I think he has special special ball skills and if he gets with a QB who isn’t afraid to put it up he will continue to dominate and win those 50/50 balls. Just a gut feeling. I’m better at telling you who won’t work and last year Quinton Johnston was so obviously a bust it wasn’t even funny. He had NO ball skills
I think it’s similar to 2014 as well where u have Nabers and OBJ who are just freaks after the catch, Odunze and Evans who are elite in 1 on 1 jump ball scenarios, and even though he never lived up to the hype (and MHJ will be a much better pro player) Sammy Watkins was seen as one of the greatest WR prospects ever at that time
I have genuinely been dying for some of this content, there so many TH-camrs giving their prospect reviews BUT NO ACTUAL FILM IS SHOWN, TFG I need this channel to keep growing because this is the shit I need 🤣

Regarding Keon Coleman: Steve and Sam from PFF made a point to say that according to their GPS tracking data, Coleman played much faster on the field than what he ran for his 40 at the combine
He reminds me of the former Pittsburgh Panther Wideout Johnathan Baldwin who ended up being a bust for I forgot who in the league. He's that similar of a prospect. That or a Laquan Treadwell.
I wonder if Luther Burden next year is gonna be on that Nabers level of WR prospects. These guys just keep getting more and more talented. This class is so deep too. Could see as many as 20 guys go in the top 100 picks.
Burden if he can keep any injuries from lingering and taking him off the field for spells will be a top 10-15 pick next year. Dude is athletic, runs great routes, and is physical at the catch point. He isn't afraid of contact, or scared to come over the middle for a tough catch. I'd worry about his durability though as he's already been known to get dinged up a bit. A very talented receiver who has it all. He struggles with some of the more physically imposing defensive backs he matches with at the line of scrimmage though. He can get kind of lost when trying to get a good release if he's being jammed. If he puts another 10-15 pounds of muscle on his frame though, without sacrificing much of that athletic ability? He is going to be a damn good one. So will the Colorado Receiver Travis Hunter if he can keep the injuries from lingering as well. Hell Hunter could end up a great NFL Defensive back, or Wideout if he chooses to and stays healthy going forward. He's damn good and has the natural instincts to defend the pass, as well as find the open pockets, and find the openings in coverage for easy catches. He's a freak of nature all around.
I was a little bored of draft content today watching a couple mocks.. then you post and it’s an instant watch. Thanks for the amazing graphics and your insights are always unique and well delivered
Nabers has a unique ability to track the deep ball early and run through the catch. I also noticed in his highlights a few times he reads an underthrown ball and throttles down, using his back to wall off the defender and make an uncontested catch where most WRs would try to slam on the brakes, face up with defender and make a leaping contested catch. He turns 50% jump balls into uncontested catches and makes the throws look perfect.
Marcus, you put out THE MOST in-depth videos with cool graphics and lots of stuff for us to look at so that we can best understand your process. Thank you for the pride you put into your work and the commitment to excellence that you show in your videos. It does not go unnoticed.
It feels like this WR class is gonna feed the depth at WR league wide for the next 10 years. There’s so many guys even outside of the top 15 I can see still making roles and sticking around
McConkey is getting so overlooked in such a loaded class, glad to see you have him at 5. To me, he’s closer to Garret Wilson than Dionte Johnson just because he tested closer to Wilson but I love him as a player, I think he’s the 4th most sure WR in the class.
Not even close to Garret Wilson. Wilson is a freak athlete. McConkey is not, but he is an excellent route runner, and has that backyard football mentality in the best way.
He tested the exact same at the combine, he runs just as good of routes. I said he's closer to Garret Wilson, not he is Garret Wilson. He has worse hands and had less production (that could be because the offense he is in) so he's not the same but he wins in a very similar way.@@Oreoluwa-ke5bp
1. I've heard from Texas fans that Worthy played last year with a broken hand (UT doesn't release player medical info apparently). 2. It was really funny seeing the Troy Franklin truthers on X post-combine, they kept posting a gauntlet drill graphic in response to the clip of the Coleman and Franklin gauntlet drills where you're supposed to be drifting toward each pass/ hugging the line (what Coleman was doing) and claiming that Franklin ran the drill the best (even though he was doing the exact opposite of the graphic they were posting lol).
