Who will be Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff’s #1 Wide Receiver?

Pharaoh Cooper South Carolina (WR)

The Rams have a clear need for help in the slot. Stedman Bailey is recovering from two gunshot wounds to the head, as we are hopeful Bailey will be back on the field. However, the Rams do need help on that side, and South Carolina used Cooper all over the field last year. Austin and Cooper can be used in the same packages, as both have the ability to turn a short 3 yard catch into a 50 yard touchdown. Given the opportunity to compete at a slot spot, Cooper may ease his way into the Rams first string rotation. Last year Cooper had 66 receptions for 973 yards along with 8 touchdowns.

Mike Thomas Southern Miss (WR)

Thomas could be a huge sleeper in the Rams offense. In his senior year at Southern Miss, Thomas collected 71 receptions for 1,391 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015. He was the leader of the offense and can use his 6’1 200 pound frame to avoid tackles across the defense. According to Pro Football Focus, their team of evaluators released its list of the top 10 sleeper picks of the 2016 NFL draft as Thomas checked in at No. 3 on the list. Thomas had their 11th highest receiving grade of all the wideouts in this year’s class. He won’t be the #1 WR to start, but can prove the doubters wrong in 2016

Duke Williams Auburn (WR)

This is a huge wild card, but might as well take a chance with Williams who does have the talent. Williams has told the media, he has 1st round talent, but his off field and character makes him a later round guy. One of his few stories was D’haquille “Duke” Williams punching two security guards, a bartender assistant and another unidentified patron of a bar in Auburn following the Tigers’ win over San Jose State, according to two employees who spoke exclusively to AL.com. I don’t see Williams with the team next year, have him on the practice squad and shape him back into his old self.
