Absolutely insane if you ask me lol. Harrison, Odunze, and Nabers are bonafide 1st rounders for me and I haven't even been that far into the tape.

I've got Harrison and Nabers.
not only are there more than 2 1st RD WRs, theres 3 top 10 grades lol
the 3 best players in the class might all be WRs lol
the only other RD 1 grade lock at WR i've got is brian thomas jr
that late 1st/early-mid 2nd round cluster of grades at WR is loaded but you're right that i think that maybe they arent first round types (right now) but some of them will certainly get picked in the 1st round

That's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to imply only 2 will get picked in RD1. But I see this as a deep class and not a top heavy one.
Right now I probably see it as
MHJ (5-10)
Nabers (10-15)
BTJ (15-20)
Xavier Legette (33-40)
Troy Franklin (33-40)
As my top 5.
where's odunze?
this class has 3 legit top 10 type guys - nabers and odunze would both be number 1 guys in most classes...
since 2012, i reckon only Sammy Watkins, Amari Cooper, Ja'marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle probably had higher grades than Nabers and Odunze would be up there too
in terms of grades:
MHJ and Nabers (top 5 grades, likely go top 10)
Odunze (top 10 grade, likely goes top 10)
BTJ (1st round grade, likely goes top 20)
and then ive got a bunch of guys that im waiting on testing to see if any slip into the late 1st round - Adonai Mitchell is my favourite of the chasing pack right now but i imagine franklin and some others will become "risers" when they blow the combine out of the water
Odunze behind Leggette and Franklin is wild my guy lol

@rossihunter2 @Simba
I legit forgot Odunze. He should be number number 4 for me. I do not see him as a top 10 guy. Even though again, I could absolutely see it happening. May even be probable.

why dont you see him as a top 10 type guy?
big, athletic, fluid with loose hips, body control, ball-tracking... and his biggest weakness in 2022, he dramatically improved in 2023 with his ability to win through contact on 50-50 type balls... like what more do you want out of a WR?

Oh you mfn right he knows and you know what that’s enough reason for me to turn on him already nvm
I need to watch more tape on him but he’s nice
Just not sure quite how high to put him
Thought I did. Round 2 player for me.
Recently learned about Tahj Washington and I am so in. He's exactly what I want in our offense.

So umm......yeah.....how about that Xavier Worthy guy?

The funny thing is - he looks even faster in games.
he's not just a track guy at all
he's been taking over games since his freshman year at texas
certainly not a complete guy - not aggressive or physical at the catch-point, didnt get to run a full route tree at texas
he's not going to win vs press much but he's not going to be drafted to be an x receiver so any team that does is wasting him - he's an obvious z/slot guy who you can scheme touches for, because he doesnt need a runway to house things, he makes his own space and can break tackles (he's not like hollywood in that respect, who i think he shares some similarities to coming out)
think with 4.21, a team probably takes a risk in the top 32 picks - he was someone i was hoping we'd have a chance at with pick 62 but we've got no chance now lol
he was a 2nd round guy before he ran a track time, he's still probably a 2nd round type guy just because he doesnt offer you x receiver qualities, he's a bit thin and not strong when challenged at the catch-point