Almost everyone I've seen comping Marv has said A.J. Green and as someone who is a Bengals fan, I fully agree. A.J. may have had slightly better speed, but everything else is just super clean and precise.
Yeah, AJ Green, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald are all guys who are similar to Marvin Harrison Jr as prospects at the time they were coming out. Julio Jones was a better prospect coming out though. Hands down for me due to his physical demeanor when battling Defensive backs in his routes. Both Julio, and AJ had similar durability issues for the majority of their careers though that Marvin Harrison Jr has already started showing. Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald were the same type of talents with much more durability.
Marcus man, mad props to you. These videos are so informative and well thought out. We can tell you put ur work in from production to the film room. Appreciate you.
I need to go sleep cause it's late here in Belgium but can't wait to come home tomorrow, lay up my feet and get fully into this. You make the off-season amazing, Marcus!
Really good/weird WR class… I love the top-3. And then there’s a massive drop off to the next 3 (AD/BTJ/Ladd) and then. A list of 12 guys who you could reasonably argue anywhere from WR7-WR19. For example, you didn’t even mention Ja’Lynn Polk (my WR9) and Malik Washington (my WR11)
Your top position reviews are as exciting (if not more) than any other offseason content. I always look forward to seeing these! I'm not sure if you call yourself an analyst, but you are far better at it than any other professional analyst at reviewing players. I hope you continue doing this for a long time to come.
I just finished the video and learned a lot outside of the top 3. But for Odunze, Nabers, and Harrison, this is what I've been saying and people think I'm crazy! I think Nabers is just on a whole other level. This dude is being overshadowed by MHJ and I think it's largely due to the name hype. Not a knock on MJH, but I think you said it perfectly when you said Harrison is very polished. You can tell how much work the man has put into his all of his attributes of receiver; he's left no stone unturned. But Nabers has that "it" factor that MJH doesn't have. He is just ELECTRIC. You can't teach raw athleticisim. I think all three recievers have great careers, but Nabers is the type of dude to play an elite level right away in the NFL, whereas the other two will maybe need more time to get comfortable to the change of speed and such. Anyway, I'm glad people are sleeping on Nabers. I'm putting money on him to have ROTY.
RickyBobby and Xavier 2Legette2Quit are two of my favorite receivers on day two. Glad you’re giving them the proper respect they deserve. Count me in as a new subscriber.
I know the shrine bowl wasn’t great for Tez Walker, but he is going to be a difference maker in the league. he didn’t struggle much with drops in college and has great athleticism which will translate well
Yeah there’s a lot of great options but I’m one of the last on Skyy Moore island maybe I’m a fool but Ik what I saw on tape that dude can play just give him time
@@imhotepnixon wow. I actually agree lol. Skyy has very good burst of the line. That play where he routed up Derwin James was insane. I’m not a tape expert but someone I trust with that stuff said that he has a lot of wasted movements in his routes. He’s shimmy-ing up guys too much when he should giving them a quick shake and bake and keep it moving. Hope he proves it this year 🙏🏾🔥
Based on the 40 and the simulcam comp between Xavier Worthy and John Ross I’d say Worthy deserves an A+ on Acceleration. He was yards ahead of Ross for the first 10 to 15 yards. Ross closed the gap at the end of the 40.
This! Absolutely Devonta Smith had some silky smooth cuts in and out of his breaks. Another guy who was damn elite in those cuts, and angles when running the fine line routes needed for an NFL route TREE was Steve Smith Sr, and Chad Johnson. Both of those guys could make their cuts, and be gone in the quickness, and you're toast 5 yards behind them. Santana Moss, Jimmy Smith, Victor Cruz, Jarvis Landry, Percy Harvin, Marvin Harrison, Tim Brown, Roddy White, Desean Jackson, Joey Galloway, Andre Rison, Chris Carter, and Jeremy Maclin were down right filthy when running routes too. Some of the greatest route runners of all time I just listed off.
