I do'nt think Chase is on their radar personally.I think they go FA and Waddle
i wish i could see what alot of others see in chase. i take smith and waddle over him. not saying he isnt good, but imo the other two are better.
That’s a very valid point and nothing I said is pointed at your analysis of chase that I’ve seen. I think you have one of the most realistic grades on him that I’ve come across here. I don’t think the sitting out will bother his draft stock, and I understand your view on the kids that sat out through a coaches lens.Well, Adams tore it up twice in college. He had a season to validate what he did as a RS Freshman. Chase decided to pass on that opportunity. He knew what he was coming back to if he played another season at LSU. He wasn't going to be able to validate the big season he just had.
He's good. Like I said, he's Justin Blackman, Corey Davis, Amari Cooper, Sammy Watkins, Michael Crabtree good. That's good enough.
I don't think he belongs in a tier by himself though.
I know a few DB's who would probably disagree with the notion that Chase is the best WR prospect in the last few years. So much so that they don't even understand how it could be a legitimate conversation.
I'll say this, there's not a cornerback in the NFL that could shut down Jerry Jeudy or DeVonta Smith one-on-one. Now whether you can get 'em the ball or not is a different story entirely. I think even Elway gets it now. But just in terms of route running and staying with the guy and covering him - there's nobody that can do that to Jeudy or Smitty. Maybe a Jalen Ramsey or somebody like that might have a shot on a good day. Just in general, absolutely not. There's no way.
You can't really say that about Ja'Marr Chase. And he is a talented receiver.
The reason I'm leery of Smith is with him, you get what you see. There isn't going to be an improvement on his route skills or his size. He's hit peak everything.
With Chase, I still see him able to improve his route running ability. Add that into how he is able to use his is body more and high point the football better & I think Chase has the higher upside.

Early second could net us bama rb Harris. Yes, yes.There has to be a trade down. Rarely do we get top 3 picks in a year with several QB needy teams and nice propsects that are top 10 overall rated.
If you can get an early second you do it if you stay top 9.
It matters a lot. You are not only looking at winning the ball, you also looking at flanker who can stretch the field. A speedy deep threat can pull the corner deep and pull the safety to his side. As a result, slot or TE on that side gets more room, also in running play, the safety needs couple more steps to come up and tackle. That could means the different between a 5 yards run and a 12 yards run.Why does it matter how you win? Just win baby
I actually think Waddle is a better fit for this team. Waddle is a pure speed burner. Can pull the corner deep and command attention of safety. We already have 5050 type wr in DVP. Don't need more with similar skill set.I like both Smith and Chase. I just feel that Smith is a better fit for Tua and Tua is a better fit for Smith due to their style of play.
Chase isn’t slow. He isn’t the fastest, but he has better than average speed.It matters a lot. You are not only looking at winning the ball, you also looking at flanker who can stretch the field.

What I said is football 101 really, nothing revolutionary. I am surprised a board veteran like you would everlooked that.
Where is your source?Carolinas not moving up, They’re going to keep their draft capital and pick Mac Jones.
When you can not get separate deep, safety often ignore you. Reason being that safety knows even if you make the catch, you will tackled immediately.Chase isn’t slow. He isn’t the fastest, but he has better than average speed.
