I love diego, even though I grew up outside of LA (Azusa) one of the best places you could live in the usa imo.

post katrina I saw 4 bed 3 bath 2400 sq ft houses on hwy 90( next step after you cross 90 is in sand lol) going for 150-250 depending on condition and house "raising costs"  insane value to me.

My brother moved down there for college at USD, never came back because he loved it so much. Best weather in the country in that city, best beach-life in the country, microbrewery capital of the entire world, way better traffic than LA/Bay, the food scene is not far off from LA. Not to mention Diego is way cheaper than LA/Bay.

Outside of the big 3 falling, Mims is the only WR I select at 19 if we don’t get one of them at 12. Pass on Jefferson for me. 
 

Mims has the highest ceiling of the class for sure. He’s a risk, but he’s not Boom or Bust. He has a decent floor. Although his floor is definitely much behind Jeudy, Ruggs, Lamb, and Jefferson.

4.38 with his size is scary good. Like McLaurin last year, except he’s a definitely a better prospect than McLaurin heading into the draft.

Agreed. A city with a lot of trees/green. Breathing is so noticeably better, it’s crazy. California sucks for breathing, especially the Central Valley from Stockton all the way down to Bakersfield. The sky is gray in Bakersfield and Fresno lol. 
 

Yup some of the worst air qualitg in the country. The consequences of being below sea level and surrounded by ag. Despite the username, no longer live in Stk. Moved to the northern bay area some years ago. Feel like I added years to my life with the air quality difference.

I’m in the same boat as your brother. I moved to La Jolla/UCSD area for Physical Therapy school after living in Northern California my whole life...idk if I’ll be able to leave. Never thought I’d live by the water but I can see why people don’t want to leave. It makes everything better and everyone’s mood around here is A1. Pricing isn’t ideal obviously but I’d rather have a smaller house with a good location then live in a larger house with nothing of note in my surrounding area.

Chris Simms is not my buddy and I highly disagree with his Jeudy assessment. Jeudy has been #1 WR for me since December. He’s the only WR I have in my “Blue Chip Prospects”. 

Calling a player with no elite traits "blue chip" is cringe worthy. This is HB level drraft stuff where we just start calling a good player "blue chip"/

There isn't a blue chip WR in this class. Blue chip WRs are guys like Julio, Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, etc. Elite size, speed, catch radius and hands. physical specimens who can contort their bodies to make any catch. Blue chip WRs are RARE. 

Jeudy doesn't have elite speed, he's undersized, not good in contested catch, gets dropsies when contested. He's not even a good red zone target. He's a great route runner and run after the catch. 

That's not worth a top 5 pick where a "blue chip" WR would be taken.

Has Mims become your new Aiyuk? You said Aiyuk had the highest ceiling in this class previously. 

I find it ironic that when draft twitter/media was talking up Aiyuk weeks back, you said he had the highest ceiling of any WR in the class. This week, draft twitter/media are talking up Mims and now HE has the high ceiling in the class.

Was just in La Jolla. I have family in Costa Mesa and every time I am out there, I want to move out there. There really is something about being near water. Good way of life. Ironic part is, I do most my business in CA, but live in Atlanta. It's a cool place, just wish it was on water lol.

We have different definitions of Blue Chip Prospects, which is totally fine. Not one size fits all. Ones you’re describing to me are more so Generational Talents. I have three generational prospects in this class and six Blue Chip guys, one being Jeudy. If you disagree with that, cool. But that’s just an opinion on your part, just like it’s an opinion on my part.