He says Troy Franklin has good not great speed...lol. He's 6-2 and ran a 4.41 . That is great speed. His lanky frame is not an issue. Devontae Smith was the skinniest WR ever and is having a great NFL career.
I respect your opinion, but again, have to disagree on Franklin, I think he’s a taller Devonta Smith, but I suppose time will tell. I just hope he ends up on a team with a solid QB
From a falcons fan heading into this offseason i'm really excited to see if we add one of these guys to the offense alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts for whoever lays qb for us. Seems like the perfect year to add another guy into the mix without having to use high draft capitol if we don't want too.
I think Rome Odunze has a lot more potential than you're giving credit for. It's not that unlikely he'll improve on some areas and turn into an elite WR. I think he has less potential limitations than Nabers. While Nabers is still really good, I see a potential heavier Justin Jefferson in Odunze. Nabers did well with Brian Thomas Jr opposite from him, and I think he'll go best to a situation where he can have that again. I see WR1 potential in Odunze. I think he can at least hit a DJ Moore level.
Adonai Mitchell had the fastest 10yard split on his 40 at 14.57 mph. his decision to not play fast off his release will have to change in NFL to be a serious offensive weapon. Thomas JR doesnt like physical play. NFL CBs can slow Thomas down
Bro…you’re awesome. This is really well done. And you do such a good job of giving an encouraging take and letting folks know you’re not taking shots at them, you’re just telling it like it is and how they can improve!
Find the video of Ladd against Ole Miss. Truly amazing as he has 3 guys spinning around and grabbing air. One of the most amazing highlights I've seen. This kid is so fun to watch.
I think with your description of Odunze he would be a perfect fit for the bears. Dj Moore is a Dionte Johnson type and Mooney is like a Marquis brown type. Odunze fits in nicely as a #2 on that team with Caleb at Qb in my opinion
My dad flew through the Indy airport on Sunday and said he ran into Johnny Wilson and was stunned by how huge he was. Said he looked like a TE. I'll be interested to see how he pans out in the NFL.
Great breakdowns, as always, though I do think Roman Wilson is super underrated here (I would probably have him closer to 9 or 10 than 15, especially after his Senior Bowl and Combine performances) and Johnny Wilson being here at all without Ja'Lynn Polk here is kind of surprising. Would love to hear your thoughts as to your favorite landing spots for at least some of these guys, especially guys like Burton and J. Wilson that might need a more specific/refined landing spot to take full advantage of their skill sets. Also love the Keon Coleman and Xavier Worthy breakdowns specifically. There is an inherent risk to being a one-dimensional WR in some aspect and I love that their issues were highlighted while still accentuating how they can succeed at the next level.
Didn't agree with all of it, but wow, what a complete and thorough breakdown dude. Thank you for your insight. Please, please, please, do another WR breakdown to include the best of the rest (I'm a huge Jalen McMillan fan and would love to see you put him through the paces).
Good take on adonai Mitchell , the weaknesses you pointed out showed on the texas last drive vs wash in the redzone. Ewers tried to give him a few looks but he couldnt win his matchup.
As an LSU fan, there's no way he's as good as Jamarr Chase, especially when we are talking about physicality, catch point, etc.. As great as he is with his speed and route-runner, I think people will be disappointed with his ball security and physicality at the NFL level. I hope he continues to develop, though, since in 2023 he was way better than in 2022. Great video as always, Marcus, easily on the Mount Rushmore of draft content ever!
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between brian thomas and terrace marshall/denzel mims? Those two are giving me pause about going crazy w the thomas hype
Johnny Wilson could be the one that people will talk about after this draft. At 6 foot 6 he could be anything. Potential T.E. size and potential blocking ability. The way the safety got knocked back after the hit would have me talking if I was an N.F.L scout. Pick 185. They might be asking why he wasn't taken earlier. Potential doesn't always translate to stardom in the N.F.L. but there's a lot to work with there.
