Garrett Wilson Top-5 Prospect?

Per Jordan Schultz:

"Wilson, according to one GM I spoke with, is one of the best receivers I've evaluated over the past five years. Speed, route-running, hands, can break the game open at any time."

*Should note that every team went to his pro day.

DAYUM, that video set my loins aquiver! Man has it all, speed, crisp routes, intelligence, work ethic. Maybe the Texans will want to trade up to # 6 to get ahead of ATL. I kinda like Byrd being one of their starting WR's this year.

History tells us that some of those guys will bust and some will disappoint. Happens every year. Even at the top of the list. Nothing is written into stone which is why they are each studied and scrutinized so thoroughly and even then, teams miss all the time. Some more than others but everyone misses. Hopefully, we get ours right.

Walker going #1 overall would almost assure us an OT.  Texans or Jets taking any other position besides OT means at least one falls to us.  I'm hoping the rumors that the Giants are infatuated with Cross are true.  While he has the biggest upside, he's still the rawest of the big 3 and thus the most room to bust of the OTs.  Neal has the highest floor, but also the lowest ceiling. Ickey falls in the middle of the three. He's got some growing to do and thus hasn't hit his ceiling, but his tape shows that he's at least solid day 1 starter at LT.

Field Yates is one of the most connected insiders covering the NFL.

 

This is gonna be fun haha, and it starts with the first pick.  There is seriously not a single pick I can really see set.  Even #1 sounds between 2-4 prospects depending on the source.  

See some claiming Icky is in the conversation, Neal, and then the Aiden vs. Walker report.

This could be bonkers.

Steelers are said to be sniffing around at the Giants #7 pick.  You almost have to assume a QB.  Willis or Pickett?  I think the Pickett love is smoke and it's Willis.  Pickett may even be there at #20, Willis won't be, and Atlanta (#8) seems curious about Willis, not Pickett.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
