Just making some observations.
Cedric Tillman is widely regarded as a 2nd or 3rd round prospect by almost everyone. Day 3 seems like a bit of wanting him to fall. I like him a lot more than you do and have him firmly in round 2. I see him in every way you don't and don't see him in any way you do. He doesn't have great downfield speed but he's a fantastic route runner that's quick off the snap and gets in and out of breaks with quickness to create his separation. He is fearless in traffic and makes some really tough catches. He's agile enough to make YAC. I watched Florida and Alabama games from 2021 and came away impressed with him even if he didn't have the best games (I think he had a couple of catches against Florida and a couple of bad false start penalties against Alabama). A lot of issues were some not-so-great QB play by Hooker last year and a scripted offense. He's a 50/50 blocker for me. Sometimes he's great other times he's not so great. He also needs to work 100% of the time when he knows the ball isn't coming his way, which he doesn't do all the time. He's a guy that I could definitely see in a JuJu role though and he's better than stats might suggest.
I really do like Xavier Hutchinson a bunch. I had him in mocks last year before he decided to stay another year. He's solidly a 3rd round player for me.
Like you, I'm not high on Harrison. I'm much higher on McGuire, who you mention. There's a lot to be said about measurements versus football players. McGuire is a a ****ing good football player. Harrison is measurements that never amounted to a good football player. I'd take McGuire on day 2 and not even blink. If he's there in the 4th I'd be all ****ing over it. I think of McGuire like Bolton. Sometimes a guy is just ****ing good at his job.
Jarrett Patterson is widely thought of as a 3rd round pick. I see no conceivable way he's even remotely near the 6th round unless there is some medical I don't know about. He's far too good to fall that far. He might go 2nd round. He might go 4th round. But he sure as shit aint going in the 6th.
Smith-Njigba, for as good as much talent as was at Ohio State, was the best WR on the field in 2021. Maybe I'm just a homer, but he's insane. That said, his hamstring issue is a MAJOR concern, not his ability on the field. Sure, he lined up off the line primarily but he has lined up everywhere. The guy is a near-impossible cover. He's a more refined Kadarius Toney coming out. It's not his ability that is a concern because his ability is a top-20 draft pick. No doubts from me.
