| 12th February, 2009 - 1:40 pm | Jeff Risdon/RealGM - This is a group that has a clear-cut #1 in Michael Crabtree, followed by several players that could be ranked based more on team preference than any actual differentiation of "Who's Better."
That cluster extends from Hakeem Nicks down through Jeremy Maclin, with another similar cluster starting at Brian Robiskie and extending down through Jarrett Dillard. It would not surprise me at all if a couple of the guys I've rated 16-20 wind up having better careers than any of the 10 players I've ranked above them either. Some in the "others" category have big upsides and could blossom with good coaching and strong supporting casts.
Most NFL scouts don't see much in the way of a true #1 wide receiver, but a depth of players who can readily contribute as a #2, in the slot, or as a red zone target. Many of these players bring added value as a return specialist, but I've tried to downplay that impact and give far greater emphasis to playing wide receiver.
