“Best WR prospect since Julio”

Set SEC records for Yards and TD’s at 19. NINETEEN.

9.81 RAS

Yeah, “nothing special” LOL

I will say this and yes I'm team Sewell but yes I will still pull for Chase if he is the pick.

Every year we get told this player is the best since blah..blah..blah.

Literally last year, it was Burrow is the best QB to come out since Luck and... Herbert matched him.

This year, it's already out there multiple times, Lawrence is the best QB since Luck... so we skipped over Burrow and Herbert.

Last year they were comparing Jerry Jeudy to Julio Jones, it's just what the draft people do to get clicks and we all buy into it and go into a frenzy over this guy or that guy.

Reality. Chase will be good, Sewell will be good, Pitts will good. Of the three, I would say Pitts will be the best at this position from this draft in 5 years but even he might be surpassed by someone.. just not sure who.

Sewell might be outperformed by Slater or Darrisaw or Cosmi.

Chase might be outperformed by Marshall Jr, or Waddle or Dyami Brown (The legend grows)

It's literally a crap shot. Chase could blow out his knee week one of the pre-season and be the next Ki-Jana Carter just as quick as he could be the next Jones.

The reason I've downplayed him is just seeing guys who have a ton of upside in later rounds and feeling OL is in a worse spot.

Team Chase people are the exact opposite. They see tons of upside in OL guys in later rounds and think the WR group is worse then the OL group.

It's all subjective and the real truth, NO ONE on this board has a clue how it will go. We have opinions and beliefs from what we see and read, but if any of us got it right every time, we wouldn't be on a message board debating, we'd be working for some NFL team, Network, etc...


I feel like that is what is getting lost in the grand debate. No one is actually wrong. It is literally how they view the team, the prospects and the greater need. Willing to bet most teams big boards are similar but they certainly will have different grades on different guys.

Personally, I like Cosmi or Cartman as Day 2 OL guys but would not want to see Leatherwood, or Jenkins here. Again, I might be wrong on all four, might be right, it's just based off what I've seen and read.
