    I've watched every player who's probably listed in the top 3-4 rnds on most boards. That said, I always disagree with a lot of players. Collins is a good example. I don't have him as a first rnd pick while a lot of boards have him as a top 10-15 player. He can sure fly up but he does a lot more hitting than wrap up tackling and that will kill you at the next level. He's not great in coverage and he's a bit flat footed playing centerfield. So for me, there is a lot of cleaning up...better man, better zone, better tackling and that's not what I look for in a top 15 pick. Maybe he turns into an Eric Berry with some good coaching and development...but maybe not.

    Scherff is pretty good but he's not a top 10 tackle for me.

    I didn't like the Senior Bowl because a lot of my favorite players who most people had as 3-5th rnd picks are suddenly lighting it up and being talked about as high as rnd 2. Makes me glad to know some of my values are confirmed but mad that now we can't get a Walford or Dorsett in the middle rounds.

    Antonio Brown - 6th round, pick 195
    Emmanuel Sanders - 3rd round, pick 82
    TY Hilton - 3rd round, pick 92
    Dez Bryant - 1st round, pick 24
    Jeremy Maclin - 1st round, pick 19
    Odell Beckham Jr - 1st round, pick 12

    I'm not arguing that a smaller receiver can't have success, clearly they can. My point is where you draft them, the first three guys are mid and late round picks which is appropriate. Dez is basically a RB playing WR and Beckham is put together really well for 5'11". Maclin is nothing special in my eyes, I think he was drafted far too high, but that's my opinion.

    If Cooper played at San Diego St., for instance, nobody would be projecting him as a top 5 pick, nobody. He benefits greatly from the Alabama hype, as have many of their drafted players... cough, cough, Fat Chance Warmack.

    If Cooper gets drafted in the top 5 he will have been a higher pick than every receiver you listed, you really think he'll be better than all of them? I sure don't.

    It really wouldn't surprise me to see Kevin White drafted before Amari...

    I think a lot will come down to how big Cooper, White, Parker, etc are and their measureables at the combine. Ty Montgomery was listed at 6'2 but only came back at 5'11 atthe Senior Bowl. Size and speed matter!!!

    I honestly think I like Kevin White more. He is a little bit slower, but he plays more physical, has better size, and I like how he goes up for the ball etc...

    Your average fan is not into 6'2 and a 1/2 so everyone rounds up. Locker is 6'2 and 4/10th's according to his combine. But even the NFL has him listed at 6'3...lol!

    I go by how big, tall, fast they actually are! Makes a difference on the field!

    Ideally you want a QB 6'3"+, but some guys have the vision to make >6'3" work, if I notice anyone under that height show that special vision Id take them

    Honestly, I've never been HUGE on Amari. I think he can be a #1 WR, in the future, but people seem to think he's set to be an elite WR day 1 like Odell. I don't see that.

    A strong combine/measurables and I could easily change my mind.

    If Montgomery slips big time, I wouldn't mind having him late.
