Wide receiver is stacked in the 2014 draft with as many as seven players going in the first round come May. The top five in the class include some elite talent at the top. These players will be the backbone of NFL and fantasy teams alike, but now they are just late round steals fantasy wise.
Sports World News NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Part One
1. Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson:
The can’t miss prospect of 2014 and compare to Calvin Johnson with how amazing his scouting process has been. A combination of speed and strength that can run the deep route just as fast as he can throw a crushing block. A well rounded can’t miss prospect that will make one team very happy.
Best Fit: Buffalo Bills
Pro Comparison: Percy Harvin with better deep route

2. Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M:
The physical freak that is Mike Evans is what makes him special. Very tall and great body control to get the ball combined with his above average speed and hands. Great at getting downfield but doesn't shy away from low contact gains that most teams need. Possession receiver is where he will find his calling in the NFL and would fit great in Detroit.
Best Fit: Detroit Lions
Pro Comparison: Vincent Jackson

3. Marqise Lee, WR, USC:
Lee will be a steal in the 15-25 range of the draft due to his lackluster 2013. He was oft injured, lost his coach midseason and had mediocre quarterback play, but its all on him? Lee is big and talented player with a fiery passion for competition. He will improve with better QB play and he will get that in the NFL.
Best Fit: Baltimore Ravens
Pro Comparison: Victor Cruz
4. Odell Beckham, Jr., WR, LSU:
The most dangerous slot receiver in the draft, Beckham will use his superior speed to make a living in the NFL. He also benefits from the ability to make the first tackle miss and the game changing skill moves to make multiple players miss. His speed will be his ally much like a player who is the subject of recent trade talks.
Best Fit: Carolina Panthers
Pro Comparison: DeSean Jackson
5. Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
A matchup nightmare, Benjamin is a player that will make the most of the passes he catches with a high yards after catch average. He's a natural red zone target in the NFL and will catch a ton of touchdowns in his career. He will also show positive strides having a real quarterback and not a freshman who has a lot of developing to do before the NFL.
Best Fit: New England Patriots
Pro Comparison: Demaryius Thomas
Others: Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State: Anquan Boldin
Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU: Hines Ward
Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State: Steve Smith
Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt: Michael Floyd
