and I don't know which one of the Ohio State receivers is
going to be one. But I mean, I get to learn about Allah, they
or Wilson here, right? Yeah. Now, you don't sorry. I know
I'm no Ohio State guys in
my top five. I understand. I'm going to be and I will. Hi O
state. I'm sure they love me there. Already to because I was
so good with Justin Fields last year,
but
I really love a Lobby. Yeah. I like Wilson a lot. I like olave
more than Wilson. I will say that. Yep. They were certainly
the guys, I Looked at Right On The Fringe of this list. Yeah,
you know
and I understand their popular names and I'll dive into it
more but they're not Jameson Williams of Alabama. Let me
just tell you that Jameson Williams. Number one. I want to
hear about him.
Yeah, what'd you do with the injury? And we're going to get
to the Ohio State guys have hospit, right? Why is Jameson
William Williams? Number one? Jameson Williams is like to me
the most slam dunk. He's evaluation. I've seen so far.
I mean, again,
Jerry, he's Jerry Judy.
Another gear, right? He's Devante Smith with a little
more strength on to his game. Then Devante Smith.
I look at Jim and Sam Williams, and just go
you name it, he can do it, you know? Arguably the best route
runner in the draft, arguably, the best yards after the catch.
After the draft,
arguably, the guy that I'd go. Oh, we just want to throw a go
route. He's the guy. I want to throw it to
get to see it against all types of competition. Get to see all
types of routes, you know,
has for even for a guy that ca6 one-and-a-half £179 plays.
Like Devonte Shield plays way stronger than the size When
indicating and again, that's not only just the route
running.
Yeah, he can take some bumps and
and some rubbing, and some tugging, his is
going down the field and maybe I shouldn't have put it that
way, the rubbing and the tugging,
but, but I know getting an x-rated podcast here, but also
what I was more impressed with to is
how many tackles he breaks,
you know, to me compared to the Ohio State kids. That's, this
is First off, he's faster than the Iowa State kids.
The right is where he was. Right? Right. I don't know
exactly which is crazy. Yeah. I know, he makes way more happen
after the catch, right?
And he breaks tackles like you watch Jameson Williams Clips,
you watch a game
Slants over the middle.
Runs through arm, tackles stiff-arms people to the ground,
turns it back on. Runs her 40 yards,
his start-stop ability.
I mean him and Christian Watson. It's off the charts.
Good. For their double moves like their ability to go down
and run. A ten yard. I'm going to stop and then restart and
go. I mean, it's it's as good as anybody in the NFL. It's
that type of good
to me. This is a
slam-dunk superstar receiver. But he has the ACL question,
right? That puts a question mark in this thing, want to get
to the ACL for sure. And what that means first though. I want
it. I want to spend just a moment here. I know you're not
a big numbers guy. Yeah,
production in college can mean a lot, doesn't have to mean
everything. 20 yards per catch Ryder, 20 yards per catch. In
the SEC,
better than waddle better than Smith, better than Judy.
What? You read into that yards. It's real, it's real too. And
then this to me, where, you know, not all 50-yard posts are
created equal, right? You know, I'm going to get into a little
bit and we're like where I go. Hey, Gary Wilson, 50-yard post
is usually against like the most unbelievable look. Yeah,
and he's matched up against the safety
and I'm gonna go Jameson Williams, 50 yards poster like
Corners playing a man-to-man safeties. Also back there,
trying to run with him and he runs biblethump. Both of them
like that's to me is where it's a
little different.
That's where he separates himself for especially from
the Ohio State guys, but the rest of them. And then I think
the yards after catch thing is real. That's where I think it
adds to it. So
way he can run deep,
he can run a post corner and never even break stride.
He can do all that.
But but you see, you see, like so many plays where you going,
caught the ball at five yards, but he got 27 because he just
ran through
an arm tackle or stiffed arm, somebody and turned it on
and made one more guy.
Listen. Okay, that to me is where he's a little different
than the rest of the group. Yeah, and it's I mean everybody
not everybody but all these first round pick wide
receivers, Alabama all had really good yards per catch,
but 19.9 is is enough different where I wrote that down. Like
I've got to find out is this just him running by people?
Or is there something else in the fact that he's doing more
than just catching the post over? The top says a lot. It's
a little of all the little everything, let alone. He
always has that ability to,
you know,
run the post. Run by everybody. Go route outside. Run by
everybody. I mean, to me, he was by far the guy that dbe's
were scared of more than anybody that I watched and this
whole thing,
right? You know, of course, the Watson Crick and Watson, it was
a low-level competition. Some of those DVDs were, like
literally running before four seconds before the snap. Like,
I gotta get back,
but yes, you could tell. And every Alabama game he watched
dbe's even when they wanted to bump. When I got close to set
hut, they started going backwards like I'm gonna give
him some room because he's going to run by me and Can run
by anybody. He is so smooth. It is
he, you know,
whether he wants to run the, you know, more of the slant and
then come back out chop the feet, stick the foot in
the ground or he wants to run. Let's say the 20
yard in cut and he runs at full speed and just
puts one foot in the ground
and seamlessly breaks over the middle
that to me is where he's good.
