Hopkins or Floyd

Ppr who and why

Hopkins is this years Floyd. Similar players and both are opposite elite WRs. I like them both equally.

Hopkins

^ because I think he is an overall better WR prospect.

Time will tell...Floyd was the 13th pick and Hopkins was the 27th pick...Both are talented. Hopkins is on the better team...I can say that without question.

I like what I see in Hopkins. Floyd could definitely be the real deal though. Look what no QB did to fitzy.

Tough call, but I'd go Floyd. I don't like Schaub, I think Palmer does well this year with actual weapons to work with. I like AZ passing game long-term better than Houston, which I think could fold if Foster goes down to injury. But either way, you'd be getting a great young prospect.

Skill and situation may be similar but Hopkins has way more value as the new toy.

How is Arizona better long term??

And Andre Johnson was still elite before Foster showed up.

They have a stronger set of receivers. I love the Fitz-Floyd-Roberts trio, I think Floyd has better potential with AZ than Hopkins with Houston. Schaub doesnt have much more time left than Palmer anyways, and AZ will probably be in a good position to draft a great QB prospect next year out of a class expected to be much deeper. If Arians sticks around, they'll be sure to air it out. So yeah, I like AZ passing game better long term than Houston.

Hopkins......he'll start at the #2 right out the gate for Houston. Floyd couldn't achieve that in his first year and it wasn't like he was going against the best WR corps in the league. I still think Floyd's a solid prospect though. I just think Hopkins has a better head on his shoulders and is more NFL ready. Plus the guy can make the tough catches. I see them performing about even this year despite the difference in experience.

Hopkins..

These two WRs are both so similar, it almost becomes a pick'em. In this case I think owners would be forced to look at the intangibles. Offensive line, QB, scheme, etc. I think Floyd is a year mature to Hopkins so his produce may be slightly better having a better understanding of the playbook... However its really personal choice. Hopkins is the flavor of the month currently.

I agree very close together but AZ just turns me off to pretty much any player they have. They have brought in savior type coaches before and still are not a very good team..I want to own no one on that team( I have been burnt more than once by Cards players.) until they prove ownership can stay out of the way..

The reason is close is because Schaub is on a massive decline. In a year 2 max, he'll be comparable to how McNabb was. Don't believe Yates is the answer either. Palmer may have a year up on Schaub, but same scenario.

Schaub will bounce back this year in large part due to Hopkins.

Ya I don't see Schaub's decline as being his fault, more of a shift of offensive mentality. I think Foster goes down sooner than later and that offense becomes more passer oriented. Long term between the Arizona and Houston situation is arguable, but I feel like Hopkins gives you WR2 production a few years earlier than Floyd due to the presence of Fitzgerald and the terrible O line in Arizona. Long term I can see them both being about the same value, but there's a reason why Hopkin's ADP is higher - it's because he will make an impact on your team sooner in my opinion.

Hard to argue these points.
