Post-Combine Wide Receiver Rankings for 2015 NFL Draft

The 2014 crop of wide receivers was arguably the strongest ever, and it put up some ridiculous numbers in year one. But the 2015 group will give it a run for its money.

There are all types of different receivers across the board, with big possession players, downfield threats and everything in between.

Here are the top receivers in the 2015 NFL draft.

1. Kevin White, West Virginia

Listen, I think the combine is somewhat overrated as a tool to measure a prospect's NFL potential. But it's impossible to ignore the incredible athleticism Kevin White showed last weekend.

Running a 4.35-second 40-yard dash with a 1.52 10-yard split at 6'3", 215 pounds is insane. He looked explosive in everything he did, and that was enough to push him up into the top spot on my list.

It's impossible to look at his tape and not see a future star. White is all over the field making plays in every way possible. He has great hands and a huge catch radius, and he should continue improving at the next level. 

2. Amari Cooper, Alabama

It's less of a slight to Amari Cooper than it is praise of Kevin White that Cooper is currently second in my rankings.

I think the world of Cooper. He's one of the most balanced receiver prospects I have seen in a long time. There is nothing he doesn't already do well.

His athleticism was also on display at the combine, and I would probably still bet that he is selected before White in the draft. But if it were my decision, Cooper loses out by just a hair.

3. Dorial Green-Beckham, Oklahoma

Dorial Green-Beckham might be the most interesting prospect in the entire draft, even though he has not gotten nearly as much coverage as I expected.

He is the most physically imposing receiver in the draft by far, standing at 6'5" with a 32.5" wingspan. DGB runs like a gazelle on the field, but his smooth athleticism belies his willingness to get physical and make tough catches.

Obviously, the talent is not much of an issue, but even with the previous off-the-field issues, I would still rank him as just a half-step behind the top two receivers. 

The Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss comparisons may be a little excessive, but I'm still buying high on DGB.

4. DeVante Parker, Louisville

I think that DeVante Parker got hyped up a little too much during the season, and everyone needs a slight reality check now that the combine has passed.

Parker was always discussed as a freak-of-nature athlete, and while I'm not downplaying his physical gifts, the three guys ahead of him on this list proved they are every bit as athletic as Parker.

His statistics are impressive but not outrageous, as he never caught more than 55 passes in a season during his career. I think he's got all the tools to be a No. 1 receiver, but it's a testament to the strength of this class that he checks in at fourth here.

5. Jaelen Strong, Arizona State

Too many people are still sleeping on Jaelen Strong. He is not the biggest, fastest or strongest receiver in this class, but he's an electrifying playmaker who did incredible things at Arizona State.

He measured in at 6'2", 217 pounds at the combine yet had arms as long as Dorial Green-Beckham's (32.5") and ran a 4.44 40-yard dash.

But if you want to be sold on Strong, just turn on the tape and watch him do some incredible things. He may be a little raw, but the potential is there to be a top receiver in the NFL some day.

In an average receiver class, Strong would probably be a lock top-15 pick. As it stands, he should still go in the first round.

6. Devin Smith, Ohio State

7. Devin Funchess, Michigan

8. Sammie Coates, Auburn

9. Rashad Greene, Florida State

10. Breshad Perriman, Central Florida

11. Nelson Agholor, Southern California

12. Phillip Dorsett, Miami

These guys are all Day 2 material, with Smith and Funchess having the chance to sneak into the first round. Coates is an athletic freak, but he has to work on his hands.

Dorsett was probably the toughest to grade, because it's impossible to not be tantalized with 4.33 speed. He's still got some work to do on his route running, however, and I'm not entirely sold on him as a prospect.

Greene, Perriman and Agholor are all solid prospects who have the ability to step in and contribute right away, and they would all be solid second-round selections.
