Big John (10/11/2008)
1. Crabtree
2. Maclin
3. Harvin
4. Heyward-Bey
5. Benn
6. Bryant (reminds me too much of Adarius Bowman)


How does he remind you of Adarius Bowman? Dez is much more athletic, talented and physical. He can win any jump-ball situation. He's a playmaker and I think he could turn out to be the best WR out of this group. The dude is a beast.

Well before last season everyone was calling Bowman the next Calvin Johnson.

Honestly, I've only seen little clips of him. I haven't had the chance to watch him play yet.

I think Dez could be the next great NFL WR, he's got the size, hands, ball skills, body control, production, speed, versatility (KR and PR), leaping ability you look for in an NFL WR

I agree. He has the ability to score anytime he touches the ball, and is really fun to watch. They say he's the most talented player at OSU since Barry Sanders was here, and I really think he will have a productive NFL career. He's only a sophomore so he has even more time to develop. He makes the QB look much better than he actually is. Just throw it in his general direction and he'll find a way to come down with the football. He is already built like an NFL WR. He man-handles any CB that has him in single-coverage. He can and will break tackles in the open field. He has returned 2 punts already this year for TD's. He's essentially everything we've lacked at the WR position, and I'd love to have him as a Jaguar. He hasn't gotten much publicity playing at OK State, but they are now #8 in the country so it's going to be hard to ignore him. Maclin and Crabtree are the big WR names in the Big XII, and I think he's been overshadowed. He is just as good if not better than both of them.

Big John, if you ever get a chance to watch him man, you should. I think you'll like what you see.

After seeing Brandon Marshall today, is Brandon Marshall a fair comparison to Dez Bryant?

I will say the way wide receivers who are can't miss, miss in the NFL... I'd say about three of those guys will actually become stars.

With that stated, Maclin runs a lot more routes than people here are giving him credit for.  He runs the slot, he's not the outside guy ever.  But the guy cuts and leaves defenders in their spots.

Crabtree has the body size... I don't like Harvin, of course I'm not from the southeast.

I also wasn't impressed with Bryant last night, even while Okie State was putting a beating on us.  Bryant got roughed off and backed off.  Maclin was the best receiver in the game yesterday as far as pure receiving is concerned.

Benn is an impressive player, I haven't seen much of Bey. 

Maclin has also bulked up this season, and still has his speed.  You never know with receivers, but I like Mac's chances.
