\"\"Last week I gave you my top QB rankings for this month’s NFL draft. \u00a0This week I dive in with the top WRs for this draft. \u00a0I will do this in more depth next year with rankings on more positions. \u00a0I will have running back rankings tomorrow. \u00a0I base my rankings largely on production and attributes. \u00a0Personal things that I know about the players does factor in along with what I perceive along the lines of work ethic as I feel it is a major factor in a wide receiver’s long term success in the NFL. \u00a0I think is that factor weighs in as much as or more so than any other position on the field. \u00a0Enough blabber, here are the rankings with brief comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
