A lot of people have told me they consider this to be a relatively weak class of wideouts but the footage that I've watched says otherwise The top five were especially hard to place. They are all so talented and will be legitimate contenders at the next level. There isn't a hefty amount of speed or stature in this year's group, but all are very knowledgeable of the game and have a sense of respect and maturity toward the game that I've never seen. 
Draft talk will become more and more popular as this year's NFL season winds down and multiple, varied opinions will slowly emerge, but here are my top receivers in this year's player lottery. 1. Damian Williams (USC)Height: 6-1Weight: 19040 Time: 4.45Projected Round: Top 25One of the more underrated players in this year’s draft, I have Williams as my first overall for a couple of reasons. He has great hands, catching the ball away from his body and never shying away from the difficult throws over the middle.He is excellent at shielding the corner and making sure only he has the opportunity to catch the ball, flashing his numbers to the quarterback and adjusting his body to whatever throw comes his way.He has tremendous upside for any NFL team but a shoulder injury he sustained in 2008 may be a concern for scouts. His physicality at the line is also questionable but his athleticism and variety of skills will have a number of teams vying for him.Look for a team with any sort of need at receiver to look closely at Williams.Teams that will target him: Cleveland, Baltimore, Miami, 2.
Brandon LaFell (LSU)Height: 6-3Weight: 20940 Time: 4.49Projected Round: Top 25This pick was one of the more difficult ones I had to make. LaFell’s numbers are down this year, but that’s mostly due to LSU’s inadequacies at the quarterback position. He runs flawless routes, whether it is streaks, slants, or out routes. He isn’t afraid to take the hit when he makes a catch in the middle of the field and once he gets the ball in hands, he lowers his pads and bowls over anyone that gets in his way.He has top-tier vision when he’s in open space and will track the defender and shield him with his outside shoulder to make the catch. He is the best blocker in this year’s draft, on the line and in open field. When another receiver makes the catch, LaFell is right there with him, making the pivotal blocks to free his teammate up.He is an NFL-style threat in the redzone, always getting behind the coverage or using his size to break off his man and making the grab in the back corner of the endzone.LaFell needs to learn to be patient with the ball, though.
He has a habit of taking off before he has the ball secured in his hands, resulting in dropped passes that are elementary.He also lacks pure top-end speed but that won’t matter, he will transition nicely in the NFL and be a fast improvement to any team’s receiving corp.Look for a team lacking physicality at the wide out position to pick LaFell up and use him immediately.Teams that will target him: New York Giants, Carolina, Miami 3.

Arrelious Benn (Illinois)Height: 6-2Weight: 21440 Time: 4.46Projected Round: 1-2Benn is an all-around athlete, acting as both wide receiver and return specialist at Illinois. He is faster than most for his size and has a second gear that will grab the attention of more than a few NFL scouts.His numbers aren’t the best compared to other wideouts entering the draft this year, but he makes up for it by his sheer athleticism. When the ball is perfect and the defender is in check, Benn always reels it in.
