I agree he's not like Deebo. But my point was to say Bateman can act as your traditional number 1 and Addison can be your more specialized guy

100% - Johnston reminds me a ton of kevin white - huge potential, some elite (in Johnstown’s case maybe even generational) traits but also some huge question marks
Tillman feels like a guy who may get under drafted because of his age and a couple of other factors - but he does feel pretty safe to me on first watch
I mean I don’t see that sort of speed on tape so far - but if he runs *that* fast then I’ll have to go back and re-evaluate
If we’ve got a certain guy sure…
But right now I’d be shocked if Johnston, JSN and Addison are all gone before we pick
And could also see the ravens having big grades on someone like Josh downs or Kayshon boutte too…

Yeah I've got no idea if the Ravens even know the guy they want right now. So excited to see who the new OC is
My guess is it’s more likely Addison is like 5’11 165 tbh - college are more likely to inflate his height and weight to help him
Just don’t see a YAC threat the way Deebo is with Addison - think the other 2 are better after the catch tbh
Scheme may well dictate a ton here
Count me in the bust potential for Johnston. There's a lot to like and work with, but not confident it all translates. Kevin White was my first thought as well.
On Addison... not in size and physical makeup, but I came away thinking of Amari Cooper during my first glance. Just a smooth operator in nearly all of the skills.

I’m well aware that colleges inflate measurables but I’m definitely not seeing 165 with Addison.
DeVonta came in at 6’ 175 and Addison is absolutely not as thin as him. I’m assuming his measurables are accurate.

Completely agree. Johnston gives me Kevin White and Laquon Treadwell vibes
He was 170lbs at his pro day and didn’t measure at the combine fyi
But I also don’t think Addison was as tall as smith was…
He certainly doesn’t play as big as Devonta did/does
Too much of a freak to be treadwell i think
If I could be more confident in Johnstown’s hands I’d be all over him as a top 10 like prospect - still has some route running to learn but the kinds of traits and film that suggests he’d be good at worst and incredible at best
But the hands…

I appreciate the information I missed that part but I think that just further helps my point. No way Addison comes in under 170. He’s thicker than Smith (no gay shit, flex and sizzle lol) However, I do agree that he doesn’t play as big as Smith but we don’t need him to imo

Yeah, I wasn’t necessarily comparing their draft profiles just the hype they came in with as big WRs.
I hope Johnston blows up the combine and goes before us because I’m not a fan at all

Check out Josh Downs. I think they play similarly but Downs is better imo
Want to be clear that all of my thoughts right now are quick pass than anything intensive.
If I had to guess, I think they'll be rated similarly based on that quick look. Felt Flowers had more inside/outside versatility but Downs seems more physical despite the size. Definitely two that I'm looking forward to doing a deep dive on.
Think downs has got an extra gear too
