*POLL* Ardarius Stewart vs Josh Malone vs Chad Hansen

[lukkynumber13]

3 very different prospects, but I gotta admit I'm growing to be very interested in A. Stewart.

I'm no expert on watching college WR film, why is he so buried? Too much of a niche player?

Based on my perception of what people seem to think, Hansen will run away with this poll and he was ultimately my choice... that said I have all 3 of these guys ranked pretty close. I have a tier difference between Hansen and then Malone and Stewart, but with Hansen at the back end of one tier and both Malone and Stewart near the top of theirs it is still a very fair question to me.

I'm extremely high on Stewart and I hope he falls to my 3.01 pick. Alabama started a true freshman QB, and Stewart was their leading WR. He may not have the elite traits like his predecessors (Jones & Cooper). But everything I see suggests he's an extremely well rounded WR. Runs excellent routes, sub 4.5 40yd, strong at over 200lbs, blocks extemely well, can get YAC. I see the potential for a solid WR2.

I'm really intrigued by Malone too although he may have a little more developing. I don't know much about Hansen yet.

Stewart, Malone, Reynolds & Zamora are guys I'm hoping to get between the 3rd & 6th rounds. I'm even half tempted to draft Noah Brown. I thought he was criminally underutilized at OSU.

Where would Amara Darboh be in relation to these other 3?

I still like Stewart a little better than the rest. I think Darboh & Malone are very similar. Hansen? Just not sure, haven't had a chance to see his tape. Malone could have a tad more upside depending on who drafts him. But, Darboh is better than people may think and is going to work his bleep off.

I have Darboh 1 spot ahead of Hansen, but I also think he has the lowest ceiling out of the 4 players so I probably would not take him where I have him ranked and would instead reach for a higher upside player. He is ranked higher because I can see a clear role for him (and a higher floor) in the NFL as an NFL WR3 possession type guy potentially works his way into a WR2 role, but his lack of consistent separation and tenancy to let the ball get in on him hold him back from the upside his good measurables suggest.

The other poster mentioned Reynolds, and for me he is easily the most under-rated player in this draft from everything I am reading! He does have clear weaknesses in his lack of strength and occasional concentration lapses, but I think he has NFL WR1 ability. I have been waiting to see what the NFL thinks about him before strongly planting my flag (lesson learned from the other Mike Thomas), but he is in an entirely different category than the rest of these guys in my rankings.

I am also intrigued by Zamora because of his upside, and want to see exactly where he ends up (his off field issues should be factored in to his draft position or lack of draft position). Depending on where he goes, he might be the guy I would gamble on for upside out of the 4 WRs (excluding Reynolds because I have him so much higher).

I would now say:

Stewart, followed closely by Hansen.

Malone waaaaay behind

Just got Reynolds at 6.11 in a deep IDP league!

Give me Stewart at this point. I'm contemplating taking him with my 2.10. He plays WR angry. His aggressiveness reminds me of Steve Smith