For Brian Thomas Jr, my comp for him is Tee Higgins. They are very similar in how they perform and the role they play. (part of the reason I think he'd be a perfect fit for the Bengals if they trade Higgins).
@@Ynkno loaded overall. at wr, qb, there are like 8 legit first round tackles too. the CB, safety and edge positions are also kinda loaded, not with ton of first round prospects but tons of second-third round guys
That's my nephew he's low key going to shock everyone He just need a QB to get the ball somewhere around him so he can go get it That is what he do go get it
Just a couple typos/mispeaks:
- Adonai Mitchell Potential Grade should be an 88 not 86
- Odunze has a 77 Impact and 87 Potential Grade, not a 96 (forgot to update that from the Nabers Graphic)
- I said Legette is one of the best receivers in the NFL at throttling down/running stop routes, I meant in this class, not in the NFL
I believe you mentioned MHJ is "Half a foot taller than Odunze" Which I have to assume is a mispeak? Can you imagine a 6'8 MHJ?

Accurate. He was also tracked at 20 mph during the gauntlet drill. He's tailor made as one of those big slots, like Jennings out of SF, and Lazzard.
@@zackhurwitz9441 nahh. lazard is not even good, nor a slot wr. Coleman is definitely a tee higgins (ceiling) or Kelvin harmon (floor) type of guy
I wonder if Brad Holmes believes. It would be awesome to see him catching from Jared Goff
@@ricardorivera7549 Lazzard is a big slot, basically functions as a TE. He was adequate as a 3rd-4th WR with Rodgers in GB.

I wonder if Luther Burden next year is gonna be on that Nabers level of WR prospects. These guys just keep getting more and more talented. This class is so deep too. Could see as many as 20 guys go in the top 100 picks.

Burden needs to get a bit bigger to get into that territory.
@@jesot he’s listed at about the same size as Nabers.

crazy how athletes evolve over time. im sure no one could fathom someone like wemby playing baskteball back in the 80s yet here we are.
They are much better at preparing these players for the 40 yd. dash.
Yeah this dude trippin, he said he didn’t have Justin Jefferson’s athleticism but Jefferson ran a 4.43 and had a shorter vertical

I’m not a tape expert but someone I trust with that stuff said that he has a lot of wasted movements in his routes. He’s shimmy-ing up guys too much when he should giving them a quick shake and bake and keep it moving. Hope he proves it this year 🙏🏾🔥
kadarius toney. re-sign mvs. what more do they need?
@@YnknoWe need to upgrade at the Wr position.
No you don't, let the league breathe please 😂
Mark my words AD Mitchell will be a problem if he goes to the right team and right situation he’s gonna dominate year 1
THANK YOU BEEN WAITING ON A POSITIONAL RANKING VIDEO SINCE THE END OF JAN LFG TFG
get him in the algorithm man LEAVE A LIKE ON THE VID
Based on the 40 and the simulcam comp between Xavier Worthy and John Ross I’d say Worthy deserves an A+ on Acceleration. He was yards ahead of Ross for the first 10 to 15 yards. Ross closed the gap at the end of the 40.
We appreciate all your hard work Marcus ❤
If Ladd McConkey can stay healthy then he’s going to be a great pick for whatever team he gets him
I let out an audible “OOOOO” when I saw this was out today. Made my Tuesday TFG
Odunze is definitelyyyyy the ideal definitionnn of an alpha WR so idk man lol
Xavier Weaver out of CU will be a stud!
I have a feeling Jonny Wilson will be in the top 5 TEs video at some point lol
You don’t think Devonta Smith was a better route runner than Jeudy and now Ladd? Man Slenderman’s routes are crisp and silky smooth!
