Best WRs in the NFCE? (1-4)

He’s my dream pick at 12 but there are 3-4 WR in this draft that are worth 12th pick. Some are similar to lamb is why I favor TM but any of those others can help this team. The one I least like that many do is golden. I don’t get caught up in 40 times myself
I like golden but his 4.2 speed just doesn't show up on tape. I would have thought he had around the same speed as lamb. 4.2 speed I was expecting him to house a lot of the balls he got but I just didn't see him running away from guys like you used to see with DJax in philly or Tyreek hill.

But I do like Goldens hands and route running.
 
1. CeeDee Lamb
2. A.J. Brown
3. Malik Nabers
4. Terry McLaurin

There is not any huge gap between one and four. The rest of the NFC should hope Jayden Daniels and McLaurin do not sync much more over time. They have only one season together under their belt. That combo has not been exploited fully yet. Their potential is unrealized now but could become deadly.
And you can add Davonte to that list. Doesn't get the love because he's a 1A, but he's right up there w/ the others.
 
Lamb is a fine player, but Brown is clearly #1 unless you are talking fantasy points. McLaurin is 2, then Lam but Smith is right there and Nabers is a comer. There are so many really good receivers in the league now it's crazy.
 
Lamb has the slowest 40 but the fastest 10 yard split.

Is Golden hindered by the QB’s arm?

If a team has two Alpha WRs, an alpha player at WR3, TE, or RB will be undercovered. Of course, the QB has to identify that player fast.

Such an under rated player. Remember when everyone said he wouldn't hold up physically? For a thin dude he's actually very tough and doesn't shy away from contact. Plus he's probably the smoothest WR in the game, and his hands are unreal. Might be my favorite college player from the last 10 years.
 
I think his inconsistencies come from QB play not his skill though.
That was going to be part of my reply but you said it. All we can do is base it off their results so far with the QBs they have so it's not a like for like comparison but if each of these receivers had prime Rodgers (the best QB I've ever seen play) throwing to them, how would they be ranked? Brown is just physically better than those listed, IMO, but that's also how I like WRs to be if I'm choosing so I have a bias that way.
 
So we have the best WR and the best QB in the east.

Then why do we dont win the sb like the eagles do?
Their QB shows up in big games. Nothing gets into his head. He is so much better now than he was three years ago. The old narrative about Hurts needs to die. He always works to improve. He now throws a very nice deep ball. His reading of defenses has improved every year. He goes through progressions much more. He calls smart audibles. He has the full respect of his teammates. His pocket presence still needs work, but he can extend plays and showed in the Super Bowl how important his legs are. KC challenged Hurts to score on them in the SB. He rose to the challenge. He didn’t choke on his chunky soup like McNabb. I will never forget McPuke, lol!
 
Yeah I was gonna say you can argue Brown is as good or better than Lamb. To put him 4 th is nasty. Now I’d rather have the three others over him for personal reasons but he’s a dog and he a great receiver.
Yeah you can't really use stats as freely as we want to decide this.

What would AJ Brown do in Lamb's place in Dallas, with high volume of passes being thrown at him, vs the run 1st offense he's in (and often unhappy about).

What would Nabors do with a good QB?

I think we know what McLauren is. He's the least gifted of the 4, but probably has the best head on his shoulders of any of them.

Can't just say "ceedee gets the most catches/yds so he's the best" Dallas can't run so Dak throws it to him a zillion times a game, and also ceedee gets tons of garbage yards from Dak, whereas the Eagles are handing the ball off every play in the 4th quarter trying to kill the clock because they're up by 2 TDs

AJ Brown would be the guy you LEAST want to tackle. Ceedee and Nabors would be the HARDEST to grab hold of to tackle. And McLauren is the guy you'd least worry about if you were his coach, knowing he'd be the guy QBs would probably most like having as his go to WR

Fair to say the NFC East would boast the best 4 WRs of any other division in the league?
 
Hurts has been fine, but with Saquan they are going to run the ball more than other teams. Something most posting in this thread also seem to overlook is the Eagles have DeVonta Smith, who is very near the level of some list. Accordingly there naturally will be some weeks Smith gets more focus from the Eagles offense than Brown
What I mean is Jalen isn’t a throw the ball type of guy. Hes gonna struggle to throw 3k yards. In a offense that throws 5k yards these guys would have much better stats.

Also worth noting McNabb was throwing to Todd Stinkston and James Trash tho.

I don’t believe the part about playing with bad quarterbacks hurting receivers. A good receiver will produce with a bad QB. Nabers will produce with anyone. Now offenses are different. His stats would struggle in a run offense like Philly.
 
Burrow, Allen, Jackson, are throw the ball type of guys. Hurts is a win the game type of guy.
What does that have to do with why AJ Browns stats aren’t better? I’m talking about why Browns stats suffer. It’s because it’s a run dominated team. Jalen Hurts and Barkley are providing rushing yards. Now would take Burrow, Allen and Jackson over him but that’s just me.
