I don't get all the Kevin White love. I have seen both these guys play and Parker is a much better prospect. He runs nice routes, has size, uses his hands, grabs the ball at it's highest point. Kevin White looks like Cordarrelle Patterson.... athletic and raw. IMO if Parker goes before us we need to go BPA on defense even if White is available.
 
Parker may well go to the Vikings at 11th overall, to re unite with Bridgewater....... Assuming they want to go WR of course.

The one difference I see is White has a much thicker stronger body than Parker, but Parker probably has a little edge on route running and catching the ball over White. I think they both should be great in the NFL. I think Parker reunites with Bridgewater in Minny. If Cooper, Parker and White are gone, I would just draft Shaq Thompson, LB, Washington and go after Jaelen Strong or Nelson Agholor at WR in Round Two.

Here is what ESPN analyst Daniel Jeremiah had to say:

I love Parker, Cooper & DGB on tape but West Virginia's Kevin White is my top WR. He has the same traits as Julio Jones.

Agholor isn't even 6 feet tall. I've played basketball with him so many times at USC. He's pretty thick though and he is going to be definitely regulated to a slot WR. Which we already have in Landry.

Going to be a pointless pick even though hes going to be good in the NFL.
 
White has a little more speed than Parker IMO. But, I love both of them as prospects. In my first mock back in October I had Miami taking Parker. I think he'd be a perfect fit.

Parker is so Brandon Marshall while White is Julio Jones. Whit is the best wr in this draft.

Yeah but Agholor can also run back kicks....something we really need help at. I am still for getting a taller WR but it depends who is available.
 
I disagree with some stuff stated.

Kevin White I think is definiely one of the top 2 off the board... he is so close to Amari Cooper basically in so many ways, I would actually take White before Cooper myself... but once again they are basically equal in many aspects of WR.

Devante Parker, the more I have watched of him the more I have thought on him. He has great footwork and great hands and great speed... but then what worries me is even with his big frame he doesnt use it well, he doesnt run aggressively, and actually rounds his routes off. He doesnt create separation consistently, and his separation created on the deep balli find to be a big weakness for him.

Nelson Agholor I notice was spoken on here too... and I actually have him as a definitely NO to draft. He is a runner when able to run straight, very fast, I find him to have very poor footwork though, his quickness isnt there, and laterally he doesnt move well. Once again though, he can run if allowed in space... but I dont see him really creating much at all himself in the NFL.
 
I think the complete reverse. I'll take White over Parker. White's stronger, plays to his size better and his explosive acceleration makes him more valuable. I might be wrong to doubt Parker, but I just don't see it.
