Comparing Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry to WRs in 2014 NFL Draft
By Mitch Zoloty
Pro Bowl Appearances
"Jarvis Landry: 5 Davante Adams: 4 Mike Evans & Odell Beckham Jr: 3 Allen Robinson: 1 Everyone else: 0"
Overall Average Ranking:
"Odell Beckham Jr: 3.89 Mike Evans: 4.11 Brandin Cooks: 4.22 Davante Adams: 5.33 Jarvis Landry: 6 Allen Robinson & Sammy Watkins: 7 John Brown: 8.44 Jordan Matthews: 8.78 Martavis Bryant: 9.11"
Overall, Odell Beckham, Jr. ended up being the number one receiver in this class comparison. Now, when looking at this list, this definitely wouldn’t be my list to rank them in terms of talent in the NFL right now. It’s undeniable that Mike Evans and Davante Adams have been on a different level recently, especially last season. However, when looking at their entire careers, this is pretty accurate.
Only five receivers in this class have Pro Bowl appearances, and Jarvis dominates them with five. That further adds to my argument for him eventually being a Hall of Famer, especially if he ever wins a super bowl ring.
When it’s all said and done, when every receiver on this list is retired, I think you can legitimately see four to five of these guys in the NFL hall of fame. Mike Evans, Davante Adams, Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham Jr, and even possibly Brandin Cooks have all been building their resumes pretty nicely.
I’d rank their probabilities in that order also, as even though he has been consistently great his entire career, Cooks just doesn’t have the accolades that the rest of the group does.
Who knows, maybe the Texans can turn things around and Brandin Cooks can get a Super Bowl ring to boost up his resume, or maybe he gets traded yet again and lands on another competitor.
