With free agency, and the changing carousel of coaches this years crop of wide receivers is a bit more difficult to draft from. For example, the Bears now have a new coach who is definitely more offensive minded, and the Arizona Cardinals now have a new quarterback, Carson Palmer. How will that impact how we draft? Questions regarding a players maturity enter the equation as well when you consider where to draft Dez Bryant. Can he be counted on to step it up with his alleged maturity? There are always question marks going into each year’s draft but this year seems to have more than normal. So with that in mind I have listed the top 48 wide receivers to follow this short commentary:
Calvin Johnson
Dez Bryant
A.J. Green
Julio Jones
Brandon Marshall
Wes Walker
Randall Cobb
Larry Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson
Demaryius Thomas
Roddy White

Marques Colston
Jordy Nelson
Danny Amendola
Dwayne Bowe
Mike Wallace
T.Y. Hilton
James Jones
Torrey Smith
Anthony Brown
Hakeem Nicks
Danario Alexander
Tavon Austin
DeSean Jackson
Mike Williams
Steve Johnson

Eric Decker
Golden Tate
Emmanuel Sanders
Aaron Dobson
Reuben Randle
Mohamed Sanu
Justin Blackman
Ryan Broyles
Keep an eye out for the injury status of 2 Seahawk wide receivers who are currently on the injured list. Harvin for example may be worth a late pick or a free agent pick up early in the season subject to how he does in his recovery from hip surgery.
