Was talking about Franklin
that makes more sense to me lol
i like franklin, just think he's limited in his route tree and not consistent at the catch-point - think he's definitely a guy that goes late 1/early 2 but idk that he's the kind of guy who we'd have no shot at in the back end of R1...
just the opposite of last year

Yeah you're probably right. He's probably a late RD1 guy
maybe a team falls in love with him and decides to eschew the other guys but based on what ive seen so far, there's 7 guys i wouldnt hate taking in the 1st round at WR and 6 of them are 6'2+ and at least 3 of them are pretty freakish with their vertical speed
gonna be hard for him to prove to teams that he's a cut above brian thomas or xavier legette or adonai mitchell as WR4
also possible some team falls in love with keon coleman or tez walker too...

Could see Coleman. Tez I'm not so sure. It's gonna be a cool draft for sure.
i think he's fine
got some nouse as a route runner vs zone albeit not much of a man-beater, decent after the catch and some medium explosion, willing blocker
got him in the 3rd round right now but possible he moves down (dont think he'll move up from there for me) when i turn all these preliminary grades into something more concrete later in the process

He's one of the guys I'm eying up that if he's there in the 4th (mayyybeee the 3rd) and we haven't got a WR I could really like.
i dont think of either of those guys that highly but just another example of some athletic big bodied guys that franklin has to differentiate himself from to get picked that high
my concern would be that he's probably not a great fit in the offence - a lot of the routes he'd be running are the kinds of routes we like to have zay and mandrews run

That's very true. I think he'd kill in that role. But I agree with Zay here it's a bit undifferentiated
i also just dont think he fits the profile of the kind of guy that EDC and the ravens have traditionally liked (at least in the first 2 days of the draft)

Thank you!
xavier worthy feeks kinda like hollywood with 3 extra inches of height... not sure what to do with that in terms of grading lol

You think? I don't think he's probably as fast as Hollywood. Not saying he's slow by any means. He also doesn't shy away from contact nearly as much as Hollywood did/does imo. Also he was definitely a deep threat but he was used a ton in short game stuff. I feel like OU Hollywood was like a way bigger time deep threat.
Like maybe he's a little bit taller, little bit slower, little bit more physical Hollywood-Lite?
Hollywood was my fav WR in that draft. Evidently should have been the other Brown but alas. I don't think Worthy is a 1st round pick...
my two favorites were Hollywood or AJ Brown.
i mean i think worthy might be faster than hollywood tbh - i think the thing that made hollywood a 1st rounder was his ability to beat press on the outside and idk that ive seen anything like that from worthy on tape
