DCOrange Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2020/insider/story/_/id/28807973/wide-receiver-tiers-2020-nfl-draft-scouts-help-us-rank-loaded-class ESPN put out an article where they polled scouts, pro personnel guys, GMs, coaches, etc. to rank WRs into tiers for the draft. Happy to give the low down on specific guys as requested, but here's the tiers and where they think these guys line up best (names are listed in order of ranking within each tier). Tier 1 - Top 10 picks Jerry Jeudy - best in the slot but can play outside Tier 2 - Top 15 picks CeeDee Lamb - can line up anywhere Tier 3 - Top 40 picks Henry Ruggs - profile suggests he can play in the slot, will need to work on releases against press Justin Jefferson - will likely start in the slot but can play outside Tee Higgins - best outside but has some experience in the slot Michael Pittman Jr. - purely outside Laviska Shenault - anywhere Denzel Mims - purely outside Tier 4 - Top 100 picks Brandon Aiyuk - best outside KJ Hamler - purely slot Jalen Reagor - best in the slot Van Jefferson - best in the slot but can play outside Devin Duverney - purely slot Quintez Cephus - probably outside, but may need to be motioned around to help him create separation Chase Claypool - purely outside KJ Hill - can play in the slot or outside Donovan Peoples-Jones - probably start in the slot with potential to move outside 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Wild Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Lets double down... Justin Jefferson and Chase Claypool. Josh Brown, Cole Beasley, Justin Jefferson, Chase Claypool, Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary and a 4-5 round RB. If Josh cant do it with these weapons then we will know. But man that is a lot of weapons to have fun with. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpsuit Jim Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So many targets within range of multiple picks. Is this how Rex feels at Old Country Buffet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jletha Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I would love a tackle r potentially edge rusher in Rd 1 at 22 and then a trade up in to the 2nd round for one of the tier 3 guys. Edited March 10, 2020 by jletha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 My personal takeaways: A little surprised to see Ruggs in Tier 3, though there's a lot of space between Tier 2 and 3 so maybe he's comfortably ahead of the other Tier 3 guys A little surprised to see Pittman in Tier 3 just because it's felt like everyone has been sleeping on him Surprised that Cephus is ahead of Claypool, Hill, and DPJ after the Combine he had. A 4.73 40 is pretty much undraftable for me. No Bryan Edwards surprises me (he gets a shoutout in the "best of the rest" section but that's it) I wonder if there's much separation between Aiyuk/Hamler/Reagor and the rest of Tier 4. Feels like there should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 So these guys do everything in their power to make sure no one knows what they think about players, and cause a ton of smoke around players they dont want but we all expect they tell the truth when anonymous? I dont think so. Even under anonymity none of these guys want press out there about what guys they think will go where. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value has dropped and I would like him in the second now, not in the first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the Bills are probably near the top of his range so he’d make more in theory I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven233 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I am really hoping the Bills come out of the draft with 2 of the guys on this list. So much talent. Now's the time to double down and try and solidify the WR position for years to come. If it's me, I'm taking a WR with 2 of my first 3 or 4 picks depending on how things fall and am really happy with things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said something about Allen being a dog and that he'd love to play for a QB with that kind of fight in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in having all these weapons if he doesn't have the time to get them the ball. There are some good options in FA. Highly unlikely that a rookie is going to come in and make a big difference on the O-line, especially at tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
