Ja'Marr Chase and Devonta Smith will be this year's AJ Green and Julio Jones (not because of their similarities, but because they're both top 5 value picks at WR in the same year).
It'll be interesting to see where they go. I do think Smith's stock will take a hit in February because he apparently does not run a low 4.4 40 (somewhere in the high 4.4s or low 4.5s is what people are expecting). If he runs a, say, 4.51, I think he falls behind Chase (assuming Chase does run a 4.40 as expected).
If they are both there at 5 and Sewell is gone and no OT prospect has risen to be considered a top 5 or top 10 talent (or if we find some Oline help in free agency), it'd be a tough call. I think I would still take Chase though. What he and Burrow did was incredible in 2019 and he fills the hole left by Green perfectly.
But if we end up picking Smith, I wouldn't be upset at all, especially since I know ZT will gauge Burrow in regards to who he would prefer. If Burrow picks Smith over his former teammate, that's an endorsement that no one should ignore.
