midget WR's aren't really a huge commodity. I dont see why they wouldnt come back. Maybe 1 would make a boneheaded choice, but i cant see both



A few recent 1st round WRs..

DeAndre Hopkins 6'1 214 lbs ran a 4.57 (1st round)
Justin Blackmon 6'1 210 lbs ran a 4.46 (1st round)
Michael Floyd 6'3 220 lbs ran a 4.47 (1st round)
Kendall Wright 5'10 196 lbs ran a 4.61 (1st round)
A.J Jenkins 6'0 190 lbs ran a 4.39 (1st round)

Odell Beckham Jr. 6'0 193 lbs
Jarvis Landry 6'1 195 lbs

If they both wanted they could easily get into the 205 range before the combine. There's a good history of productive WRs around their size getting drafted in the first or second round.

Yep, the NFL isn't as hung up on height as much these days. They still like the taller WRs, but are finding that guys who are shorter can be big time players.

He's crazy. Marqise Lee and Sammy Watkins will both be drafted in the top 2 rounds and they are both 6'1. Brandin Cooks will be a top 3 round WR.

11WRs went in the first 3 rounds earlier this year. Four were under 6ft and six were under 6'2.

Both Beckham and Landry are both sub 6'

Im not hating on them. They are really good players.


check the numbers of those other guys. None of those guys are midgets. those are their official heights. They were, for the most part, listed 2-3" more in college.

And just about all of them have way more production in college as Landry and Beckham. We'll see where they stand after this year, but i think staying the SR year could improve their draft stock.
