No doubt Chase is a talented WR. My concern with Chase is his ability to consistently separate and how the lay off from opting out has affected his ability.This does not help, but if Chase shows out, there is a legit argument he is top guy coming out of the draft. It already is. He is bigger and explosive, rested up... LSU WRs have better track record and he seems to be the most nuanced and well developed of all LSU WRs, who have done better in recent history. Sign me up with Chase at 3.
This is where we have to rely on our talent evaluation from our GM. I won't cry if they grab Smith. But who can honestly sit here and say they are not annoyed about Smith's recent comments? Or concerned about his size? I am doing a deep dive into Ja'Marr before even considering any other skill players at that spot. I won't be mad over either, I have been crazy about Smith as our new WR1 for a while now, but over time I am thinking Chase is that dude.
I love the recent comparison of being a faster Anquan Bolden; the former Florida State and Arizona Cardinals WR.
