I don't think anyone thinks Simpson is a #1 Torrey smith and smelter will be the top dogs...I think grabbing a player like Thomas or fuller in the 2nd would be nice. Minus Treadwell I don't see any real studs at WR in this draft. FA is always a option as well for WR.
Buckner is a beast I'd be happy with him.
IMO this class WR studs are Boyd and Doctson.
Pass on Boyd doctson is pretty good but I think he just got hurt?
Treadwell is #1 IMO he reminds me of Dez...as long as he stays healthy he will be a fine wr.
Living in Mississippi, I've watch Treadwell a ton and he is no Dez NY. I would compare him more to Alshon Jeffrey, which isn't a bad comparison, but I consider Dez the most athletic WR in the NFL. Treadwell doesn't separate as well, but his size makes up for that. I'll take Treadwell, but I could pas on him in the first for another stud player and go after Boyd or Dotson.
Thanks for the input
I don't get to watch him as much as you that's for sure...but from what I've seen he seems a lot faster than Jeffrey.
OH and I think OBJ and Julio Jones would have something to say about being the most athletic WR in the NFL
Here's what CBS sports said about Treadwell:
STRENGTHS: One of the most physically gifted receivers at the college level even when he was a freshman. Even when covered, he's not covered due to his size, hand strength and catching radius to physically dominate defensive backs. Treadwell always picks up more yardage than he should after the catch due to his power and athleticism
WEAKNESSES: Recovered from gruesome knee injury in 2014, but pre-draft medical checks will be key to final grade with many teams. Although he won't be a receiver who consistently creates separation, he doesn't need to with his body control and ballskills.
COMPARES TO: Dez Bryant, Cowboys - Treadwell shows a Bryant-like skillset with his size and athleticism combination to be a mismatch against cornerbacks on the outside.
