Pre-season, Rondale Moore is the easy choice for me. By a longshot.
Not sure I'd even include DPJ on this vote. Not just yet. However, if this new offense at Michigan is to be believed, DPJ might just find his name on this sort of list post-season. Don't think there's a WR in the entire conference with as much potential as him. Legit 6'2+ and 200+ lbs with legit 4.4 speed and 44" vertical. Receivers like that don't grow on trees ya know. There are very few athletes with that kind of size and speed and explosion. He made a huge leap from a frosh to soph, could definitely see an even bigger one from soph to jr and see his #'s skyrocket from 47-612-8 TDs to 70+, 1000+ and 12-15 TD's if they really open this thing up with Gattis and start slinging it all over the field.

Yeah, I don't understand the Tyler Johnson votes at all. This is as easy as it gets.

I might not vote for Johnson until we're a few of these deep.

I do. We had a couple of Minnie visitors on here this morning.

Moore is the easy pick but, Johnson was 2nd behind Moore last year with 89.9 yards per game
He had a good season and if the offense can settle on a QB....

Much like the Taylor vote for RB, Moore is the easy choice.
But as a Boiler, I'll give you the reason why he might drop quite a bit down the chart by the end of the year...
Last year the Purdue receiving corps was Moore, a couple decent TEs, and a collection of guys who were listed as WR. Which isn't to denigrate them. They were serviceable. But that's ALL they were; serviceable. They didn't demand attention from the opposing defense. They were able to catch the ball when opposing teams double-covered Rondale Moore.
Last year, Purdue had a class of true freshmen WR come in that were all--on paper--far more highly touted than the outgoing seniors, and all of them redshirted. Those guys are going to be ready to show up and explode.
This year, we have a class of true freshman WR coming in that eclipse not only all of those redshirted WR recruiting rankings, but two of them (David Bell and Milton Wright) have higher recruiting scores than Moore. Bell is the 5th-highest recruit in Purdue history, and Wright is 9th (Moore is 10th BTW). TJ Sheffield (a recruiting flip from Notre Dame) is about equal to the best non-Moore 2018 WR recruit as well.
Elijah Sindelar has a cannon on his shoulder--bigger arm BY FAR than David Blough. He can get the ball to those outstanding outside receivers. And if you try to focus on Moore, they'll burn you.
With the amount of talent coming in it's quite possible that Purdue will just spread the ball around too much for Moore to steal the show. They couldn't really do that last year.