This! Absolutely Devonta Smith had some silky smooth cuts in and out of his breaks. Another guy who was damn elite in those cuts, and angles when running the fine line routes needed for an NFL route TREE was Steve Smith Sr, and Chad Johnson. Both of those guys could make their cuts, and be gone in the quickness, and you're toast 5 yards behind them. Santana Moss, Jimmy Smith, Victor Cruz, Jarvis Landry, Percy Harvin, Marvin Harrison, Tim Brown, Roddy White, Desean Jackson, Joey Galloway, Andre Rison, Chris Carter, and Jeremy Maclin were down right filthy when running routes too. Some of the greatest route runners of all time I just listed off.
Me listening to the Jermaine Burton analysis: "So he's a Pittsburg Steeler"
He says Troy Franklin has good not great speed...lol. He's 6-2 and ran a 4.41 . That is great speed. His lanky frame is not an issue. Devontae Smith was the skinniest WR ever and is having a great NFL career.
On tape this WR class looks Elite +++
In the only half season John ross played he lead the league in receiving yards, his issue was health not his football skill
Bro had to put top 15 cuz he COMPLETELY missed puka nacua and rashee rice last year lmao
Like the fact you put video with commentary .. kudos
I respect your opinion, but again, have to disagree on Franklin, I think he’s a taller Devonta Smith, but I suppose time will tell. I just hope he ends up on a team with a solid QB
Finally someone else sees it with Franklin
Absolute fool's gold
Thomas is the best wr coming out
From a falcons fan heading into this offseason i'm really excited to see if we add one of these guys to the offense alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts for whoever lays qb for us. Seems like the perfect year to add another guy into the mix without having to use high draft capitol if we don't want too.
I find it funny bro did 15 instead of 10 cause it’s so many good weapons 😂😂🤣💯
Love this. Been sticking with your draft content since 2018, and easily still the best in the business. Great work again Marcus!
I think Rome Odunze has a lot more potential than you're giving credit for. It's not that unlikely he'll improve on some areas and turn into an elite WR. I think he has less potential limitations than Nabers. While Nabers is still really good, I see a potential heavier Justin Jefferson in Odunze. Nabers did well with Brian Thomas Jr opposite from him, and I think he'll go best to a situation where he can have that again. I see WR1 potential in Odunze. I think he can at least hit a DJ Moore level.
Why is blocking not an attribute? It is a part of the game even for receivers
Underrated comment, of course it depends on the team but theres some teams out there that definitely like to have their guys be serviceable blockers
Adonai Mitchell had the fastest 10yard split on his 40 at 14.57 mph. his decision to not play fast off his release will have to change in NFL to be a serious offensive weapon.
Thomas JR doesnt like physical play. NFL CBs can slow Thomas down
Houston with Johnny Wilson Tank dell and Nico would be nutty
That Nabors grade sheet is scary ;)
Amazing video! We enjoy them being long and detailed
Bro…you’re awesome. This is really well done. And you do such a good job of giving an encouraging take and letting folks know you’re not taking shots at them, you’re just telling it like it is and how they can improve!
💪
Find the video of Ladd against Ole Miss. Truly amazing as he has 3 guys spinning around and grabbing air. One of the most amazing highlights I've seen. This kid is so fun to watch.
I think with your description of Odunze he would be a perfect fit for the bears. Dj Moore is a Dionte Johnson type and Mooney is like a Marquis brown type. Odunze fits in nicely as a #2 on that team with Caleb at Qb in my opinion
mooney is not like brown
@@djcook fair enough, I didn’t think he was but for this example to work he needed to fit the profile. Maybe Tyler Scott is the Hollywood type.
I felt Jaylen Polk was bound to be in here , one of the more refined and consistent guys out the group
We can argue about the grades given, but I love the format, it’s like looking at player attributes in Madden lol
Good to see jmac Polk and thrash still criminally underrated
My dad flew through the Indy airport on Sunday and said he ran into Johnny Wilson and was stunned by how huge he was. Said he looked like a TE. I'll be interested to see how he pans out in the NFL.
