175lbs WR is a force is the run game nuh?? Hard pass even in the 7th for me.

It's Dane Brugler time. his top WR. He splits them into seniors and underclassmen.

His top 5 overall:

1. Jeremiah Smith (natch)
2. Cam Coleman
3. Charlie Becker
4. Nick Marsh
5. Bryant Wesco Jr

Evan Stewart from Oregon is his top senior WR with Omarion Hampton his 3rd best senior WR.

Jeremiah Smith is the clear No. 1 receiver prospect, but the class is full of talent.

Edit: He hasn't bought into the Junior Sherrill hype - 17th among senior WRs.

I think the top 4 are correct, likely in that order.

WR is a tough eval until we know how Kyle Williams does next year. If he establishes himself as WR 3, it's hard to see any need for a WR outside of late day 3. Still, I wouldn't turn my nose up at Becker or Marsh just because I think they're so ideal but even that's a push. Beyond that, a successful Williams makes interest in a WR a long-shot at best.

Nice to see a 6'2" WR not weigh 180 lbs.

Now for the 245lb linebacker.

Amare Thomas, Houston
5-11, 205

Look how explosive he is. And at 205lbs, has the physicality some slots don't have.



Edit:

This play is in the video above but I put it in separately because it personifies what I said. Physicality and then explosion and speed.

I posted this in the wrong thread. fixed.

Keshaun Singleton, Auburn (frmly USF)
6-3, 220

Great size but sadly another true junior.

Interesting film, particularly the ball tracking and contested catches. Athleticism is fine but not spectacular.







He keeps his QB from last year, Byrum Brown, too which is good for his development.

Take it fwiw

Junior Sherrill is the receiver at the top of the screen. Mesmerising cut to flummox the corner.
