I thought this was interesting today -it is Bucky Brooks attempt to group the various available receivers together by type.

Might help clarify which receivers we might want and which ones we don’t need more of.

Route runners
Calvin Ridley, Alabama
Christian Kirk, Texas A&M
DaeSean Hamilton, Penn State
Deontay Burnett, USC
Jordan Lasley, UCLA

Big receivers/red-zone threats
Courtland Sutton, SMU
Equanimeous St. Brown, Notre Dame
Auden Tate, Florida State
Allen Lazard, Iowa State
Marcell Ateman, Oklahoma State

Chain movers
D.J. Moore, Maryland
Michael Gallup, Colorado State
Dante Pettis, Washington
Cedrick Wilson, Boise State
Tre'Quan Smith, UCF

Big-play threats
James Washington, Oklahoma State
Deon Cain, Clemson
D.J. Chark, LSU
Antonio Callaway, Florida
Anthony Miller, Memphis

I would agree for the most part. There are a few guys who could fall under a couple of categories but I'm nitpicking.

Interesting to note, I think we've discussed every player listed here at least once except Cedrick Wilson. He is an interesting prospect for sure and has been deemed a draft sleeper.

I know he is valued in between our first 2 picks but I would love to see chark in this offense. He's a more athletic keelan and to have those guys stretching the field and asj along with Lee patrolling the middle would be pretty stout.

Same. Sign me up for some Chark.

Agreed. 
If Sutton isn't there at 29 I could see us waiting on WR until round 3 or 4 and getting a guy like Tate.
Raw but could be a role player at WR in the RZ as a rookie.

In today's offenses it really does come down to utility. You have to have a full set of weapons to implement. Being without one severely limits your options/ability to impose your will.

Agree. The more mismatches you can create the better set you are. 

The one skillset we are really missing from our WR group is a big bodied/contested catch guy. There are a good amount of them in this class and while I don't *love* any of them it might be prudent to take one from rounds 4-7.
