Woods is in the Pac 12. How many wr's has USC produced that when put in the league lived up to their hype? Look at USC's qb's. All of them draft well and have very limited success. Judging skill players from the pac 12 is not easy.

Could be said for uf gator QBs too! :-)

If the triad of Hunter, Rogers, and Bray play healthy all year, the other wr choices will be left far, far behind

I think I pick a healthy hunter out of all the ones listed. At least based on potential. I guess we haven't seen him as the top option long enough to say for sure.

But speed jumping height hands routes. His skill set is insane.

Is colt Brennan better than peyton manning? Ok that's probably not the best example to use but you see my point?
SEC= Dominant defenses every week ACC= a tough Vandy defense in my opinion...lol!

None of those players are as good as Robert Woods. You can watch Woods play and tell he is a special type of reciever. He will be a top 5 pick, I'm positive the other USC recievers weren't drafted that high.

Barkely is the first overall pick because of Robert Woods.

Plus we are talking about college. Woods would dominate any SEC corner.

Sammy watkins is a pro in any league.

Im not defending acc defenses but there is defensive talent in that league... Especially in the secondary.

A healthy Hunter is the most talented WR I've ever seen in the orange and white.

That being said, Watkins is a freak talent too.

I would take Hunter 1A and Watkins 1B, Woods, then Da'Rick 3.

We argued about this yesterday... I would first go with a healthy J.Hunter , then D.Rogers, and either S.Watkins or R.Woods. D.Rogers is a proven 1,000 yard receiver who went a season without a run game and double coverages. Justin Hunter last year would have competed with J.Blackmon if he stayed healthy all season. S.Watkins has not proven himself in the S.E.C nor was he treated like D.Rogers bc they had a decent running game plus a quarterback who could run in the pocket..... That alone speaks volumes. For Instance:

Top 8 SEC Total Defense Rankings:1-Alabama,2-LSU,3-Georgia,4-S.Carolina,9-Florida,19-Vanderbilt,28-Tennessee

Top 8 ACC Total Defense Rankings: 6-Florida State,12-V.Tech,27-W.Virginia,30-Virginia,40-N.Carolina,45-Miami,46-G.Tech

Watkins is a great playmaker and reciever, but he isn't a complete reciever like Hunter or Woods.

Sammy watkins is never gonna prove himself in the SEC. Wont be possible. So do you write off malcolm mitchell's season because he didnt play the top three in the league? I like DR and even though he didnt have Bray if you really look at stats he only had one meaningful game.
