In another thread, how good Thomas is or might be has been being debated
Here are the receivers considered first round talents next year
Jerry Jeudy, Alabama
Tee Higgins, Clemson
Laviska Shenault, Colorado

Also here is info on the rest of the receivers considered the most draftable. Notice Jeff Thomas is not even on a radar right now.
Must be earned. Thinking someone is great does not = great

- Jerry Jeudy*, WR, Alabama
Height: 6-1. Weight: 192.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2020): 1-2.
2/8/19: NFL scouts who were attending Alabama's practices in the fall of 2017 told me that Jeudy was the next great Crimson Tide receiver to keep the tradition going under Nick Saban that has seen elite receivers like Julio Jones, Amari Cooper and Calvin Ridley dominate the competition. As a freshman, Jeudy totaled 14 receptions for 264 yards and two touchdowns. He was just scratching the surface and dominated as a sophomore. In 2018, Jeudy recorded 68 receptions for 1,315 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has quality size but is very fast and a threat to score on any reception.
Collin Johnson*, WR, Texas - Height: 6-5. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
2/8/19: In 2018, Johnson had 68 catches for 985 yards and seven touchdowns. He possesses mismatch size, but he does not play as big as he should. He doesn't bully corners or do as well as one would expect at leaping to high point the ball over receivers. Johnson has some quickness, and he can sink his hips better than one would expect for such a big receiver. He has issues tracking the ball and playing it in the air, but he has some impressive movement skills for a big wideout. According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources prior to the 2018 season, Johnson checks in at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in 4.55 seconds. His measurements are 32.63-inch arms, 9-inch hands, and a 79-inch wing span.
Johnson flashed in 2017 with 54 receptions for 765 yards and two touchdowns. He was very impressive against USC and its talented cornerback Iman Marshall. Johnson had 28 catches for 315 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman.
- Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado
Height: 6-2. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
2/8/19: Shenault was one of the top wide receivers in 2018, totaling 86 receptions for 1,011 yards with six touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder is the No. 1 receiver for Steven Montez and has made the Buffaloes quarterback look good at times.
- Kendrick Rogers, WR, Texas A&M
Height: 6-3. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
2/8/19: Rogers had 21 receptions for 292 yards and four touchdowns in 2018 and dealt with some injuries, but he flashed a lot of talent. He was very impressive against Clemson in Week 2 and showed a lot of upside. Rogers has good size and uses it well. In 2019, he could develop into a dangerous wide receiver.
- Henry Ruggs III*, WR, Alabama
Height: 6-0. Weight: 183.
Projected 40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round (2020): 1-2.
2/8/19: Ruggs (6-0, 183) goes under the radar some because of Jerry Jeudy and other Alabama play-makers, but Ruggs is a dangerous receiver who produces big plays. In 2018, he totaled 46 receptions for 741 yards and 11 touchdowns. At just about any other school, Ruggs would be the No. 1 wide receiver and produce a huge stat line, especially if he played in the Big XII.
