Let's try this out:
Dhaquille vs. Dupre- very similar athletic ability and measurable, but Dupre has a better attitude and may be more coachable. Slight advantage Williams.
Beckham vs. Quinn- similar size and ability, Quinn may be slightly faster and probably with better hands. Advantage Quinn.
Jarvis vs. Speedy- both playmakers, but speedy has more gamebreaking ability with that outstanding speed. Even.
These comparisons may be a tad bit optimistic, but that's the whole point right? I give Williams the slight advantage because he is just that good right now. However, I believe Malachi will be a better overall receiving threat than Williams by the time he is in year three. His leaping ability on that 6"3 frame is impossible to defend if the ball is placed where it needs to be.
But Williams is special and Les should do whatever he needs to do get him in this class: LINK

Good post.
I also go with Quinn, Dupre and Noil though I feel the other 3 are the more talented group. Williams may never see a college campus and Beckham has been a disapointment as a wr. Landry is #1 of all the guys for me. Can't teach his hands and innate ability to get open even with only fairly average size and speed.
As for Blacknall, I posted in a thread earlier this week that I'd take him before any of this years instate group at WR. He's the peffect combination of everything you look for in a wr. Doesn't mean I want him more or any of the others less just that I think he's the guy I'd take first based on his skill combination
Also agree with the ezrules about Blacknall not effecting any of the big 3 instate. Those 3 have spots regardless. Blacknall only effects Williams and possibly Upchurch. More likely a fringe guy at another position. Like a 3rd RB, 4th OL, one of the DL spots or maybe an extra DB. We're gonna take 5 wrs as long as everything goes as it should. I think that's a good thing. Our wr group gets awfully shallow when Beckham, Landry and Leslie leave town. Diarse and Dural are the only ones I trust. Love Avery Johnson's potential but have no faith that he'll ever put it together.
