Reid On The 27 Draft
God help me if I have to dive into this QB class.

• Julian Sayin, Ohio State • LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina These were the two QBs that had the most polarizing opinions among scouts that I’ve spoken with this summer.

Jeremiah Smith posted the 2nd highest residual (27.4% above expected) last season for draft-eligible wide receivers when looking at an ADoT vs. Reception Rate regression. 99th Yards per Route Run 99th Reception Rate 92nd Yards After Catch Jeremiah Smith has been the hottest WR name since stepping onto the field. Fairly easy to see why... #NFLDraft | @OhioStateFB | @Jermiah_Smith1

"He's Julio Jones all over again." "[Smith is] big, fast, strong, and he has Pro Bowl potential as a rookie." Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith is already receiving high praise and earned one of the highest summer grades ever from NFL evaluators. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2027/story/_/id/49351347/2027-nfl-draft-hype-good-class-historic-quarterbacks-receivers-edge-rushers

Probably no longer first in explosive runs.

Saw Duff against Penn State last year. He’ll be top 15-20 by year’s end.

Mr Smith might be in rarified air next draft...
WR's Drafted First Overall
Keyshawn Johnson: Selected 1st overall by the New York Jets in the 1996 NFL Draft.
Irving Fryar: Selected 1st overall by the New England Patriots in the 1984 NFL Draft.
Dave Parks: Selected 1st overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1964 NFL Draft.

I like Toney an awful lot too...So reminiscent of Tyreek, but he's no Jeremiah Smith.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Last WR this hyped was MHJ. Can’t help but to have this nagging feeling he is on the same path.

You think so huh?!
Man, this kid reminds me of some of the greats...

Wouldn’t be the first time my gut was wrong. He’s just too similar to MHJ to not raise an eyebrow for me. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the tougher matchups this season.

Jeremiah Smith looks special. I was super high on Nabers a couple years ago. Jeremiah Smith seems so much more than Nabers and that is saying something.
Texas WR Cam Coleman: 13 Contested Catches Last Season MOST Among All SEC Wide Receivers🤘 @TexasFootball

So, can’t separate or tough at the catch point?

Right? This stat always confused me. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it a QB thing or a WR thing?

Seems to be missing that last gear.
