DCOrange Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/29400333/ranking-nfl-best-wide-receivers-2020-execs-players-coaches-debate-top-10 Figured this one could potentially drive some discussion as we finally have a player worthy of being considered for one of these articles. The top 10 according to the 50 league personnel panel ESPN is using (followed by their highest and lowest ranking) Julio Jones - 1st - 7th Michael Thomas - 1st - 6th DeAndre Hopkins - 1st - 6th Odell Beckham - 1st - 10th Tyreek Hill - 3rd - 11th Mike Evans - 1st - 12th DaVante Adams - 1st - 12th Keenan Allen - 2nd - 10th Chris Godwin - 4th - unranked Amari Cooper - 5th - unranked Honorable Mentions: Stefon Diggs - ""Would go to battle with Diggs all day. Dude is a beast. And he has that No. 1 WR dog to him. I love that." -- NFL offensive assistant; "He could have a career year in Buffalo by the way they will use him. He's a true No. 1 but he seems constantly unhappy and frustrated." -- another NFL assistant" Adam Thielen Kenny Golladay AJ Green Courtland Sutton 1
Kirby Jackson Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I’d have Cooper lower. I just think he’s overrated. Diggs or Golladay would be there for me. I think I’d probably go with Golladay. 6
Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Tyreek is a good player but he benefits immensely from Mahomes. Look at his stats before Mahomes. His sophomore season was basically John Brown last year. Then Mahomes arrives and his numbers explode. I would put Evans ahead of Hill and Beckham, but OBJ could have a bounce back year. 1

Doc Brown Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Antonio Brown would be #4 if he wasn't a headcase. I'd put Godwin, Diggs, Golliday, and Cooper in the same tier. 1 1

No, he meant an equal tier. I disagree a bit. Godwin is above all of them, and if Cooper continues to play the way he has been he's above Diggs and Golliday too. Diggs is a very nice player, but I think I'd take Theilen over him

machine gun kelly Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Evans and Godwin, not #1 but as a tandem as ask yourself, Gronk (healthy), Brate, and Howard? How can a person not say they have the best crew (except RB and agreed there) to wreak havoc on other teams? We’ll see. 1
JP's Voice Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Cooper is extremely overrated. He's a top 25 WR and that's about as high as I'd rank him. 4 1
Big Blitz Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 The "actual" list: 1. Nuke 2. Thomas 3. Evans 4. Hill 5. Julio 6. Allen 7. Adams 8. OBJ 9. Diggs 10. Golladay You can move 6-10 however you want. But 1-5 is correct. 1
Doc Brown Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Just now, BullBuchanan said: No, he meant an equal tier. I disagree a bit. Godwin is above all of them, and if Cooper continues to play the way he has been he's above Diggs and Golliday too. Diggs is a very nice player, but I think I'd take Theilen over him Godwin benefits with them focusing on Evans and Cooper lacks consistency. Especially on the road. It'll be interesting to see how Thielen does this year without Diggs drawing the other team's best CB.

His sophomore season was basically John Brown last year. Then Mahomes arrives and his numbers explode. I would put Evans ahead of Hill and Beckham, but OBJ could have a bounce back year. He made check down king alex smith the best deep passer in the game. "Smith, who had the best season of his career with over 4,000 yards passing, 26 touchdowns and only five interceptions in 2017, was the NFL's most accurate deep passer in 2017 according to Pro Football Focus". He had 1200 yards with smith on like 75 catches and i dont even think he was a full time wr. I think there is a good argument for him being the most valuable in the game. With his hands, speed and jumping pure talent julio is number 1 but tyreek can do it all and affects the d more than other dudes. 1 1
GoBills808 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Hopkins Thomas Hill Beckham Jr Evans Jones Adams Golladay Moore Allen
GunnerBill Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Thomas Evans Hopkins Jones Hill Beckham That is the top 6 in some order the above is how I rank them. Then I go: Adams Diggs Sutton Golladay With Theilen just missing out. Edited July 10, 2020 by GunnerBill 1
Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Tyreek Hill has to be the hardest WR to cover in the NFL. 1
GoBills808 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Yeah and I might replace Keenan Allen w Diggs tbh

I think I’d probably go with Golladay. I remember watching some replays of Cooper last year where he looked absolutely disinterested. Lack of effort, bad body language, etc. I’m not sure what was happening there but somebody put together film to point it out and there was something going on.
