Devante Parker vs Kevin White

[frodo2003]

interested to see peoples thoughts on Devante Parker compared to Kevin White.
I know alot depends on their landing spots, but talent-wise who ya' taking?

I am trying to convince myself not to put Parker above Cooper. I think Parker will be my top WR going into the draft.

I guess I am the minority right now but White is my #1 WR at the moment. I love his hands and he makes incredible contested catches.

[nabright]

White definitely can make some tough catches, but can he run routes? I watched a quick YouTube video and he made some very nice catches. Just about every play was a deep ball though. I plan on doing a more in depth analysis down the road.

[clarion contrarion]

college wr that make too many contested catches worry me as the windows are much bigger in college and if a guy is covered all the time in college he may really struggle in the NFL. Personally like parker much better than white and I too struggle as to whether he will be better than cooper , right now it is a toss up.
If cooper ends up in NY as a jet and parker ends up in minnesota as I saw in a recent mock I would take parker .

Parker,White,Cooper.

What most impressed me about Parker os how quick he gets to top speed, and how quick he steps once ball is snapped. We've all sen him make great catches and run all the routes, but I was blown away at how fast he gets off the line.

If White can improve his first step and sharpen his routes, I think he's the #1. Contested catches, better hands of the three, and he just seems to have that my ball attitude. You can't teach that.

I feel the same way.

Except I already have Parker as my #1, both are probably going top 15 in the real nfl draft.

Parker.

I watched quite a bit of White this season and loved a lot of what I saw but it was a breakout year from JUCO and it was in Dana Holgorsen's offense where WR's don't seem to translate to the NFL. So I have some concerns there.

Parker meanwhile, pro-style offense, still had a dominant season without Teddy, which just adds support to his already impressive resume in my mind.

[breeze]

I think they are so close that instead of which is better, if your draft is prior to NFL draft you should draft "which is less likely to get drafted by the Chiefs". I think Parker is. I don't see him making it passed Vikings to reunite with Teddy

[Cameron Giles]

Parker is clearly more talented. I've been leaning Kevin White recently as I think he's improved a lot on his route running and just seems to make a ton of NFL WR plays, but it would be tough to pass on Parker. I think both will be very good

[ajmyk]

The big 3 established himself while Parker was sidelined, and when Parker returned and played well he was promoted as high as possible behind the almighty big 3.

I think that, come draft time, everybody is going to right their mind and put Parker where he deserves to be : #1 overall.

I have the 1.04 in one of my drafts so I hope I'm wrong.

Parker and Cooper are both... so... clean.

While I don't think either of them are physical marvels (though both are very respectable athletes) what really impresses me is that they both understand the game and the position and they both run uber-crisp routes. They've been my 1.01 and 1.02 for a while.

I have two major concerns about White:
1. His route running
2. His ability to gain separation

This is the one knock on White that I think puts him behind Parker and Cooper for me from the film that I have watched. Although I do like White's physical style more then Coopers, to me he looks like a mini-Dez when the ball is thrown anywhere near him.

[yooperbacker]

I think the combine will help separate the tiers. I wouldn't be surprised if White loses value. I don't think he is as big as his listing, and I don't see him separating from coverage with speed. He is more physical than Parker, but I believe that is out of necessity. Parker gets plenty of separation with quickness and speed.

[JoshGordonsDealer]

WRs who CAN be physically dominating but don't HAVE to be are usually the best kind. Watch some of Parker's "over-the-middle" tape. He's a tough guy.
