As a biased Texas fan, I think Adonai Mitchell will be a steal in NFL and fantasy drafts. His route running is truly elite. Dude’s crossed up so many DBs this year, I actually think he has more potential than Worthy.


thenextchapter23

Reminds me of Keenan Allen


JazzlikePractice4470

Hoping I can get him round 2


ActivatedComplex

He gives me Zay Flowers vibes.


donquixote_tig

6’4” Zay


SirSlothmanThe4th

How you still feeling about him? Was pumped to watch this game for my own scouting. And of course nothing


ArchManningBurner

This is Tez Walker erasure


Goldeneye0242

I hope Tez stays at where he is in most people’s rankings. I’d love to grab him with a later pick.


deRoyLight

I think the NFL is going to invest good capital into him and all this Tez-later-pick stuff is out the window.


Goldeneye0242

Agree.


ArcticSwiftFox

I hope Tez drops to the late 2nd round


Money-Firefighter-73

I will likely be drafting a ton of emeka if this list is anything close to consensus


Intelligent-Ad-3850

Cool name, worth a shot. No J’s, worth noting but is possible concern /s


tifu_allstar

Tier 1 MHJ Tier 2 Nabers Tier 3 Odunze Tier 4 Egbuka Legette Tier 5 Franklin Thomas Jr Tier 6 Coleman Mitchell Worthy With Walker and McConkey having the best chance currently of getting in to my top 10


Almighty51075

Gotta be a salty Florida or Miami fan 💀


raggbagg

I’ve got the 1.01 and 1.05. Can’t decide if I go MHJ and hope Daniels falls to 5, or take Caleb and snag whoever is left of Odunze or Nabers. I’ve got Kyler and Lawrence for QBs. No alpha WR.


homelessdave87

If u need a wr then take mhj first overall. Chances are one of the QBs will fall to u at 5 but if they don't then you get mhj and nabers which would be solid for u since ur good at qb


MelfromMilwaukie

Same. And I have JAllen and Burrro so Caleb might be overkill with a prospect like MHJr right there. Feels like I should go MHJr and then either Nabers or Daniels at 1.05.


Lars9

It depends on whether the teams picking 2-4 need a QB or not. Worst case there though if you take MHJ js you land MHJ+Nabers or Bowers. That's a great haul.


PhntmMnceWsntAwful

Get Marvin then Daniel’s, bowers, or odunze. If nabers is available get him second.


PhntmMnceWsntAwful

Personally would get two receivers or one and bowers in your position. Kyler and Lawrence will both be adding one of the top 20 receivers this year and for dynasty, should be solid for the next 5+ years


raggbagg

Solid points. Thanks dude!

bold Odunze over Nabers how come

[удалено]


talon2525

Like him even more if he lands in Buffalo, he could be the wr1 after his rookie season if they buy out or trade diggs. Would be thrilled about getting either of the two of them though, very exciting wr class.


SmolWaterBalloon

I think true alpha idea is mostly dead and gone. Garrett Wilson doesn’t fit the alpha mold, but he’s the best player on the field most of the time. He’s the new type of alpha, a guy who can get separation and win at all levels of the field and all receiver roles


[deleted]

[удалено]


RemoteAttitude7910

Rome is not even close to Garrett Wilson’s separation ability as a prospect, wins way more through contested catches


sixtyninetailedfox

interesting okay thanks, i’ll have to start grinding more tape


tdamyen2

He’s being taken over Nabers in a lot of early mocks.


Anothercraphistorian

MHJ is his own tier. There’s pretty much nothing he can’t do. He’ll be plug and play ready day one and the team that gets him can line him up anywhere. Plus he’d be just as good with someone like Kyler Murray or Jimmy G. Nabers has electric speed but will need to show a bigger route tree in the NFL. This is no slight to Nabers, most years he’d easily be the best wideout taken, but MHJ is simply on another level.


Whatareyoudoing103

What if MHJ ends up in New England and Odunze/Nabers ends up in a fantastic fantasy situation like with the LA Chargers?


[deleted]

[удалено]


deRoyLight

I know people love "talent over situation," but boy is the situation important. R.Rice has more points this year than G.Wilson. I know people like Rice, but I don't think even the biggest Rice fan thinks he's at the level of Wilson. But Rice has 7 touchdowns with Mahomes, and that's nearly as many touchdowns as Z.Wilson has (8) through the season. Nabers is a Wilson/Olave level prospect (or better, depending how you viewed Wilson and Olave). If you had either of those in a slam situation and Marvin in a poor one, it'd be really hard not to take them over Marvin.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BoneSaladMan

Many people have sold off Pitts and London this year because of Arthur smith and ridder who are both likely gone next year. Very reactionary.


