NFL Draft Best WR prospect in the upcoming draft? (1 Viewer)

[BayouSAINTJoe]

He wasn't my guy, that's a tough break. How do you think that effects teams selections at WR. I think it goes Wilson, Burks, Olave, London now.

Yeah...its going to cause someone to reach in rd1 for a rd2 talent

But, this is just the kind of player the Saints seem to like. I think he's their #1.

We're going to go for him and Metchie

NFL Draft: 2022 NFL Mock Draft - Wide Receivers Go QUICK

Burks is being mocked no higher than 23rd. and as low as 29th. There must be a reason he will be the 3rd WR taken on draft day. With his size and speed he should be a top ten pick.

Hard pass on Wiiliams. The zoom in on the injury showed his leg size. He has twigs probably smaller than Burks' arms. That's a big red flag to me. Looked like RG3 legs.

I’m with you on this. Williams little Bambi legs aren’t going to cut it in the NFL.

Did you not click the link? The mock in the link has Burks as the 1st WR off the board at 11 which in the mock is to the Saints.

Can you explain? I'm not sure I get the connection.
Are you thinking he won't hold up or more susceptible to injury?

What I did was pull up mock drafts looked at the first five, and no one had Burks coming off the board before the 23rd pick. Burks may get drafted higher because Williams had an ACL, but not worth a top ten pick. He won't be there when we pick anyway.

They said the same thing about Devonta Smiths legs...he'll be fine

Okay, so not the one that I link and even quoted in the post. Cool. Using Google that was the 7th mock on the list.

How many mocks had Smith and/or Waddle going ahead of Chase for the 2021 draft? It was quite a few.

6-8 months recovery, great value. I'd take the "discount" and run to the podium at take him at #18

Don't particularly love him at 18 prior to this injury. If this is serious we might be able to get him in the 2nd.

Yep. You got the connection.

I’m a Treylon Burks as WR1 person. I think players with his skill set tend to be more dominant. Faster than a gone as tall or big as him. Bigger and stronger than anyone as fast or faster than him. And he’s got wiggle after the catch too. Massive catching radio is hard to defend.

But with Jameson going down, it's even more likely he goes highly.

 

[efil4stnias]

Yep. You got the connection.

Ok so how do you explain all the WR that have played in NFL for years with no major issues? Tons of wr with skinny legs played for years.
Many current NFL wr don't have tree trunks for legs are are the most prolific.

Smith’s legs are small, but they don’t look too small for his body. He never looked like Bambi trying to walk on the ice.

 

[Quiet Storm]

Ok, I'm trusting you guys with some of these guys you're listing. I'd like to take a WR at 18. Tired of the lack skill were fielding at that position.

… and we all know mock drafts are never wrong, especially the ones compiled before the Senior Bowl, the combine and pro days
