It's between him and Reed for me, personally.

This. It's been awesome to see him evolve from a head hunter on kickoffs as a freshman to where he is now where he runs incredible routes and catches literally EVERYTHING you throw at him regardless of down or distance. And I haven't even mentioned that watching him block on run plays and short passes has been maybe my favorite part. He's the kind of guy that will do anything a team asks to win and will do it all exceptionally.

Again, I have always thought of Rice as faster but not the phenomenal hands... great hands in the clutch but not quite phenomenal.


YAC was invented because Jerry Rice turned screen plays into 80 yard touchdowns, basically. I don't know that you can't call him blazing, but he was definitely as agile a guy as has ever played the game.

You do realize Juice would have to do about 20 years of other-worldly NFL production to not make you look like a homer slapdick right?

Is there absolutely any chance that the saints could get Jarvis?

Oh how I would love to see Drew throwing Jarvis. That would be a match made in heaven.

The list is off IMO leaving off Doriel-Green Beckham and Davante Adams.

Lee should be a little higher, Bell shouldn't be on here, Abbrederis is too high, Matthews is top 3, Landry should be ahead of Odell, Odell is not #1, Brandon Cooks is too high, Kelvin Benjamin is way too low.

That being said he is a QB's dream wr. Can get open and has hands.


IMO both he and Beckham are first round talent, but Landry is perfect for a Chiefs or Pittsburgh system. Beckham would do great with the Redskins, Browns, and Rams.

Landry,landry,Landry ! The best,no doubt. I remember when he was on the kick off team and in one game (Auburn I think ) he literally crushed a guy. They had to drag the guy off the field by his heels.

Beckham has some of the premier hands in the game. The junior catches the ball away from his body, rarely drops passes and is capable of climbing the ladder to make outstanding grabs without the benefit of tucking the ball against his frame.
I think they are placing too much value on his end zone kickoff grabs.

I really have trouble grading his hands much above average. His speed, athleticism, and route running are his strengths... not even too sure about route running since he is so fast.

Odell takes too much shite for his hands. he's not Jarvis with some of the highlight reel stuff (though he's made some nice grabs of his own), but he catches the vast majority of what's thrown his way. he's a lot better than what he was the first half or so of 2012.

amazing how the narrative has changed on our WRs. after last yr you'd have thought we had a bunch of 5'9" guys who ran 4.7s.

THey are technically tied if you look at his points system.

I guess you give the knod to speed.

I don't think saying that he has average to above average hands (for a receiver) is putting him down. Can you honestly say that the statements "Beckham has some of the premier hands in the game." or that he "rarely" drops passes are true?

He's gotten better in the last 3 games or so, but you can't totally erase the rest of his career.
