It’s early. Rankings will change based on where guys are drafted and how they’ll be used. Some of these guys will be asked to be primary-type receivers from the git-go, while others will be brought along slowly in a reserve role, running a limited route tree.

But as of right now, these are my top 10 rookie receivers (based on how good I think they’ll be in their careers).

1. Kevin White, West Virginia
Same kind of size as Amari Cooper and definitely faster and more athletic. Top-10 pick. In terms of size and speed, he’s like another Terrell Owens or Andre Johnson. Caught 109 passes and 10 touchdowns last year, though that shouldn’t be overrated. Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey put up far superior numbers there and have done pretty much nothing in the pros. White is way bigger than those guys.

2. Amari Cooper, Alabama
Better college numbers and more polish than the last stud receiver to come out of that program (Julio Jones) but doesn’t have same raw ability. Probably will go in top 10. Caught 124 passes and 1,727 yards and 16 TDs last year.

3. Dorial Green-Beckham, Missouri
Didn’t even play last year. Kicked off Missouri team and wound up at Oklahoma (but didn’t play there). Major off-field concerns. But rare physical skill set. At 6-foot-5 and 237 pounds, he’s got the size of Plaxico Burress, Kelvin Benjamin or Mike Evans, but he’s faster than those guys. Runs a 4.45 and has shown ability to use his size to take the ball away from defenders. Dez Bryant (and others) aren’t poster boys off the field but have had nice careers.

4. Phillip Dorsett, Miami
Fastest receiver in the draft. Insane speed – 4.3. Think T.Y. Hilton and Santana Moss. On the small size, but speed kills. Caught 36 passes and 10 TDs last year.

5. Breshad Perriman, Central Florida

Big, fast receiver who piles up a lot of yards after the catch. Averaged over 20 yards per reception in each of the last two years, and he’s still getting better. Caught 39 passes and 4 TDs as a sophomore in Blake Bortles’ final season. Last year (with lesser quarterback) caught 11 more passes and 5 more touchdowns.

6. DeVante Parker, Louisville

Very productive at Louisville. Had double-digit touchdowns in 2012-13 and would have been there again last year if he hadn’t missed half the season. Averaged over 6 catches per game last year. He’s like Keenan Allen or Jordan Matthews in that he needs to get by on smarts and skills rather than freakish size or speed.

7. Devin Smith, Ohio State
Looks like a complementary receiver to me. Not a go-to guy, but a speed option to use on the other side. Doesn’t have elite-elite speed – runs 4.42 – but has shown some ability to adjust to the ball while it’s in the air. He caught only 33 passes last year, but he averaged 28.2 per catch and scored 12 touchdowns. Averaged over 20 yards in two of his other three years. Not that big. If he pans out, it could be as another Torrey Smith or Kenny Stills.

8. Sammie Coates, Auburn
Similar to Devin Smith. Doesn’t have special size or speed but is fast enough (4.43) that he could be a nice complementary deep threat. Averaged over 21 yards per catch in each of his last two years at Auburn, with 11 of those 76 catches going for touchdowns.

9. Jaelen Strong, Arizona State
Big, velocity-challenged receiver who’ll always have problems with separation. Hope is he’ll be another Anquan Boldin or Marques Colston.

10. Nelson Agholor, Southern Cal
Too much like Marqise Lee and Robert Woods, who also came out of the program. Polished, productive college receiver who doesn’t have enough athletic ability to ever be more than just a guy at the NFL level.
