Is "All of them" an acceptable answer? This class is insane

Yeah, mullen's list is pretty good. Jarvis Landry needs to be on there for sure though, he's really stepped up as his role in the Dolphins offense has increased (and as Brian Hartline has started to fall off).

Very curious where Cody Latimer, Paul Richardson, and Kevin Norwood end up on this list. And nobody has even mentioned Marqise Lee, which is understandable since it's basically a lost season for him, but crazy for a guy who before his senior year was projected as a possible top-10 pick.

I don't even know what this means.

Evans is 1, but Watkins and Benjamin are great too. There are about 15 WR making a mark already. This is the GOAT WR class.

quite a rookie class indeed.

Anyone that has Evans outside the top 2 has probably not seen him play.

OBJ will be the best of the bunch imo. Ridiculous hands, great route running (see his toasting of Sherman on the double move with ease), and my eye test tells me he just plays at a different speed.

Evans is good, but his ceiling is basically better Vincent Jackson, no? He balled out today but the Skins played some loltastic defense. One TD he ran a 9 route against a bracket and the safety just forgot to cover him. The other one he beat a LB in man coverage.

1. Odell
2. Watkins
3. Evans
4. Benjamin

it means that those are the three worst WR of the 10 we are rating which are listed in the OP:

Based on draft order:
Sammy Watkins
Mike Evans
Odell Beckham Jr.
Brandin Cooks
Kelvin Benjamin
Jordan Matthews
Davante Adams
Allen Robinson
John Brown
Martavis Bryant

Rank them going forward.

Mine:
1. Watkins - has been a beast when healthy with garbage qbs

2. Beckham - most versatile and complete imo. Kills it when inside or outside.

3. Kelvin - probably the highest ceiling. Hard to gauge because Cam overthrows him 6 times a game but he also has 2 brutal drops a game. Still putting up sick numbers

4. Bryant
5. Evans
6. Robinson
7. Matthews - Making Sanchize look good even for one game should probably put him higher
8. Brown
9. Cooks
10. Adams

last two guys have been good but anyone would be with Rodgers and Brees probably so I'll hold that against them.

OBJ is fine, but I feel like he is getting severely overrated for popping up midseason and contributing. Feels like he has the most bust potential of the bunch compared to current perceptions.

I see. Allen Robinson was becoming a monster before he got injured. That guy is going to be very good.

I still think Bortles can become a quality starter.

Bortles will be a top 10 starter in the NFL for a solid 5-10 years imo.

I don't think it's very likely any of them will be busts (barring injury issues of course). I assume we are just talking OBJ, Evans, Watkins, Kelvin. Some other guys on the list have way higher % bust rate than OBJ imo.

Beckham eye tests off the charts, does most everything well and has incredible hands. Dude goes up and gets the ball super well for a guy his size too. He's a lock star WR if he stays healthy.

Wow really? If we sortedbybustpotential I'd put Odell at the bottom of the list - as in, has one of the highest floors. Steps in midseason after missing most of preseason, instantly torches one of the best CBs in the league, has ridiculous ball skills/route running - just not seeing a scenario where he doesn't have at least a lengthy career as a WR2.

Yeah if anything I think Beckhams ceiling is lower than Watkins and Kelvin but his floor is probably higher.

and people saying this is exactly what makes his bust potential compared to current perceptions quite high.

Well, sure, but "didn't live up to high expectations" and "is a bust" don't necessarily overlap.

Like, if he becomes Brandon Lloyd it would be pretty silly to call him a bust.
