I'm trying to get a sense of his talent and what to expect from him.
How does he compare to these guys?

Watkins
Cooper
Ridley
Calloway
Rudolph
Coley



(I'm no expert. But I see him as better than Rudolph and Coley, equal to Calloway and Ridley but behind Cooper and Watkins...)

He's got the speed of Deon, size of Megatron, open field ability of Hester, and legacy of Sampson Doyo.

Hes not better then Coley, but he is better then Rudolph, and calloway. behind Ridley, Cooper , Watkins
 
The only reason Coley is that low is because of injury. Coley is sick. It's effortless for him. I also don't think they utilized him in the best way, but that's me. I think Richards is better than Calloway and Rudolph coming out of school. 6'2 with really good speed, fluidity, hands and he's very athletic after the catch.
 
He's better then Rudolph don't count Ridley cause he's old enough to get his retirement funds already but imo coleys as good as coop a little behind Watkins and I'd put Richards in that same range

A 4 WR set of:

Coley
Richards
Bruce
Cager

will be pretty difficult to stop.
 
I'd rank them:

Cooper
Watkins
Ridley
Coley

Calloway
Rudolph
Richards

2nd group are very good, but the 1st group is elite

Am I the only one not that high on Coley in regards to this? I mean he has speed but isn't a natural-hands catcher and doesn't possess the make you miss type of moves that Cooper/Watkins/Ridley have.

Watkins
Cooper
Ridley
Richards
Calloway
Coley
Rudolph

Coley has BETTER make you miss moves than Sammy Watkins/Cooper/Ridley (Thats Coley's bread and butter)...Cooper and Watkins are known for being the prototypical size and being sound/fluid route runners, attacks the ball, and comes down with it. I refuse to put Ridley in the same group as 2 NFL wide receivers no matter what he did in 1 year of college offense against ****** SEC pass defenses. He also got shut down in the bowl game by Clemson who didn't even have their best CB in the game the whole second half. Cooper and Watkins didn't get shut down by pedestrians
 
Some of you really need to take orange and green glasses off......putting Coley in same category as Cooper/Watkins

Did people not watch Calloway this year or am I missing something?

Richards even being mentioned with that group tells you he is special.
 
I need to watch more Alabama football games, I didn't realize people outside of CBS/ESPN announcers considered Ridley to be in the Watkins/Cooper class of player.
