NFL draft superlatives: Expert says which WR has best hands, top talent, boom/bust, more

For Cleveland fans, offensive tackle and wide receiver have been the primary focus all draft cycle. It would have been nice if this year’s draft had a bunch of quarterback options, but that is not one of the blessings of this draft.

On Monday, NFL draft expert Jon Ledyard took part in another Q&A at SB Nation. In response to DBN’s question about the wide receiver group, Ledyard gave out superlatives for the prospects this year:

• Best chance to be a true #1: KC Concepcion or Carnell Tate
• Best contested catch guy: Denzel Boston
• Best hands: Tate
• Best routes: In terms of executing what routes they are asked to run, Elijah Sarratt is probably the most clean and consistent. Mendoza could have thrown to him with a blindfold on. In terms of separation created, KC Concepcion, not close
• Boom/Bust potential: Chris Brazzell. Chris Bell is in the conversation, too, but Brazzell just moves different

Most Browns fans would love to see Tate take the short trip up I-71 from Columbus, but Concepcion and Boston could be first-round options as well. Brazzell and Bell are seen as Day 2 prospects, while Sarratt’s evaluations are all over the board, depending on what folks value in the receiver position.
