Hard to pass up being a top 5 pick.

Big/small whatever.

Yep. Routes and hands matter most. Reid has had very few big WRs. Rashee is usually about his maximum.

Agreed.

He is talking today about staying because he came to OSU to beat Michigan and play in the Big 10 championship. Feels like he needs to complete his dream before going to the NFL.

I'll be shocked if he comes back.

I see. I think that's a bad decision career-wise.

Why postpone the majors to produce in the minors if you're already a lock for top 5.

Would be fun to have a Dez Bryant, DK Metcalf, Michael Thomas, or Mike Evans of our own.

This. WE may like them, but Reid does not.

Like O.City said - get open. Precise routes, good hands, good quickness. Reid will figure the rest out.

They're saying Harrison could get enough NIL $ that would basically be a first round pick amount.

I'd be shocked, but there's money everywhere.

The issue is the 2nd NFL contract is where he's gonna break it off and he needs to get in the league asap and start the clock on that.

Yeah, that's what everyone misses.

I think most of those "I could return" shit is laying the grounds for "I'm not going to the fuckhole Jets" or whatever.

Which at that point, just be open and honest in the combine meetings and go on about your business.

Trying to get those donors to pump up that NIL offer...

There's no salary cap at Ohio State.

Edit:

DAMMIT! O.City beat me to it.

I'm starting to come back around on Worthy as our guy. There was a lot of video on you twitter this morning about how our guys simply aren't reading coverage and are on the same page with Mahomes.

One thing Worthy exels at is knowing where to sit down in zone coverage and how to break his routes to be available for a pass. It's one thing we're seriously lacking this season.

He had the lowest drop rate in the Big XII this season and has shown some unexpected toughness later in the year.

We draft him and pair him up with Rice and someone like Darnell Mooney, and teams are back to having to cover every inch of the field against us.

Both Xavier's feel like boom or bust types currently.

Well if you want a sure thing you're going to need to trade into the top half of the first round.

I will say if a guy is a strong route runner, knows how to get open, and has decent hands with speed his floor is a lot higher than most...even if he is on the lighter side.
