1. Amari Cooper, Alabama (6-1, 210 pounds)

If you liked Julio Jones, you’re going to love Amari Cooper. Cooper is the unquestioned top target in college football and many thought he should have won the Heisman Trophy. Cooper has everything you want in a wide receiver, he may actually be the most complete wide receiver I have ever seen come into the NFL draft.

Cooper runs great routes, has blazing speed, has great leaping ability and can make the circus catches that you’ve seen from Odell Beckham Jr. this season. I would apologize for the run on sentence but his lists of strengths is quite long. He has had 115 receptions for 1,656 yards and 14 interceptions this season. The only knock that I can find on his game is that he drops the occasional pass and its usually the easy wide open passes that he drops. At least we know he is human.
