I would prefer Hampton over Perry Thompson. Like the upside much more.

Mostly agree. The big, tall freakbeast WR is great in theory, but in practice the number of guys like that who are twitchy enough to effectively run the full route tree is miniscule. With how much DBs have been handcuffed by rules changes over the years a big body at WR just isn't as valuable as it used to be. The quicker players who run better routes are generally the best bets these days.

That being said, you do have to account for the Auburn melt if we victimize them yet again with a last minute flipmas miracle.
