2014 is going to go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, draft classes for the WR position. So many rookie WRs had excellent campaigns and many will tell you that Beckham is already the best WR in the NFL.

So how did the Dolphins fair in this draft in terms of the WR position. It was an opportunity for many teams to improve at WR. Simply taking a WR in this past years draft would have landed your team a quality player and a lot of times it would have been a very good or elite player.

Where would you rank Jarvis Landry amongst his peers. Here is the list of WRs who were available in the 2014 draft.......

1st round picks...

Sammy Watkins
Mike Evans
Odell Beckham
Brandin Cooks
Kelvin Benjamin

2nd round picks.....

Davante Adams
Jordan Matthews
Jarvis Landry
Marqise Lee
Allen Robinson
Paul Richardson
Cody Latimer

Round 3......

Donte Moncrief
Josh Huff
John Brown

Martavis Bryant (round 4)
Allen Hurns (undrafted)
 
well i would rather have every other guy that was drafted above landry, so Yeah. but this season Cooks injured so Landry is ahead of him and Adams
 
I'd say top 10

all of the first rounders are 1-5, then I'd make a tier for Donte Moncrief, Jordan Matthews, Martavis Bryant, Allen Hurns, Landry,

then another tier of John Brown, Davante Adams and maybe some others.

It's a crapshoot really after the clearly top guys


i voted 8-10, because I think Moncrief, Bryant, and Matthews have more upside, but we could argue to put Jarvis up there at 6 i suppose. Would've been a nice year to double down
 
Long term:
1. Odell Beckham
2. Sammy Watkins
3. Mike Evans
4. Kelvin Benjamin
5. Jordan Matthews
6. Donte Moncrief
7. Jarvis Landry

Now compare him to the 2013 class....and he's second only to Keenan Allen.

I know it's still early in their careers, but has there been a better group of receivers with a more impressive first year ever? Granted, the league has changed, but 2014 certainly stands out. I'm just happy we landed one of them.

I'll say 6th-7th.

Better yet, where does he rank amongst Dolphins 2nd round picks over the past 20 years (again, yes, I know, premature, but I'm confident enough in his ability to know this is only the beginning for him)?
 
Poor Sammy Watkins. So much potential, so much Rex Ryan to squander it with terrible QBs.
 
The over value of our own.

With no big second gear, a player like John Brown has more upside. But some how is 3rd tier.
 
What an amazing group. It was awesome to see so much talent injected into the league all at once. Right now it's kind of a morass of talent. Separation will probably be made clearer in a few years. I'm just glad we did tap into this incredible well of talent. I hope to hell we do the same thing this year with the historic RB class.

ODB, Watkins, and Evans are probably in another tier because their ceilings are just higher than the others. Benjamin might belong in that tier too. I just imagine D's are going to adjust in future years and do a better job of nullifying the height advantage. I'd put Landry at 5-7. Probably 5 now, but of that incredibly talented group more will rise than fall, but I feel in the end Landry will stay in that 5-7 range. In what could be history's greatest WR class, that's pretty damn good.
 
7th or 8th. Did this guy even average 9 yards a catch this season?

Love his ability to catch underneath routes, change directions, cuts, but no vertical speed or breakaway explosion = no no for top tier.
