    I wouldn’t be mad if we took two with our first four picks to be honest.

    I think KC Concepcion is the best pure slot receiver in the draft. He’s so damn quick. He digs out badly low throw balls and he’s always going to run for YAC.

    He doesn’t have elite statistical productivity because he’s never been in a real high powered offense. Unfortunately I think his stock skyrocketed during the CFP. He’s also a three year starter.



    Chris Bell just looks and feels like Terrell Owens out there. Big, strong, physical and catches through contact.

    Another 3-year starter that’s finally breaking out. He’s a pure outside receiver in my book and would be a great GW compliment at the X position. 6’2”, 220 pounds who may run in the 4.4’s. Another guy that might shoot up boards but this by way of the draft board.

    I can’t find a good 2025 highlight tape for Carnell Tate so here’s one of the YouTube experts breaking some of his stuff down.

    I think Tate’s the best receiver in the class and will go in the top ten. Ohio State receivers are also the best coached on pure skill as Brian Hartline is a wizard with teaching route concepts there.

    He does everything well and takes the top off the defense with easy long strides, but he really stacks corners exceptionally well with subtle body movements.

    If the Jets move down and get more picks, I wouldn’t mind taking him up there. Production again doesn’t show as well on the stat sheet but he’s been fighting with Egbuka & Jeremiah Smith last year and Smith this year.

    Wasn’t super impressed with Makai Lemon or Lane for USC last night. It might be a function of the game and the team they played but it seems they were just schemed wide open.

    Lemon does have another gear and is a good contested catcher though.

    Kevin Coleman for Missouri has been super impressive against probably the best defense in the nation today. Looks like he’ll be a good NFL player.

    Recorrecting this shitty analysis. Lemon is crazy quick. Would love draft him.

    Jakobi Lane has strong hands too. Another guy I’d love to have as our X receiver.

    Elijah Surratt reminds me a lot of Steve Smith. He’s a lot bigger so the play style doesn’t exactly match up but he has an attitude about competing for the ball just like Smith had. I like that for my team. He’s a baller.

    I was so impressed with Concepcion and I remember you brought him up awhile back. He is so fast and I would be happy if we got him with our 2nd first rounder even

    With the emergence (hopefully) AD Mitchell, I would love Concepcion on this team in the slot. Metchie is decent, and I believe the Jets should make him a second-round tender as he is a RFA. 1 year/5 million.

    Going into 2026

    Wilson
    Mitchell
    Concepcion
    Metchie
    Smith

    Thanks for that analysis and the videos! Very interesting...

    I wish I watched more college football but, ever since the few big conferences started consolidating, I've lost interest. What's the Big10 now, the Big18? The Big12 err The Big16... JSMH.

    All I dig into much are the QB's so I don't act/sound like a Jackass when talking about them in the main board. LOL...I usually fail then too. :D

    Keep it coming! These kids look really good. I hope they don't waste too much on a QB where a guy or two, like those kids, might actually make it on to our team!
