hmmm...not many good ones. The biggest names are probably Mike Williams and Josh Reynolds and Corey Davis

PAC-12 the only WRs with great height I know of are Seth Collins, Oregon State (Sophmore) and N'Keal Harry (freshman)

SEC: Josh Reynolds of Texas A&M. Tennessee you have Josh Malone, a junior

Big 10: Jehu Chesson, Michigan. Malik Turner, Illinois. Domonique Young, Purdue. Robert Wheelwright, Wisconsin

ACC: Mike Williams, Clemson (ofcourse). Jamari Staples, Louisville. Ricky Jeune, Georgia Tech. Keeon Johnson, Virginia

Big 12: Allen Lazard, Iowa State. Taj Williams, TCU.

Other: Corey Davis, Western Michigan. Kenny Golloday, Northern Illinois. Jerome Lane, Akron. Dedrick Wilson, Boise State. Marcus Kemp, Hawaii. Aaron Peck, Fresno State. Robert Davis, Georgia State. Kalib Woods, FAU. Isaiah Jones, Southern Miss. Valdes-Santling, South Florida.

Really want Mike Williams but don't think we will be high enough to pick him without trading up

I didn't see Hansen until he played ASU, great player. My concern is how he does with physical DBs, Orr who is in his 1st year as corner was pretty effective against him (yeah I know the stats aren't great, but those are 1st half stats on some exceptional throws/catches). FWIW, Orr said that on filmHansen struggles with physicality at the line.
Isaiah Ford and Corey Davis are two guys I really like. If Ford comes out I think he could go early second. Davis is the guy I want most (outside of Mike Williams).

Mike Williams would be perfect for Tennessee assuming they end the charade, fire Mularkey and go after Josh McDaniels.

This guy knows. Jackson is a great CB. Patrick faked him right out of his shoes. Literally.

Ryan Switzer of North Carolina. Smaller slot receiver, former high school RB, excels as a route runner, dangerous after the catch, can return kicks and punts, is on the verge of tying the college punt return TD record already shared by Wes Welker. Dude is a 10/10 on the Belichick scale.

One guy I've not heard anyone talking about is Kenny Golladay of Northern Illinois. Kid is a very under the radar player who I happen to like. Red zone threat at 6-4 215 and can go up and get it. Has had a real nice start to the season. Still very early, but keep an eye on this kid. I have no doubts he'll continue to have a productive season. Pre-draft process will be big for determining where he goes in the 2017 draft.

Another player I'm keeping tabs on is Cody Thompson from Toledo. Leads the nation in YPC, has scored in four straight games, and is 6th in the nation in yards/game. Only a junior, but if he keeps up this pace, he's going to get a lot more attention.

Among players already mentioned, I do like what I've seen from Cooper Kupp and Switzer as well.
