How would you rank the top 5 WRs since Julio in terms of entire career/projected career?

I think obviously Julio is #1 right now, but my list is
1. Julio (self explanatory)
2. Jaylen Waddle (most underrated receiver in Alabama history, and I think he could legitimately surpass 2000 yards receiving this season and multiple times after. Led the league in YPC and broke rookie receptions record)
3. DeVonta Smith (he and Waddle are 2a and 2b, but gave Waddle the edge due to Smith having a shorter shelf life imo.)
4. Amari Cooper (has quietly had a solid career with multiple 1000 yard seasons)
5. Calvin Ridley (missed time, and was older going in which is limiting his career longevity)
Honorable mentions:
Jerry Jeudy (would probably be number 5, but Denver has had QB issues since he’s been there)
Jameson Williams, John Metchie (still waiting to see what they are capable of)

1. What are you basing it on? College or NFL?
2. Why are you putting two guys ahead of Cooper? Waddle and Smith only been in league for short time.
Jameson is suspended for 6 games I think.
Ridley is good, been inconsistent by injuries and mental health.
So again I'm trying to figure out what you are basing their potential on what? Skills? Position? QB?

In the title it says “entire career/projected career” meaning NFL as well.
Waddle and Smith are over Cooper and Ridley because they are clearly more talented imo. Waddle is crazy good and the talking heads are just starting to realize it. DeVonta won a Heisman and has improved from his rookie season in the pros.
Amari is a great WR but he’s peaked. DeVonta and Waddle are capable of 1500-2000 yard seasons in the future.
I think Waddle hits 2k this season.

If he broke 2k in the NFL once, it would be historical as it has never been done. If he did it multiple times, he’d be on the shortlist for best WR ever.

He’s got Hill to compete with, but Hill was on pace to hit 2000 before Tua got injured.
Hill will slowly regress as Waddle gets better. Players around the league said Waddle will be top 10 in 3 seasons and it’s his 3rd season this year.
He’s bulked up and continued to work on route running, and the chatter right now is that he’s on a different level.

That doesn't make sense.

I would put Waddle ahead of Julio.

What doesn’t make any sense? Waddle and DeVonta are projected to have a better career than Amari. Can’t say yet if they’ll surpass Julio, but if they continue to improve, in 2 seasons it might be safe to say they will.

Top is Amari and bottom is Waddle.
Waddle has already had a better season in his second year than Amari has ever had.

This is way off topic, but if you want to know how good Sauce Gardner is, look a Hill's stat line against the Jets. He tore up the league, but when Gardner was covering him he got 47 and 23 yards.
Hill's 4 games against the Jets and Bills, are why he was short of 2k yards.

Sauce Gardner was ranked second best CB in NFL. He’s legit

Tua wasn’t healthy for the Jets and Bills games.

Amari Cooper literally playing with absolute scrubs for offensive help and he still averaged a thousand yards throughout his career.
Amari Cooper’s best season in college, his QB was a converted RB for goodness sake.

I can relay a conversation I had with an SEC ref.... Did many many Alabama games...SEC championships etc.
I asked him what it's like having to cover ground when Jameson Williams is flying across the field / down the sidines. He said "Jameson is fast no doubt but waddle is the most dynamic player ive seen "

I’m telling you, Jaylen Waddle accelerates like a scared rabbit.