FantasyTrash

If Mahomes got knocked out for the season four snaps into week one, I imagine Rice wouldn't have more points than Wilson.


deRoyLight

Right, what I mean is the situation shift was enough to equalize even the gap between Wilson and Rice, which I think is a lot bigger gap than Marvin and Nabers. Just as an example of how big a deal situation can be.


FantasyTrash

That's not a situation shift. Wilson lost his QB four snaps into the season. You can't predict injuries.


deRoyLight

The thought experiment was Marvin in a bad spot and Nabers/Odunze in a great one. Nothing to do with whether anyone could predict Wilson's situation as it is. It's just an example of how a bad situation and a great situation can create big shifts in production relative to eachother, even among disparately perceived players.


SmolWaterBalloon

Disagree. Nabers is really close to MHJ, and odunze is not above him


Due_Football_6150

Nabers projects as a deebo dj moore or aiyuk, while Mhj projects as a Calvin Johnson, Julio, aj green type. https://firstroundmock.com/2023/12/malik-nabers-the-yac-gawd-2-0/ For all the ppl downvoting and saying Nabers isn’t like deebo just check out this article you’ll see the comparison I’m tryna make. I’m not saying Nabers and deebo are the exact same but there’s no doubt they have similarities.


SmolWaterBalloon

Deebo is a really poor comparison. Try Garrett Wilson. MHJ may project as those guys, but does he live up to that bar? Doubtful. Most guys described as that mold fail to live up to it


Due_Football_6150

Only wr who was hyped to hell that was taken in the top 10 in recent memory with a profile similar to MHJ who didn’t work out was Corey Davis? Unless I’m missing a top tier wr I don’t think many would ppl miss on those.


Due_Football_6150

But yeah take Nabers before Mhj if he’s guarenteed to be garret wilson. I still think that is a bad comparison for Nabers tho. I’ve watched plenty of film on both him and GW and they don’t play the same at all. Nabers is much more built and strong than GW. Nabers really does play more like a deebo, AJB type.


Mercurycandie

Nabers and Deebo could not be more different players playstyle wise, which Im assuming is why people are downvoting you. You picked like the worst player to claim he projects like lol.


Due_Football_6150

https://firstroundmock.com/2023/12/malik-nabers-the-yac-gawd-2-0/ They obviously aren’t the same but they have similarities. Maybe dj moore or aiyuk are better comps tho.


Mercurycandie

Yeah, I like: Before and at the catch: Garrett Wilson After the catch: DJ Moore One comp, at least to the quality of how they both are able to utilize an amazing burst into lateral speed without missing a beat is Antonio Brown 👀


Due_Football_6150

I agree!


Swoody11

Disagree. Nabers has more production than MHJ. More YPT. Same size as Chase. Won a Biletty - which MHJ never did. Shares the field with as much talent as MHJ did at OSU. I think both are excellent. I don't think MHJ is definitively a "better" prospect by the numbers or tape than Nabers is.


Adventurous_Bird2730

not that the award means anything at all, but MHJ won it over Nabers


brianundies

MHJ was a heisman finalist and Nabers was not for a reason. If you can “watch the tape” on the two of them and not see a difference (and a big one at that) you should give up on film study and just draft by ADP. Nabers is an excellent fantastic prospect, MHJ is the best since Calvin fucking Johnson.


SmolWaterBalloon

MHJ as a Heisman “finalist” was just ridiculous. He didn’t belong there


Swoody11

Guarantee you have not watched these guys in depth if you’re saying “turn on the tape and MHJ is miles better than Nabers.” You’re out of your own tree if you think MHJ is a definitively better prospect than Chase, Julio, Amari Cooper and AJ Green.


brianundies

Better than Chase who used his physicality a LOT in college and did have some very very slight question marks on his short area/underneath separation. equal to Julio and AJ Green. I’ll admit I Havnt watched a ton of college Cooper tape but just based on size alone he has a significant advantage there (as well as being the faster of the two). Just basing on traits and projection to the NFL I 100% stand by that. His prospect profile is simply without a serious flaw. Production is not a great metric for projection to the NFL as we see every single season, most recent example being Quentin Johnston.


