Tell you what.

Me vs You.

You're convinced you're some kind of WR guru and every player you like has untapped potential. Since I'm not as smart as you, contest.

You get Christian Watson. I will take a player drafted after the 1st round to beat him.

Deal?

and now you want to move the goalposts to a completely different game.

I'm not the one claiming to be a WR guru, you literally have done exactly that-claiming that you had Hardman, McLaurin and Metcalf all nailed. Yet nobody can find any such thing.

I'm but a semi-knowledgeable fan. I watch some video, I read multiple scouting reports from different sources, and I think about what my eyes tell me from watching football my entire life. I love the chess match, personally, that's my favorite thing about the NFL. I make educated guess based on all of those things.

I'm no guru. As I've said many, many times-I'm not advocating for Watson in round 1. I think the questions about his rawness are legit. I think questions about the athletic ability are not. I think category one is serious enough that I wouldn't take him in round one but I would take him in the 2nd. IF Veach and Reid take him in round one, it's because they're confident in the kid's desire to be great and handle the Reid offense. IF they do, then I'll defer to them on that.

But I wouldn't. Don't try to paint this like I'm dying on the Watson hill. I'm just keeping the conversation honest and based in logic.

You're the one that's only seen two WR's get way better at route running from college to the NFL.

I say that if that's true, you haven't seen much football.
LOL

So you going to play or not?

If you're chicken on Watson now take anyone else not projected top 40.

I'll play. Call your WR.

Nobody has to die. Just one of us.

Alright, Jon Snow.

I'll tell you what:

John Metchie will outperform 50% of the WR's taken before him in years 2 and 3. First year's likely a wash, but will be for Jameson too. Rawer guys have a year to get coached up. Years 2 and 3.

That's my deal. That's the hill I pick.

let's make this contest a sticky, put it up top there in this forum, and I'll see you in 2024.

Cool. Metchie is solid, I expect he will be around the NFL for a while..though I don't see much upside. I value him like Zach Pascale.

I take Khalil Shakir, Boise State.

Obviously situation can put any pick in usage danger but I like my guy well enough that I'll ride with the risk.

Well, I think Metchie ends up a Chief, so there's that.
