From what I have learned through people who are much better and reputable than I, is it's a good idea to choose down games as well, to get a better assessment and a more accurate view of their strengths and weakness. Since you're putting so much effort into it, just thought I'd pass that piece of advice along from some of the more reputable people I've listened to.
Yeah not like I’m a tape guru or a draft aficionado, but I like to pull up prospects games against their best competition if I can get it.
I may or may not be related to Bryan Edwards

Thanks for this, I have Lamb then Reagor as my top 2 and Bryan Edwards a few spots higher than you but other than that I see a lot of these prospects similar to you. My favourite part about this forum is the effort some people put into their write ups even if i disagree with some, really helps me look at certain players differently and has in the past altered my opinion on some players.

Nice writeup!

One of my favorite parts of a player evaluation is coming up with a comp for said player . To me it's a great way to describe a prospect. I really liked your Mims and Claypool comps as they fit great and I had not thought of those myself!

Part of the reason I started posting these is to generate differing opinions for sure. If you look at the first thread, it started a pretty good Ridley debate. This class is going to have tons of different evaluations/rankings i would think

Awesome write up! While I appreciate when people have very different rankings then me and make me relook/rethink players I am lower or higher on; it's also nice this close to draft to see someone very aligned with my thinking as well! Helps convince me I'm not completely off base having Jeudy over Lamb; being very high on Pittman (my 6th WR); being low on Viska; etc.

Would love to read write-ups about where you fall on some of the consensus 16-30 guys like Cephus, Duvernay, Davis, Van Jefferson, Proche... but only so much time in the day, I understand haha.

I'm looking forward to going over Jefferson and Duvernay more thoroughly, among a few others. I'm waiting to see how the NFL values some of those guys to better prioritize my time. There's going to be a lot of shifting in the rankings with this class after tonight, anyway haha

Thanks, man. I debating even dropping it because there's so many talented people in these threads. Wasn't sure if anyone needed another rankings post. Glad people enjoyed it.

Appreciate the list!

Jalen Reagor reminds me more of OBJ than DJ Moore.
Bryan Edwards is wayyyyyy more physical than Jordan Matthews (who was ruined by mismanagement over his knee injury).
Dez Bryant/Allen Robinson/Michael Thomas is a closer comp for him.

I didn't see any of that in all honesty, especially Reagor/OBJ. OBJ was a fantastic route-runner coming out of college. Reagor is not that at all, at least not yet. OBJ also had fantastic hands. Reagor drops a ton of balls (even when accounting for his QB play).

I appreciate the input, though. The comps are kind of silly to do in the first place.

Thanks, man. My first thought when I finished this was "there's going to be a ton of differing opinions after tier 1." Makes things much more interesting to me.

I noticed earlier you didn't have Higgins on the list. Any reason for that? I figured he was in pretty much everyone's top 10. Just curious. Thanks again for all the write ups

Reagor's a less refined OBJ, the comp with him was more stylistic. They're both extremely explosive with the ability to turn on a dime losing very little acceleration. I like Reagor's route running, but I'd agree he's a far cry from OBJ at this point in time as well.