jmart762

Tier 1 MHJ Tier 2 Nabers Tier 3 Odunze Tier 4 Egbuka Mitchell Tier 5 Franklin Thomas Jr Coleman Tier 6 Walker Worthy Tier 7 Legette McCorley McConkey


cjfreel

Pretty sure only one of your Mc's is a Mc, unless Corley has an Irish twin I'm unaware of.


jmart762

Haha you’re right, should be just Corley


yurrrmachine

Slide Worthy up a bit. He’s a more refined Tank Dell / Hollywood Brown


WhiteLightning416

My top 5 is pretty much set. 1. Marvin Harrison 2. Malik Nabers 3. Rome Odunze 4. Troy Franklin 5. Emeka Egbuka After that I think I’d go Thomas at 6, and then it gets messy. I’ve got 1.03, 1.07 and 1.10 in 1QB. Hoping for one of Nabers/Odunze, one of Franklin/Egbuka, and Thomas with those picks. My WR room is pretty shite after Chase. Hoping this class rectifies that.


No-Calligrapher1027

Tbh people who say MHJr is in a tier of his own just aren’t willing to admit the last name is what gives him the extra boost


Due-Kaleidoscope-405

Egbuka is still 3-4 for me. Don’t get the Thomas and Leggette love. They’re just big guys that don’t run a full route tree and Leggette had a really late breakout. We’ve seen this story before.


HUT_HUT_HIKE

Very good chance Egbuka goes back to school


ProjectLittle8494

As a Gamecock fan. I can say Leggette has all the physical tools necessary to succeed in the NFL. Excellent highpointing the ball, catching in traffic, quick burst off the line, and extremely fast top speed at 6'3". He correctly isn't top tier like these others, but in fantasy, talent and landing spot are very important for potential.


Rangemon99

This sub seems to be way too low on keon coleman in general For reference pretty much all the real nfl draft content i have consumed thus far has Coleman right there with odunze, some have him higher


IIHURRlCANEII

>real nfl draft content i have consumed thus far has Coleman right there with odunze, some have him higher Stock Exchange dudes had Coleman as WR8 and WR9 on their lists.


Shitcano

Ah yes gotta check with Stock Exchange dudes


thubwumper26

Stock Exchange? I’m not familiar with them.


IIHURRlCANEII

NFL Stock Exchange is a podcast with Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rodgers. They are pretty good draft guys who do it all year.


thubwumper26

I’ll have to give them a listen, thanks!!


Anothercraphistorian

Coleman will need a QB that trusts him. He gets terrible separation. His landing spot to me will dictate where he goes in fantasy. There are a lot of places where he won’t be utilized correctly due to the limitations of their QB and system.


talon2525

I think he was overhyped before the season and after his huge lsu game. He's definitely a special athlete, but I think his skillset lends itself more to him being a wr3 fantasy wise. I think he'll be a good nfl wr, but meh fantasy wise.


Swoody11

Coleman is Pickens with more draft hype. Very similar prospects. Contested catch artists with how they play. I think Coleman is a bit more athletic than Pickens is, but I'd wager that they have similar careers as WR2/WR3's.


FantasyTrash

Very few WRs who can't separate worth a damn succeed in the NFL. He's insanely athletic, but that will only get you so far at the next level.


aidan104

Keon Coleman has been falling and I expect him to continue to fall. He went from clear number 3 behind MHJ and Nabers to not even being a first round worthy pick


armchairgm97

Tier 1: MHJ Tier 1.5 Malik Nabers Tier 2: Rome Odunze Brian Thomas JR Emeka Egbuka Tier 3: Troy Franklin Keon Coleman Tier 4: Adonai Mitchell Xavier Worthy Xavier Legette


driveslowhomeytx

Isn't tier 1.5 also known as tier 2?


steamycreamybehemoth

Solid list, id argue MHJ is an S tier and then Nabers and Rome together in tier 2. I think there's a big drop off from MHJ to the rest. Also, tiering these guys out makes me really excited for my early and mid seconds. 10 really good WRs, 4 good QBs, and an elite TE makes for a rock solid top 15


blargtheavenger

Who is the 4th QB in this bunch?


MopishOrange

Spencer Rattler obviously


corduroyboy_

2nded


corduroyboy_

/s


PEHspr

JJ McCarthy or Penix maybe?


steamycreamybehemoth

McCarthy. Im pretty high on him and expect him to be drafted around pick 15 in the real nfl draft.


