With the Texans pick, Miami feels like the landing spot for Smith or Waddle. Dolphins need weapons and there's obviously the familiarity with Tua.
Chargers are another team that I can see going WR early. The Chiefs are the class of that division, you have to be able to keep pace. The Chargers have some pieces. One of Smith/Waddle/Chase to go along with Herbert, Ekeler, Williams, Allen could lead to some really fun AFC West shootouts.

I highly suggest you take a good look at Jonathan Adams from Arkansas State. He could end up being a second round pick and I wouldn't bat an eye.

big big big fan. hes extremely well rounded. great size, length, alpha mentality, excellent hands, natural catcher with his body control and ball tracking and sense of positioning/leverage, plus athlete, sharp route runner, verticals, comes back to the ball, downhill runner and all around good YAC weapon.
i havent watched him deeply enough to see the nuance and the craft in his routes, but watching highlights and a few pass throughs on game tape, these things REALLY jump off the film. i think hes a great fit for what we need, terrace marshall is another guy who is really worth a good look.
He's easy to love. He does pretty much everything well except for the speed part. Not that he's slow, just not running away from people. That's fine, a lot of receivers have produced in the league with average speed. He can create separation as long as you feature him with a variety of routes. Think if a slower but bigger McLaurin.
Cornell Powell - senior bowl invite has made big plays in recent weeks in big moments
His route running is showing up today on multiple occasions
will be one to watch during senior bowl practices

that would be very exciting
I thought Adams too when I watched him last year, but since Adams has been stupid good this year that comp was off the table.

jaelon darden gives me serious Iverson vibes, that kid looks like he could be S P E C I A L as F U C K with his innate elusiveness reminiscent of a lamar jackson(seriously, his elusiveness is up there, its special and its just natural to him) and a steve smith sized chip on his shoulder, teammates seem to love him and hes just got a different kind of swag about him, again like a steve smith cocky in a good way kinda thing.
i know a lot of that is abstract shit that has no real bearing lol but you just pick up on things like that, and then i read that he plays pissed off because he was rejected from a lot of schools because of his size or something

So i started properly going to the tape and actually analysing some of these guys properly and because he went down with the injury after only 4 games I forgot just how incredible Jaylen Waddle's explosion is - like i intuitively knew it was ridiculous but until i actually watched it again i forgot how unreal he is
and he knows how to use his athleticism so well - he attacks DBs to put them in conflict with the understanding that he's setting them up and he absolutely destroys people at all 3 levels of the defence

For those interested, here's a cut-up of every single Ja'marr Chase press rep vs Bama (in all-22)
Just here to Say I'm very very high on Dazz Newsome.
I really like Rashod Bateman
- nuanced route runner - constantly challenging the DB's feet and their leverage through all the elements of the route
- elusive in the open field (albeit not crazy long speed)
- great at the catch point and makes some outrageous catches

just something to consider - speed is great but ultimately quickness, burst and route running are way more important especially when we're talking about man coverage
at least that's what i think
now if speed is a tool you use to create separation (by threatening corners over the top and getting them to turn or panic) then great
