No doubt I like them both, but Thomas is the consensus. The results clearly show Boyd doesn't have breakaway speed running without pads, I'm a little lower on Shepard than Thomas because Beckham Jr. is such a stud. In my opinion, this class is not great, and the comparison and team situation is like comparing Colston to Randle.

Have to go with sheppard. In a Ben Mcadoo offense is taking over the Randall Cobb/Victor Cruz role. Victor Cruz is a shell of him self after he tore his patellar tendon. The list of guys who got back even 80% of their explosiveness doesn't exist. Worse injury than even an achilles. 60-80 receptions are guaranteed. With any receiver the saints draft its wait and see. In a fast paced, complicated system you have to see if a guy is dedicated enough to really get much playing time year 1 and sometimes year 2.
