Not to knock your rankings but I've always been curious about how people rank WRs so highly in rookie drafts?

Literally all of my rosters are chalk full of WR talent because I mine the 2nd/3rd rounds and have a decent hit rate there. For people that don't value RBs > WRs in the early 1st, what's the logic here? Do you guys just not hit in the later rounds so WR is a pressing need?

This is where I land overall on WR. I nearly punt the position early at this point. Too many Corey Davis/N'Keal Harry/Reagor type early misses have humbled me. I'm just not good at evaluating the top end of the position. I'm far better at finding veteran WRs at a discount via trade. I'd much rather sink the 1.6 equity into a known, quality vet than gamble on a tier 2 rookie WR.

Oh no, do I need to drop Ja'Marr Chase to the back end of the 1st round in my rookie rankings now...or is his analytical profile so good he is bust proof?

I may disagree, but I can understand not having Chase as the 1.01 or even WR1. 1.09/WR5 though is just silly.

He says how chase wants to stay at the line and hand fight but this is a nonsense take. I watched all the games I could find on YouTube and I’ve never seen a receiver that had guys launching themselves to grab his jersey at the snap than chase. Go watch Any other receiver and they are running free off the line almost every time.

I don't seem to be as high on Chase as most on here, but yeah, 1.09 is a little low. His points on him in the write-up are pretty accurate, though.

He says he uses his hands at the line like it’s a bad thing, that’s pretty much a must in the NFL lol.

Like you say, most college prospects have a free release they barely face any press / physical corners which is nothing like the NFL, Chase already has the game for it.
