Garrett Wilson Top-5 Prospect?

Per Jordan Schultz:

"Wilson, according to one GM I spoke with, is one of the best receivers I've evaluated over the past five years. Speed, route-running, hands, can break the game open at any time."

*Should note that every team went to his pro day.

DAYUM, that video set my loins aquiver! Man has it all, speed, crisp routes, intelligence, work ethic. Maybe the Texans will want to trade up to # 6 to get ahead of ATL. I kinda like Byrd being one of their starting WR's this year.

History tells us that some of those guys will bust and some will disappoint. Happens every year. Even at the top of the list. Nothing is written into stone which is why they are each studied and scrutinized so thoroughly and even then, teams miss all the time. Some more than others but everyone misses. Hopefully, we get ours right.

Walker going #1 overall would almost assure us an OT.  Texans or Jets taking any other position besides OT means at least one falls to us.  I'm hoping the rumors that the Giants are infatuated with Cross are true.  While he has the biggest upside, he's still the rawest of the big 3 and thus the most room to bust of the OTs.  Neal has the highest floor, but also the lowest ceiling. Ickey falls in the middle of the three. He's got some growing to do and thus hasn't hit his ceiling, but his tape shows that he's at least solid day 1 starter at LT.

Field Yates is one of the most connected insiders covering the NFL.

 

This is gonna be fun haha, and it starts with the first pick.  There is seriously not a single pick I can really see set.  Even #1 sounds between 2-4 prospects depending on the source.  

See some claiming Icky is in the conversation, Neal, and then the Aiden vs. Walker report.

This could be bonkers.

Steelers are said to be sniffing around at the Giants #7 pick.  You almost have to assume a QB.  Willis or Pickett?  I think the Pickett love is smoke and it's Willis.  Pickett may even be there at #20, Willis won't be, and Atlanta (#8) seems curious about Willis, not Pickett.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
