Re-Drafting the Wide Receivers From the 2014 NFL Draft Using Advanced Analytics
In a loaded draft for wideouts, who will lay claim to the title of best pass-catcher in the class?

2. Mike Evans

CarAV: 26

Mike Evans has just a single Pro Bowl appearance (2016) to his name, but he rates ahead of all but one wideouts in the class due to his overall production so far.

In three seasons, Evans has never had less than 68 catches or 1,051 yards. And twice has he reached the 12 touchdown mark while averaging 5.2 receptions per game throughout.

Surprisingly, Evans' first 12-touchdown showing is the least valuable of his career. In each of the last two seasons, Evans has posted an AV of 10 after finishing with an AV of 7 in his rookie year. In 2015, Evans caught just three passes for scores, but he produced six catches per game in 2016 for a total of 96, 12 of which went for touchdowns.
