that surprises me - he’s got some amazing traits but he’s also got tons of reps where he’s lazy and tons where he’s completely pressed into oblivion...

like I’ve got no problem with anyone who has him number 1 at all (and I still go back and forth with the top 4 guys)... but it would surprise me if everyone does have him number 1...certainly.

I hear you! But hasn't DJ been relatively reliable? Idk he just seemed extremely confident saying it on Path to the draft. Hes clearly gifted and if a ton of people think he's the best, even if he isn't, it might make it a race to the top for him.

I would agree and it's not ALWAY or EVERYONE almost 'all' the time. I would have some teams liking Waddle and other teams liking Smith better. Just depends on what they like in the receiver the most.

Last year I shouldn't have been surprised that Ruggs came off the board first. Even though Al Davis isn't alive, the legend lives on in that pick. 'Speed'

which is why i would not be surprised at all if many front offices had Waddle or Devonta over Chase - waddle has the sort of electric straight-line speed that ruggs had but is a better overall receiving prospect - and devonta's an elite route-running college prospect who's also got tons of speed and pace and quickness (literally all he's missing is about 15 lbs of weight)

it would surprise me but it wouldn't completely shock me if there was a team that had bateman 1st on their board either... he's got a similar frame to chase, but he's a much better route-runner - chase is probably more athletic after the catch (chase is truly electric after the catch) but it would not shock me if bateman's technical refinement and frame had him rated over the other 3 guys on someone's board

i think you could make a convincing case about any of those 4 guys (smith, chase, waddle, bateman) for being the 1st ranked WR on the board - what's been clear to me for a while though is that kyle pitts is the best receiver in this draft lol even if he's not designated as a WR

Anyone watch March Madness? Gonzaga joins the 2007 Patriots after winning every game prior, they lose the one that matters most. I wonder how many people had Baylor as National Champions on their brackets?

Coming off that Gonzaga OT thriller, this game was a massive let down.

A lot of people had Baylor as national champions on their brackets. They were the #2 overall team coming into the tournament.

Imagine rooting for a team that's prospering this season. I can't relate to this.

Who's your go to for hockey? Hopefully one more cup before Ovi retires.

Even though i hate the Os management and a 90 loss season is likely on it's way. I'll be at as many game as i can when they come to Tampa rocking my Ripken jersey.

They embarrass me to the point where I don't even want to say the team. But I'll give you a hint, we play in the West division.
