FalconsIn2012 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Boy, this is a pretty sad list. If not for 2011 this lit would be an indictment of ever drafting WR top 10 Ranking every WR drafted in the top 10 since 2010 When an NFL player gets drafted in the top ten, certain expectations come with the selection. Sometimes it works out, as in the case of Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, and sometimes it doesn’t, like when the Jaguars drafted Justin Blackmon. For a receiver to validate being taken that early, the player needs to have shown the potential to become a team’s No. 1 option. As we can see, though, rarely does it work out that way. Here’s our ranking of every WR drafted in the top ten over the past decade. 11). Kevin White: Pick No. 7 – 2015 Draft Career Stats: 28 catches, 285 receiving yards (14 games played). 10). John Ross: Pick No. 9 – 2017 Draft Career Stats: 49 catches, 716 receiving yards, 10 TDs (24 games). 9). Justin Blackmon: Pick No. 5 – 2012 Draft Career Stats: 93 catches, 1,280 receiving yards, 6 TDs (20 games played). 8). Corey Davis: Pick No. 5 – 2017 Draft Career Stats: 142 catches, 1,867 receiving yards, 6 TDs (42 games). 7). Tavon Austin: Pick No. 8 – 2013 Draft Career Stats: 215 catches, 2,006 receiving yards, 15 TDs; 196 carries, 1,340 rushing yards 10 TDs… 6). Mike Williams: Pick No. 7 – 2017 Draft Career Stats: 103 catches, 1,760 receiving yards, 12 TDs (41 games). 5). Sammy Watkins: Pick No. 4 – 2014 Draft Career Stats: 284 catches, 4,244 receiving yards, 31 TDs (76 games played). 4). Amari Cooper: Pick No. 4 – 2015 Draft Career Stats: 357 catches, 5,097 receiving yards, 33 TDs (77 games played). 3). Mike Evans: Pick No. 7 – 2014 Draft Career Stats: 462 catches, 7,260 receiving yards, 48 TDs (90 games played). 2). A.J. Green: Pick No. 4 – 2011 Draft Career Stats: 602 catches, 8,907 receiving yards, 63 TDs (111 games played). 1).
