Top Wide Receivers in 2016 NFL draft

Top Wide Receivers in 2016 NFL draft

      1. Corey Coleman, Baylor – Coleman has elite athleticism, and is really great after the catch. The first

tackler only gets him 34% of the time. He scored the most touchdowns compared to the other top prospects. He’s good against contested catches. Overall, he has good hands, but he does drop the ball 8.6% of the time.

           2.  Josh Doctson, TCU – He has top level hands and ability to catch. He caught 74.7% of his targets which is 10% better than anyone else.  He has very good athleticism, second only to Coleman. He doesn’t have deep speed like Fuller and Coleman, but he does have short area quickness. He is good when double covered and good versus contested catches. He also doesn’t drop many balls. He had the second best statistical year with a 17 yard average and 1326 yards during his senior year even though he was injured part of it.

     3. Leonte Carroo, Rutgers – I like him a little better than Tredwell because he catches a high percentage of balls and drops less catchable balls. He also had a much longer average than Tredwell and is more athletic. He has some possible behavior flags though.

           4. Laquon Tredwell, Ole Miss– Not very athtlic and not that amazing statistics. He also only caught fifty percent of his targets. He has a long reach and makes some hard catches look easy though. He is good after the catch and good at catching contested balls. If he can catch a higher percentage, he can be very good.

      5. Tyler Boyd, PITT – He has good long speed and decent athleticism. He isn’t great versus contested catches and tends to go down easily in space. He does catch a high percentage of balls though. His senior average wasn’t good at 10.2, but his career numbers are better. he can also run the ball well.

            6. Will Fuller, Notre Dame – Top level speed. Very fast over the top. Not as quick in short spaces as Coleman though. He has problems with drops and doesn’t catch a high percentage of balls. He has small hands and doesn’t weight very much at 186lbs. He could be a good deep threat, but his catching issues could limit him. It seems like people are overrating him based on his 40 time.

           7.Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma – Gets pushed around some, but catches a high percentage of balls and doesn’t drop many of them. He’s also good when doubled, but not as good with contested catches. He’s shifty in space, but not an elite athlete.
