Who is the Best WR?

Feel free to comment and chip in your thoughts and opinions. Today, I'm going to ask a very basic question: who is the best WR in the NFL right now? I'll give my answer and also outline a top 5 listing.

1. Calvin Johnson

Megatron had a monster year in 2012, breaking the single-season yardage record with 1,964 yds. He also had 122 catches and 5 tds, despite being hurt all season. Can't argue with Megatron as the number 1 pick.

2. A.J. Green

Green has phenomenal hands. For some odd reason, he dropped 10 passes in 2012. Despite the drops, Green had 11 tds, 1,350 yds, and 97 rec in 2012. Great numbers. But with Green, it's not just about the numbers. Like Megatron, Green can draw double-teams and stretch the defense. His impact goes beyond the stats.

3. Dez Bryant

Yes, I firmly believe that Dez Bryant is not only in the top 5, he may potentially become the best wr in the NFL soon. For starters, let me address Bryant's mental issues. He hits his mom, which is a no-no. He drops the ball frequently, which is surprising because he has great hands (mainly due to concentration issues). He also forgets plays and causes interceptions because of mis-communication. With all the being said, Dez still had a great year in 2012, finishing with 92 recs, 1,382 yds, and 12 tds. Incredible. Bryant is 6'2'' 225, and boy can he move! He is a match-up nightmare and can leap over DB's for jump-balls. Similar to Johnson and Green, Bryant is also a physical specimen who commands double-teams. None of the 3 wr's I've mentioned so far have great QB talent. Yet they are still producing well. In 2013, I expect a more mature and focused Bryant. The NFL could be in trouble.

4. Wes Welker

I'm as pissed as anyone that the man left New England. Okay, I was actually a little bit happy at the time, because Welker pissed me off with all of his key drops. Still, you can't argue his importance in the offense. In Denver, Welker should continue to put up monster numbers. His 2012 stats looked like this: 118 recs, 1,354 yds, and 6 tds. Welker is an incredibly intelligent player who will always keep the offense moving. He's a nightmare to cover in the slot, mainly due to his exceptional quickness and high football IQ.

5. Brandon Marshall

Marshall had a great year reuniting with Cutler, finishing the season with 118 recs, 1,508 yds, and 11 tds. Simply put, Marshall was damn good during the 2012 season. The Bears offense was anemic at times, due to the lack of weapons. Other than Matt Forte or Marshall, nobody on the Bears' offense could consistently be a play-making threat. I expect Marshall to have another monster year in 2013.

Notable cuts: Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, Michael Crabtree, Larry Fitzgerald, Percy Harvin, and Roddy White.
