With the 2014 NFL Draft a little over a month away teams are starting to finalize their plans. With wide receiver a key position, many teams are looking to find the next star in this draft. This class is littered with receiving talent, and the obvious one to be drafted first appears to be Sammy Watkins, who many believe is the next star receiver, but which receivers can compete with him?

Kelvin Benjamin- FSU- Benjamin is one to watch, especially considering his unique size. Kelvin's strong, fast and of the bigger build, but he could be a fantastic receiver to pair alongside other talented receivers. Expect the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks to fight it out for Benjamin and he will thrive in an environment where little is expected of him.

Brandin Cooks- OSU- Cooks is fast and great and getting the ball and moving efficiently, so expect NFL teams to consider drafting him. He could fit in on a team like the Cleveland Browns or the Philadelphia Eagles, where both teams are in need of an extra receiver to help their stars.

Odell Beckham Jr- LSU- Beckham is one of the receivers many believe can go toe-to-toe with Sammy Watkins. Teams like the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins will look to add Odell to their ranks. With the right quarterback, Beckham can make as much impact as any rookie receiver.

Mike Evans- Texas A&M- Evans is a big receiver, that could provide and instant upgrade for many teams lacking a threat in their receiving position. He's used to the excitement of playing with Johnny Manziel, and he could easily adapt to many of the big league quarterbacks. Crying out for a team like the Seattle Seahawks.

All of these receivers are being tipped to be first-round picks, and they could compete with Clemson's Sammy Watkins, but it's still him that everybody that knows the NFL predicts to make a huge impact within the game during his rookie season.
