The 1st Round WR class should be Harrison Jr, Nabers, Odunze, Thomas Jr, and Franklin. You know Worthy is going to get in there because of speed even if he's kind of teetering on that edge. All these other guys getting 1st round buzz just don't have 1st round-caliber production and it matters in my opinion.
I won't be anywhere near consensus, I'm sure of that.
Round 1
01. Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State
02. Rome Odunze, Washington
03. Malik Nabers, Louisiana State

Round 2
07. Adonai Mitchell, Texas
08. JaLynn Polk, Washington

33. Ryan Flournoy, Southeast Missouri State
Baker, Mckonkey and Pearsall are kind of a group for me and I kind of like Brendan Rice's highs enough to move him closer to the front of that tier 4 but I like this list a lot more than most of what's out there by the "Pros" right now. This feels like the most accurate Keon Coleman and Leggette list ive seen. So many People trying to push them to the top of tier two.
I don’t disagree with the production argument but many of these teams are drafting based on traits and ad Mitchell has all the traits but obviously needs refinement. He’s big and fast and has great hands. I’m guessing the bills take him in round 1. AD Mitchell checks a lot of boxes and with what WRs make now, it’s a valuable position, especially with teams anticipation of Justin Jefferson’s new deal that will reset the market. He might be the highest paid non qb. I wouldn’t be surprised with 7 or 8 WRs in round 1, and probably 15 in the first 2 rounds. [Reply]
Personally, I don't have any major quarrels with your list DJ.
Neyor did transfer to Nebraska though. I thought Walley was going back to school but I haven't paid that much attention because I consider him a PFA. [Reply]
Yeah, if we go WR in 1, I think Mitchell is probably the guy I'd want. I'm not eager to trade up to 20 to get Thomas and I prefer Mitchell over Franklin and Worthy.
I'm admittedly being something of a measurables whore there, but I've never shied away from that accusation when it comes to WRs. Give me tools at the WR position and more often than not I'll come away happy when it's all said and done. [Reply]

Yeah - I have a tendency to lose track of guys this late in the process. Did Neyor declare and then go back? I remember early in the process seeing him as a guy that might've gotten lost in the wash behind Worthy and Mitchell and thought he might be worth a late look.
Seems he had the same thought I did. I think there's more there than he was able to show. [Reply]
FYI Jermaine Burton is going to fall. He’s the classic prospect everyone thinks will go decently high but fall like a rock.
Jermaine Burton is off at least two teams’ boards for various character-related issues and could face an agonizing drop in the draft per McGinn via @GoLongTDhttps://t.co/uvJsJahbO4
Dane Brugler on the Athletic Football Podcast on Jermaine Burton “The talent’s there. It’s a matter of consistency on and off the field. He’s been to 6 schools in 8 years. As one NFL scout put it, he was on the shit list of the coaches of both Georgia and Alabama”
That's interesting re: Mitchell. Keeping his blood sugar level during a game should be something an NFL staff can handle better than a college one. You do wonder if MAYBE some of the lackadaisical effort you see at times is related to that.
DJ, crow, re: Jermaine Burton, if he was less of a shit-head, do you slot him higher?
I think he's a round 2 talent with character concerns that drop him a round or 2. [Reply]
