Kevin White - I said earlier Devante Parker was my number 1 draft target, but that's only because I believe Kevin White will allready be taken. He's my number 1 ranked receiver and would be amazing if he fell to 11. Reminds me a lot of julio Jones. I think Parker is slightly better at jump balls but Kevin White is by far the better athlete.
Tashaun Gipson - Browns safety who has a 2nd round tender right now, meaning we could sign him but it would cost us a 2nd round pick. It's a high price but he seems like he's worth it. He's a Safety/Cornerback hybrid who has 11 picks in the last two seasons. He's a playmaker and could really make a difference on our defense.
Mike Wallace - Here's your newest Viking in Purple guys. Glad to be finally doing someone who actually joined our team. He should make an excellent deep threat for Teddy. Hope he can get back to his Steeler days because with the Dolphins he was only a deep threat distraction and not really an everydown playmaker.
Mike Wallace - Mike Wallace is mostly known for his blazing speed and cutting ability, but he was a RedZone machine last season scoring 9 of 10 TD's inside 20 yards. This is important because finsihing drives is key and besides Rudy we've lacked a true RedZone receiver. "MoneyMaker" Mike Wallace will change that, his speed and agilty make him a threat to score from anywhere on the field.
Amari Cooper - Amari Cooper is my third rated receiver in the draft this year, but despite that he's definately a first round tallent. I prefer to take a RedZone/Jump Ball receiver if we do take one but I can understand the apeal of Amari Cooper. He reminds me a lot of Antonio Brown. Good speed, Excellent route running and a relentless effort to get open. Also he was Teddy Bridgewater's teamate in High School so I'm sure there chemistry would be on point.
Made this edit of Mike Wallace, Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson. Our young receiving corps will absolutely tear it up next season. each one of them attacking a different part of the field. Mike Wallace attacks 25+ yards downfield, Charles Johnson attacks 25-10 and Cordarrelle Patterson attacks 10- including screens. Teddy should be able to put up some big numbers throwing to these three.
Kevin Johnson - Kevin johnson is a corner i see going after a lot of the bigger names but could end up being better than all of them. at 6'0 he's lanky enough to make plays on taller recievers. Not elite top speed but he overcomes that with excellent footwork and agility. Explosive vertical jump when he frequently goes up and gets the ball at it's highest point. Excellent round 2-3 corner who could like help our outside CB spot imidiately.

Nice. He finished among the top three cornerbacks in the vertical jump, the broad jump, the three-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle.
