The Bears might be in position to draft Harrison with their own pick. I think they just had a pretty shitty draft, I have them as one of my big losers. Trading out of the Jalen Carter pick to take a RT then subsequently drafting DT with 2 of your next 3 picks is weird to me. And the top DT they got is a guy with questionable motor. Didn’t get Fields much help. Just a weird draft to me after you commit to Fields by trading out of the first pick.

Taking Wright over Skronski and Broderick is foolish. Wright has a similar profile to Teven Jenkins. So dumb.

He’s the best WR prospect since Chase and a future All-Pro. 

I’d mostly agree but his game hasn’t been scrutinized yet because he’s not draft eligible. Again, my biggest knock in the kid right now is when you look at the last like 4-5 top WRs to come from OSU it feels like he gets the least separation of the bunch.

Which ironically should give more credit to stroud for putting the ball where Harrison could make catches. It will be interesting to see  him match or improve his production next year with a new QB.

As of right now I do give more credit to Stroud.

I've got to admit next year may be a my favorite since we don't have a first rounder.  Once we we traded for the #1 pick this year, I basically tuned out the draft.  I knew it would turn into a #1 pick circus...and it did. 

Next year's draft will back to the serious draft folks.

I am so ready for our first round pick to the Bears to be in the 20s so bears fans will STFU about us handing them Marvin Harrison Jr. 

All I know is we better not end up giving a Top 10 pick in the end, especially with how good next year's QB class is, as long as we're giving them something in the teens I'll be happy.

But the funny thing is that the Texans very well may have given away their best chance at landing Harrison to pair with Stroud by giving up their 1st rounder to get Anderson.  

Still makes no sense to me, do they really expect to be better than the Browns?  Should have given up the pick they got in the Watson deal and keep their own 1st next year instead.

I know it's a biased pick since I'm an Arizona alum, but I'm really hoping we can land Jacob Cowing in like the 3rd round next year, I think he'd be a great slot to pair with Mingo and hopefully TMJ if he can take a leap this year.

He had 69 catches for 1,354 yards two years ago at UTEP and then transferred to Arizona and had 85 catches for 1,034 yards this past year with 7 TDs in each season.

He just stood out in every game, super crisp route running, great hands, and a YAC monster.

He's a prototypical NFL Slot WR

I agree they are getting universally praised for taking a guy who looked like poo all of his college career outside of last year at RT and a DT who has bust written all over him

He’s significantly bigger than those OSU WRs. He reportedly ran a 4.46 in high school and I’m sure he isn’t slower now. I also think he draws the most attention from opposing defenses compared to the others, and he still dominates.

Who knows if he will even be the top in class next year? So much changes every year and Harrison made spectacular catches on highlights but the truth is he’s often not gaining separation against college corners, which is why they require highlight throws and catches. 

ehhhh I think he's pretty damn good, you're 100% right so much changes between now and then though