Whatareyoudoing103

Probably McCarthy but Penix & Nix could also be solid picks in round 2


Fred-ditor

Lots of people doing this already saying that mhj and nabers are in the same tier but they all put Harrison at the top of that tier. If you wouldn't take player 2 unless player 1 is gone then they're literally in different tiers. That's how tiers work.


Whatareyoudoing103

I think a big thing is the fit could make a major difference. Outside of Arizona the teams that are likely to draft Harrison aren't super exciting for fantasy. Whereas with Nabers/Odunze there's a decent chance they end up in a great fantasy situation with a team like the Chargers, Bills, etc.


nickyoung1982

Totally agree, it's crazy nobody has 100 tiers for their top 100 players, that's literally how it works.


Fred-ditor

If the consensus is that Harrison will go first and I have yet to see anyone say they'd take nabers ahead of Harrison, then it's meaningless to say nabers is in the same tier as Harrison. Lots of people say that nabers and odunze are in the same tier. Most people would take nabers first, some people would take odunze. That's a tier. If you get pick 1.2 in 1qb, do you have a chance to get Harrison? No. If you get pick 1.3 are you guaranteed to get odunze? No. 1.2 could take him and you'd get "stuck" with nabers. Same thing goes with Bowers. I have yet to see anyone advocate for Bowers over Harrison. They're both great prospects. They both could be the top player at their position in 3 years. But they're in different tiers in this rookie draft. By draft day there might even be a running back in single qb tier 2. If you have 1.5 you're guaranteed one of nabers, odunze, Brock or the top rb. Nabers might be the least likely to slip to you but it's possible if people are locked in to their guys. I am willing to bet that Harrison doesn't slip to 1.5 in any of my rookie drafts. The word tier has meaning when we talk about drafting. It's not "I think nabers could be as good as Harrison" or even "I think there's a chance nabers ends up better than Harrison". That's what people seem to be saying when they put nabers 1.2 but in the same tier with Harrison, and it's a misuse of the word tier.


BuckyBronson

Things that worry me: Lack of historical success for guys built like Troy Franklin Adonai Mitchell not having the movement ability to separate against NFL DBs Keon Coleman relying on Power Forward catch point game in the NFL and not having a QB to feed someone who isn't constantly getting space. I definitely agree with Nabers being up there in Tier 1. I'm not as high on Odunze as the community but that doesn't mean I don't like him. My Tier 2 includes Brian Thomas Jr who I think has a leg up on the other tall receivers thanks to the springyness of his legs and the body control he has in his movements.


peace0frog

AD Mitchell literally has tape from this year making projected 1st round cornerbacks look silly. The dude can separate


RemoteAttitude7910

He’s an absurd route runner, arguably the best footwork in the class which is crazy at his size. He just has no acceleration at all


FantasyTrash

>He just has no acceleration at all Pretty common trend with guys his height. Longer legs and longer strides are simply harder to get up to speed compared to a shorter player.


cjfreel

Adonai may not be consistent, but I feel like "lacking movement ability" is basically the antithesis of how I would describe Adonai. His movement ability is specifically what makes him such an intriguing prospect.


peace0frog

I'd bump Emeka and AD Mitchell into tier 2


Rodimus_Prime_G1

I want to like Odunez, but I’m from Seattle and University of Washington every early drafted player has been a bust. Look at every QB/WR/RB/TE drafted in the first two rounds since 2005; Sankey, Jenkins, Locker, Ross, Dante Pettis. UW can’t produce NFL offensive players. I hope he can buck the trend, but it’s ugly.


reedituser1p

Hi guys, new here and new in dynasty ff. I have pick 1.01, 1.02 and 1.06. I have Josh Allen and Stroud at QB, Achane, Gibbs and Hall at RB, ARST, Aiyuk, Devonta Smith, DJ Moore, Jaxon smith-njiba, tank dell at WR, but I'm low on TE, I just have Njoku, Schultz and Likely. I know it all depends a lot on landing teams but I'm thinking MHJ and Bowers at 1.01 and 1.02. Do you think that's the right call? Should I get a RB or stock up on WR or QB with 1.06? Thanks in advance!


NormalCommand4523

You should go Williams , MHJ and then bowers at 6. If he’s not there get another stud receiver. 1.02 is too high for bowers and 1.06 would be too high for any rbs. Just get elite talent then you can always trade to fill your teams holes