And then, the last thing is, you know, I always write this
down, is kind of like he does the Debo snatch Debo snatch out
of the air.
The And that to me is where him and Watson and even Pierce had
this a little bit to, to me where they separated
themselves.
They can catch the ball full speed,
running over the middle
and just never break stride, and rip the ball out of the air
and there's no slowdown tradition or
transition step to go.
Wait. Now let I took the ball away and that, let me regather
and start speeding up again, meaningful quality in the end
of it. Did to me. It's huge. Exactly. Right? It's one of
those things. We Overlook is evaluator sometimes and you go
All right, but if that guys like taco in the ball in, it's
not going to be the same in the end. If I was gonna get tackled
right there and you want to know why Debo Samuel is always
running down the middle of the defense because he can do that
without ever
breaking stride all great stuff. Thank you.
You mentioned the one - it's a big - it's a giant question.
Mark torn ACL. Yeah in the national title game in January
wasn't that long ago. If you use it to up ten pick on
somebody you want him to play in September.
So teams like the Jets. They pick it for and 10. They love
to have the best. In the class, what do they do with this
evaluation
as it pertains to their early picks?
He'd be a guy a 10.
We're again, you'd have to read the room the right way and
the draft, the right way.
Where
maybe if you suggest you thinking about trading down
a little bit maybe you think he's a guy that I would say I'd be
willing to drop them a few spots higher.
And so what we don't have them for the first four weeks of
the Year, especially if you have a picot 4, yeah, that to me, you
know, and again they have some they got Corey Davis. They got
Elijah more. Yeah.
They got a lot of other picks left in the draft. We're gonna
get early want a wider say be astounded, Gabriel's, couple
months. Yeah, they need a game breaker, right? They were just,
we know they gave Tyree kill and the Kansas City.
Chiefs basically the same offer the Dolphins did. He'll just
pick the Dolphins? He want to live in Miami's from there.
Yeah, so but yes, this would be the type of guy that I'd go.
Oh,
this makes sense. You want to Matt Le Flore Mike LaFleur Run
game. You got the other receivers that kind of do
everything. Now. We need the guy that scares the s... out of
everybody. Yeah,
and that to me is this, is this guy right? And so what ACLU and
I both know, 2022. It's not nearly as dangerous as
the injuries. He used to be right. Right, you know most guys can
be close to 100% after eight. Nine months like close to 100%
10. 11 months,
you go. Oh damn, he's
it's Odell Beckham jr. In the playoffs, you know, he's
hitting on all cylinders again just barely a year. So
he'd be a guy. I guess what I'm saying is I would maybe draft
a little higher with the injury there. And I know he said, I've
said this a couple of times that we want to get to like
assigning kids with where they might fit the best later on
sometime in April, but
the ACL injury is such a part of his evaluation
and it's such a part.
Of wondering. Okay, what's going to happen with him? Yeah,
do you think he gets out of the top 10?
You have to pick a team? No,
I think he will. I don't think he'll go tell coach up to.
I don't think he will top 15.
I think it's right in that ring. Okay, I feel like it 15
to 20. It's probably where I want to say in with all
the circumstances surrounding this here. Yeah, I will say
no way cl to me. This kid is a top ten pick
it Devante Smith was last year. Jamar chase that to me. This
guy is right there, and that class of player. No question
better than Henry rugs coming out, not even close
better than Jerry. Judy coming out
where What was rugs? The 12th pick 11. Pick rugs was, I mean,
Judy was like 14 or 15
to me. So, yeah, also rugs at to me. There's a significance.
Like I said, he's Jerry Judy route running. Yeah,
with a 6 gear that Jerry Judy didn't have
better than Smith and waddle.
He's like a very much like a Devante Smith
that that's really what he
did to me is not it's actually
it's that body type and he and he again, I think he's ten
pounds heavier than the birthday Smith, but you know,
it's the way he runs Rouse. The way he gets off the ball, to me
is very similar to Devonte Smith plays
tough. I mean really is, he's fearless. And like I said,
the one thing I liked a little bit, maybe more than Devante Smith
was
his ability to absorb contact with the ball in his hand. And
even when he was running routes and maybe not quite be his
affected as Devante. Smith was yes,
no ACL top ten pick for me, for sure. How many Rockets pre-aca?
Yeah, it's three and a half its sits up there, the leader.
I mean,
in the leader house, some of the,
the catch. Is and the turn it on
and you go,
he's going to get pushed out of the 20 and you go what he
turned the
corner and scored. I mean, there's like six or seven of
those where you just go, no way. Did he turn the corner
against that team?
Where I know they got four four guys in the dbe's?
So that's to me where he went above and beyond.
