Ranking the 6 best receivers in the NFC West

[dang]

Little confused. 5th overall? Nobody. 5th WR taken? Kirk.

Question: who was the 5th receiver chosen in the 2018 draft?
Answer: Kirk.... is the truth.

 

[Adi]

1 2 3 should be rams.

 

[SuperMan28]

Really feels like a run-first division.

-Seahawks love to run.
-Rams, of course with Gurley
-Cards got a rookie QB so they're gonna be looking to run a lot.
- Niners... What recievers?

 

[SuperMan28]

I mean the Rams have good WR's... but outside the Rams, our division is weak sauce at wideout.

I do agree with that. However, Seahawks are a team to watch. Baldwin retired and he was awesome. They drafted a big burner in the second round (Medcaff, however you spell it.) And a very interesting WR in the third. It's a young, explosive group.

ARZ has Isabella, Kirk, and Fitz. That's also interesting.

I think the gap has tightened from last year.

- Niners... What recievers?

Yeah but they also have Kittle, who has developed into an effin beast. If you were to have a division draft that dude would go off the board before most wideouts.

 

[Legatron4]

Okay enough already about Kirk. The qualities of the Rams recievers remind me of the greatest show on turff days. Woods has many of the gualities that Bruce possesed, Cooks reminds me of Holt, and Kupp is similar to Proel.

Agreed about Woods and Cooks.

Kupp is lightyears better then Proehl ever was.

 

[SuperMan28]

Yeah but they also have Kittle, who has developed into an effin beast. If you were to have a division draft that dude would go off the board before most wideouts.

Kittle would have been #1 had the topic included TE's. Kittle is a stud.

 

[Ram65]

Woods should be #1 as he does it all. The blocking he does is fantastic. The running gives the Rams another thing defenses have to look out for. The route running and pass catching are top level in the entire league.

Let's see what happens this year. Lockett and Pettis had some big YPC numbers. Look for Kupp to bounce back while KIrk and the Cardinals will be interesting to see how fast they can come together. Amazing that Cooks is only 25 years old and that he put up numbers again in the first year of a new offense.

 

[SuperMan28]

Nah, I'd go with Kittle. TE's of his calibre are far more rare than WR's of Woods. Kittle's receiving ability is nearly elite. Not saying Robert Woods is far off, though. Woods is a good player.

 

[Mackeyser]

Kittle would have been #1 had the topic included TE's. Kittle is a stud.

I think Kittle was so underrated, but yeah, I also think that Kyle Shanahan has a better feel for using his TEs than McVay does...at this time.

I think Everett is gonna have BONKERS year, especially early as McVay finds ways to get him the ball and Goff becomes more comfortable with him. I especially love that Everett once he catches the ball runs ANGRY. He trucked a few dbs and always seemed to find a way to get extra yards. Higbee did also, but Everett was just faster and better at it.

Even with all that, Kittle is def a stud and someone we'll have to account for or our games with the 9ers will be closer than they otherwise should.

 

[Florida_Ram]

Love me some Woods.

Love me some Cooks.


Something tells me this guy will be the cream that rises to the top before the 2019 season ends.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Love me some Woods.

Love me some Cooks.


Something tells me this guy will be the cream that rises to the top before the 2019 season ends.

I think it'll be an even split. I predict that Cooks will be first in yrds, Kupp may be first in receptions and TDs, but Woods will be top 2 in all 3. Woods will still end the season as the best WR on the team.

 

[Corbin]

As for this list, I think I would put Tyler Lockett at #2 & actually switch Kupp with Woods. I think Kupp is your guys’ best WR, but Woods is the most underrated in the league.

This is the first thing you have said that isn't bat shit crazy!

 

[Mackeyser]

Honestly, other than maybe Kittle, I think our trio is better than any other receiver including Sir Larry who is having himself a HoF career. As far as who’s 1-2-3, I’d go 1) Woods, 1a) Kupp, followed very closely by 3) Cooks.

And that’s only because Woods has been so dang clutch.

As Kupp develops, I expect him to be our 1 from the slot.

 

[Memento]

Call me a homer, but I'd put Reynolds ahead of Pettis, Kirk, and Lockett, given that Reynolds is proven, talented, and acquitted himself well when called upon. My six receivers:

Kittle (yeah, I'm going to count a tight end from San Fran. Kittle is just that damned good.)
Kupp (most underrated receiver in the game today)
Woods (steady, reliable, everything you want in a receiver)
Cooks (tied with Woods, and is very damned good.)
Fitzgerald (Fitz produced, and the state of the Cardinals isn't his fault. Would take him on the Rams in a heartbeat.)
Reynolds (Could probably start on more than half of the teams in the league.)

Yea, this is a major homer response, lol. I like Reynolds & liked him a lot coming out of A&M. Wanted us to draft him, but there’s just no way you can put him above Lockett with the skill set & the career year he just had. Sadly, he’s only going to get better, too.

I think him being a WR4 will hold him back from leaping WR2s or even soon to be WR1s from other teams in the division.
