Which LSU WR Corps was the most talented since 2000?

I just did from 2000 to the present. This list is for most talented wr’s on teams together. Some may not belong on here and some are listed before or after their better seasons. Example: Beckham Jr and Landry were listed on their freshman years team and not their junior year because of the talent of the other WRs on that team. I listed the round they were drafted but not the year. I also didn’t list their class at the time of their appearance on each time.
This is on chronological order, not rankings of best to worst.
2001-2002
Josh Reed- 2nd Rd
Micheal Clayton- 1st Rd
Skyler Green- 4th Rd
*Jerel Myers (great freshman year. Freshman All-American. Nothing of note afterwards)
* Devery Henderson- 2nd Rd (was a RB that year)
*Bennie Brazell (Drafted in 7th RD. Never played in NFL)
2005-2006
Dwayne Bowe- 1st Rd
Early Doucet- 3rd Rd
Craig Davis- 1st Rd
Brandon Lafell- 3rd Rd
Skyler Green- 4th Rd
*Bennie Brazell- 7th Rd (Drafted but didn’t make a team)
2006-2007
Brandon Lafell - 3rd Rd
Dwayne Bowe- 1st Rd
Early Doucet- 3rd Rd
Craig Davis- 1st Rd
Trindon Holliday-6th Rd
2011-2012
Reuben Randle- 2nd Rd
Odell Beckham Jr- 1st Rd
Jarvis Landry- 2nd Rd
Russell Shepard- Undrafted but is still currently playing in the NFL
*James Wright- 7th Rd (played in NFL some) not productive in college
2019-2020 Remains to be seen
(I listed more than other years since we don’t know how everyone will end up.)
Justin Jefferson
Ja’Marr Chase
Terrace Marshall Jr
Stephen Sullivan
Derrick Dillon
Trey Palmer
Devonta Lee
Jontre Kirklin
Tracey McMath
I probably made a bunch of mistakes but feel free to point out what is incorrect. Or if I left out better years with more WR talent.

This year’s is probably the deepest. Forgot to mention Kadron Boone on that 2011 list he was a pretty good WR for us. Honestly my favorite was probably ‘01 because it had all of the guys from the 03 team just substituting a freshman Dwayne Bowe for Josh Reed.

How did we not get pass midfield with all those future-NFL receivers in the NC??
Posted on 9/23/19 at 12:11 am to Surv1vor1st
We hadn’t discovered the forward pass yet

The 2 most prolific were true freshmen and were nowhere near their college prime
And a terrible game plan to go with it

This one also had 2-3 STUDS that transferred very quickly. I want to say it was Bowe, Davis, Amp, and Lavelle Hawkins all in the same class.

Forgot about Hawkins. Didn't he transfer to Cal?
Posted on 9/23/19 at 12:47 am to lsudave1
I almost listen Boone.

Because Miles didn't like throwing the ball, and when he did Jefferson wasn't getting much time. There were some guys open on deep routes but Jefferson couldn't get the ball to them. Oline sucked that night, play calling was predictable and Jefferson was a poor passer.

Yes and balled out. I couldn’t remember Amp’s last name.
ETA: It was Hill.

11/12. Three of those guys were/are Legitimate NFL contributiors.

Amp Hill had a ridiculous high school highlight video. I was super pumped about him. Xavier Carter was apart of that class. But I think Shawn Jordan had the best high school film from what I remembered.

Either '06 or this year. '06 was the last time we had 3 elite wide receivers on the field at the same time. Running Bowe, Davis, and Doucet out there was special. I think Jefferson, Chase, and Marshall are just as talented and will all be drafted fairly high. 2011-13 with OBJ and Landry is probably the most talented but not as deep as '06 or '19. Having 3 top level college receivers on the field at the same time is awesome.

Bowe, Davis and Amp were in the 03 class. 04 was Early, X Carter and Hawkins. Hawkins went back home to Cali before the season. He was on the roster on PlayStation though, I used to kill with all that talent lol

I’m going to go with 01-02 I’m biased though lol..
Posted on 9/23/19 at 6:49 am to Soup Sammich
This one has potential to be GOAT
Posted on 9/23/19 at 7:13 am to Soup Sammich
I'll take bowe/doucet/davis/lafell/green but that 01-02 group is definitely my favorite
