2014 receiving corps

With Beckham and Landry almost certainly gone and no significant go-to target besides them, the receiving corps is a question mark going into 2014. Who do we think is going to play what position?
The only thing I can really figure with much certainty is that Travin Dural takes Odell Beckham's spot as the X receiver. I think Quantavius Leslie takes the Y spot, with his speed and height he could be able to create some mismatches against opponents' nickel DB. But I'm not sure who would play Z in place of Landry. Avery Peterson? John Diarse?
I know we've got some sick freshmen that are coming in/expected to come in and play, but I don't want to look at them much yet because we've got plenty of guys on the roster and they haven't signed with LSU just yet.

Noil will get serious PT if he signs. Dupre as well.
I would assume Dural and Leslie are your top two with Noil, Dupre, Peterson, and Diarse fighting for PT. By seasons end I would bet Noil would establish himself as #3.

This next year is as much of an unknown as any I can remember...
Literally all the passes went to Odell and Jarvis this season. Plus Boone and wright gone. What are we returning 200 yds receiving and a TD from our WR core
Plenty of potential, just don't really know anything about them outside of dural. We have Leslie diarse and Peterson, plus incoming studs... It will be interesting
My guess as if now dural and Leslie/Peterson outside w diarse in slot. Malachi and Quinn compete for outside spot opposite dural and speedy competes w diarse for slot

The correct answer is nobody knows what the receiving corp will look like next year until all the freshmen are on campus. Bottom line is Quinn, Noil and Dupre might be the most talented guys o ncampus at WR but Dural, Diarse and Peterson will have a lot to say about playing time.
Count me out of the Leslie sweepstakes, we bring in JUCO guys to play right away and if you cant, chances are you wont in your short career here.

We have zero proven receivers going into next season, including Dural who had less than 10 catches all year if I recall. We'll have to wait and see but the talent is there so I'm sure someone will step up.

This might be one of the things weighing in on Noil's decision. WR is going to be wide open next season (no pun intended). Really wish Avery gets it going because we could use him.

I expect Diarse to have an impact.

Dural will be solid - he's got some big shoes to fill though
QL - glad we finally get some height. Look at Bama's receiving corp the last few years - all tall (JJones, Amari Cooper, etc etc etc.). It really helped them in their 2 mins offense as well.