AHHHHHH LETS GOOOOO THE GOAT IS BREAKING DOWN AN ALL TIME GREAT WR CLASS
Great breakdowns, as always, though I do think Roman Wilson is super underrated here (I would probably have him closer to 9 or 10 than 15, especially after his Senior Bowl and Combine performances) and Johnny Wilson being here at all without Ja'Lynn Polk here is kind of surprising. Would love to hear your thoughts as to your favorite landing spots for at least some of these guys, especially guys like Burton and J. Wilson that might need a more specific/refined landing spot to take full advantage of their skill sets.
Also love the Keon Coleman and Xavier Worthy breakdowns specifically. There is an inherent risk to being a one-dimensional WR in some aspect and I love that their issues were highlighted while still accentuating how they can succeed at the next level.
Didn't agree with all of it, but wow, what a complete and thorough breakdown dude. Thank you for your insight. Please, please, please, do another WR breakdown to include the best of the rest (I'm a huge Jalen McMillan fan and would love to see you put him through the paces).
Watching MHJ run routes is like injecting ecstasy into my bloodstream
I watched Ladd his whole college career, Nobody talked him up...But, you noticed....He will be a very good Pro WR......Very good Bulldog
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS.....I NOW AM A FAN!!!
I know nabers is really good but what mhj and stroud were doing to Georgia last year is forever seared into my memory.
Good take on adonai Mitchell , the weaknesses you pointed out showed on the texas last drive vs wash in the redzone. Ewers tried to give him a few looks but he couldnt win his matchup.
As an LSU fan, there's no way he's as good as Jamarr Chase, especially when we are talking about physicality, catch point, etc..
As great as he is with his speed and route-runner, I think people will be disappointed with his ball security and physicality at the NFL level.
I hope he continues to develop, though, since in 2023 he was way better than in 2022.
Great video as always, Marcus, easily on the Mount Rushmore of draft content ever!
15 players is much appreciated and very necessary for this class
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between brian thomas and terrace marshall/denzel mims? Those two are giving me pause about going crazy w the thomas hype
He's a lot faster and better against press would be the two things that stand out.
Johnny Wilson could be the one that people will talk about after this draft. At 6 foot 6 he could be anything. Potential T.E. size and potential blocking ability. The way the safety got knocked back after the hit would have me talking if I was an N.F.L scout. Pick 185. They might be asking why he wasn't taken earlier. Potential doesn't always translate to stardom in the N.F.L. but there's a lot to work with there.
Interesting that Tez Walker didn’t make it into the t15
For Brian Thomas Jr, my comp for him is Tee Higgins. They are very similar in how they perform and the role they play. (part of the reason I think he'd be a perfect fit for the Bengals if they trade Higgins).
Love this series bro!!!!!
This WR class is freaky as hell. I feel like there will be some guys that slip into the 3rd that would have been firsts in previous years
i feel like there are almost 10 WRs that if i saw them going in the first round i would be like "bet thats fair"
loaded at qb and wr?
@@Ynkno loaded overall. at wr, qb, there are like 8 legit first round tackles too. the CB, safety and edge positions are also kinda loaded, not with ton of first round prospects but tons of second-third round guys
Love the video!!
Honestly I’d move Wilson up at least two spots. Hes such an incredible blocker on top of everything.
I just got so excited when this popped up on my feed. ITS DRAFT SEASON BABY!
Surprising to see you gave Pearsall a C+ in catch radius, his 10.44 was 99th percentile.
How are you feeling about Javon Baker? I’ve been hearing different things about him.
That's my nephew he's low key going to shock everyone He just need a QB to get the ball somewhere around him so he can go get it That is what he do go get it
With DJ Moore & Allen on his team he’s getting that separation. It’s gonna be so hard to defend
This was great Marcus, well done
Disappointed Malik Washington didn’t make it definitely a my guy but understand because of how great this class is
I genuinely think he's a top 15 WR talent. Dude dominated the acc last year and is one of the best slot options
Nice job man!
Johnny Wilson is definitely a boom or ust risk to me... but a fallback strategy move to TE could potentially be incredible
