To me the Chase's 40 and Smith's size are going to say a lot. There's reports that JC is running in the 4.4s. I must say that's quite the improvement from the 4.66 he ran coming out of High School.
Chase has good size but it's not elite. He is physical but how is that physicality going to translate into the NFL against grown men. I see JC's comp as DeAndre Hopkins and look for him to run a similar time, but if that 2nd digit is a 6 he will slide.
Smith's issue is size; it's his only weakness. If he can show up in the 180s and post a second digit or 4, many will put him at WR#1. My comp to Smith is Antonio Brown. Given Brown's was a little stockier but their games (to include PR skills) are similar.
So who do you want? DeAndre Hopkins or Antonio Brown? It's a good problem to have if we lean that way.
