WR comparisons

So I've watched the Wisconsin game 3 times now and my perspective on the WRs is as follows: Travin Dural is obviously a deep threat like what I believed Miles envisioned Shepard being before he realized. His closest comparison is probably ODB jr..(not saying he's a 1st round pick, just a burner like Odell). It's too early to tell on Quinn, but that fact that he is getting significant playtime as a true fresh speaks volumes. His route running and understanding of creating space is superb for someone his age. Comparison is early doucet IMO. The little that I've seen of Diarse reminds me of Craig Davis. He doesn't have JR throwing to him and I'm not ready to compare him to Bowe or Randle but he looks like a good combo of physicality and hands. This seems to be the ceiling for these guys. Obviously, dupree, Leslie and Peterson remain to be seen. So far I'm satisfied with the receivers.

It may be wishful thinking but I'm just trying to grasp how good these guys can be.

Quinn looks an awful lot like Jarvis Landry to me. I know it's weak because of back to back years, but his route running is superb and he will be making freakish catches in a couple of years.
Diarse looks more like Early to me.

I could see the diarse/early thing too. But that TD that apparently he's watched 100 times displays some pretty bad arse strength

First off, I normally hate these comparisons, but I'm bored.
Diarse looks just like Early to me. Not a natural receiver but more of a super athlete, runs like a running back, big and strong, strong hands, etc.
Quinn and Jarvis is pretty good, but Jarvis had GOAT hands for an LSU WR, can't expect anything like that, and Quinn is bigger and faster. Not really sure on this one.
Dural really reminds me of D.Byrd. A burner and constant deep threat (seems clutch too).
ETA:
Who knows if any of them will be as good though for as long of a period of time.

Comparisons are hard to do bc LSU has had such a great mixture of talented WRs over the past decade. One thing that stands out is that no one compares to Josh Reed

Dural=D. Henderson
Quinn=J Reed
Diarse=Landry
