2013 Wide receiver draft class

Recently we highlighted (lowlighted) the 2012 draft class of running backs, a disappointing group that thus far has produced two solid starters in Alfred Morris and Lamar Miller, several question marks, and a lot of busts. Looking through the recent wide receiver classes, the picture isn't quite as bleak. Plenty of stars have come out of most of those drafts.

About the worst recent one seems to be 2013. The jury is still out on some of those receivers, but it doesn't seem too early to write a lot of them off. There are a few serviceable starters and a couple of standouts, but 2-3 years from now, there might be only one or two, at most, who attend multiple Pro Bowls.

The 2013 wide receiver draft class is presented below. Likely 2015 starters are in bold.
