Comparing Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry to WRs in 2014 NFL Draft

Receiving Touchdowns
"Davante Adams: 62 Mike Evans: 61 Odell Beckham Jr: 51 Brandin Cooks: 40 Allen Robinson: 39 Jarvis Landry: 35 Sammy Watkins: 33 John Brown: 31 Jordan Matthews: 22 Donte Moncrief: 21"
If we would’ve done this list last season, then the list would have looked a little different. After his monstrous 18 touchdown season last year, Davante Adams has jumped into first place in his class by one touchdown.
Surprisingly enough, if you were asked to rank these guys in the NFL right now, this top 10 list is probably the order in which I would place them, except for moving Brandin Cooks to 6th and bumping Allen Robinson and Jarvis both up a spot.
Also surprising, for as much as Brandin Cooks has bounced around the NFL, he has been able to produce on each team he has been on. 40 touchdowns across four different NFL teams is an impressive feat itself, and when you consider he has had five different seasons of above a thousand yards in the NFL, one on each team, you might start to believe that he is a little underrated.
With that being said, I truly do wonder why he hasn’t been able to stick with one franchise for long. I know nothing about Brandin Cooks’ character, so it seems that he is really just super unlucky.
If Deshaun Watson plays this season for the Houston Texans, Brandin Cooks will likely be able to finally get some rhythm together again with yet another elite quarterback. Having spent his first four seasons with Drew Brees, and his fifth with Tom Brady, he has been pretty spoiled with quarterbacks.
