this class is rated as RB heavy it's interesting to me how he would be looked at in a stronger and in a weaker class in recent memory. I like him a lot but no workouts and surgery can be concerning.
He's similar to Corey Coleman to me. A solid prospect that will likely be a mid 1st round NFL pick that is getting extra hype because of the lack of really elite WR prospects this year defaulting him to the top of this year's list.
But he's not a Cooper/White/Evans/Watkins/Blackmon/AJG/Julio type prospect.
The first WR will probably go off the board at 10 or later this year in the NFL draft despite there being some extremely WR barren teams in the top 10 that will likely be passing on them. Dating back to 2011 every year except last year has had at least one WR go earlier than that, and all but two of those years have had multiple WRs go earlier than that, often to teams that didn't really even need a WR that badly.
This year is awesome for RBs at the top, awesome for RB depth, awesome for WR depth, awesome for TEs at the top, and awesome for TE depth. QBs (at the top and depth) and WRs at the top are decidedly average compared to similar spots in most recent years.
