Of all the Wide receiver prospects.

[rippadonn]

It will likely depend on whether there is a run on them before we pick. Each year it seems that there is a run on some position in the draft and teams are fearful that their guy won't be there in the second and reach for him in the first. Wide receiver could easily be that position this year.

That may be the case with Benjamin this year. A couple early mocks had him going to Seattle at #32 so he may not make it to the second. He could go 27 or 28 if he's there. Much like Cam the measurables would be hard to pass up. He's a Hog Mollie WR. We've never had a player at that position with that potential on this team. That's why I'd take a chance. Thats also why I'm not a GM.

Jarvis Landry has the best hands. I hope we grab him at 60

[CPF4LIFE]

Imma go with Latimer based off what i have heard since he jumped up the board. Did not drop a pass last season, Todd Mcshay said on ESPN he couldn't find no drops on his tape.

[Carolina_Crazy]

Jarvis Landry!!!!

[uscgamecocks]

I think Latimer - he catches everything away from his body and boxes out/high points the ball like the former basketball player he is.

But fortunately there are a lot of receivers with very good hands in this draft.

Mchsay was being kind. I think the first game of his that I looked at he dropped at least 1. You can watch every snap of 3-7ish games here of every WR prospect for your self.

Seems to me every WR I watched was guilty of dropping passes. Benjamin and Robinson were the best at catching contested balls downfield which most others had little success with.

[PanthersFanAllDay89]

Im really high on Street. I would be happy if we could pick him up in the 4th round.

 

Also would love Benjamin if he is available in the 1st round.

Just out of curiosity, but are the opinions in this thread based off of YouTube highlight vids? If that is the case then everyone on that list is amazing because no one drops a pass on YouTube.

Which are the prospects with the best hands? Grabbing a prospect with great hands seems to be what we need. Besides speed and Catch radius. Having a sure handed wide out is essential. What is the consensus as far as which wide receivers catch everything thrown at them?

 

From what I have been reading here and there.

 

Sammy Watkins

Mike Evans

Brandin Cooks

Davante Adams

Jarvis Landry

Cody Latimer

Jordan Matthews

Allen Robinson

(Suggest more if you could please.)

 

 

The first two are out of the question, we all know they will not fall to us and we aren't going to trade up either. 

 

The rest? I believe we have a legitimate shot at drafting.  Respectively in the first and second round.

 

What other prospects have sure hands in this draft that can be selected in later rounds?

 

when you're looking at hands there's Landry, and everyone else. It's not even close really.

[C47]

Marquis Lee might be there when we pick in the second.

 

What would give you that idea?

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

Landry has good hands but what do hands do if you can't get any seperation in the nfl

[carolina-chuck]

Best hands out of that list: Jarivs Landry and Brandin Cooks.

Not sure how Robinson made it there. The dude body catches most of the time.

[top dawg]

Devin Street is one of the best pass-catchers in the draft. He has absolutely fantastic hands and an uncanny ability to spear the ball at its' highest point. Instead of trying to catch with his chest, he prefers to use his strong hands to tear the ball out of the air, or out of cornerbacks' hands. He has great timing and great coordination, which allows him to win jump balls regularly and adjust to mis-throws. 

SB Nation

 

Hands: After studying six games of Street over a three year period, Street has a catch percentage of 90% which is simply phenomenal considering Street was a downfield target and struggled with poor quarterback play. Street has been caught catching the ball occasionally with his body rather than his hands especially going over the middle. With that being said, he still is able to catch the ball as consistently as any receiver in the country, that kind of reliability is definitely valued by NFL teams.

BOTTOM LINE

 Pitt's all-time leading pass catcher, Street is a narrowly built, long-levered, smooth-muscled receiver whose best assets are his length and hands. Needs to incorporate more physicality into his overall game, but has the ability to be an effective zone beater and red-zone target.

NFL.com (Nawrocki)

 

STRENGTHS: Smooth athlete with natural body control and foot quickness to create some space and work the middle of the field. Shows toughness before and after the catch, high-pointing and coming down with contested receptions and also fighting for every yard after the grab. Soft hands and usually catches everything thrown his way, staying focused from snap to whistle.

CBS Sports

 

Don't sleep on Street. He should be available in later rounds.  I have seen one article from the National Football Post back in 2012 that said he was overrated that some people are still referring to after this past season, but that's obviously sloppy homework.  He stayed in college and had a good year.  His perceived weaknesses are speed, a relatively thin build and YAC, but dude has some great hands by all accounts (perhaps the best in the draft).

What would give you that idea?

Injury history which might scare teams off.  Look what happened to Star last year and that was simply a medical eval that was later disproven.  Lee has a history of injuries and isn't very big or powerful.  There are questions about his durability in the NFL.
