Williams is my defacto #1 bust candidate among the WRs. He has Devin Smith written all over him. But hes like....a less accomplished Devin Smith. Speaking of Devin Smith--Chris Olave is like Devin Smith in terms of ball tracking, body control and speed BUT has route running, IQ and hands that Devin Smith never had. The real list (according to me) is as follows......lotta Big10 guys. WR1- Chris Olave WR2- Garrett Wilson <--- might have a higher ceiling than Olave, extremely OBJ-esq. WR3- Drake London WR4- Jameson Williams/Jahan Dotson WR5- Jahan Dotson/Jameson Williams WR6- Treylon Burks Jameson Williams was targeted 102 times in 2021, Chris Olave was targeted 103 times, and Wilson was also targeted 103 times. So how was he force fed? Unless they were all force fed that’s is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was averaging 135 yds/gm pre injury. He was having a monster year and had obviously take a big step forward while Olave was still the same guy. The one area where I don’t see Olave getting enough credit is his TDs: 35 to only 15 for London. I’m not sure if that’s bc people are attributing it to the Ohio St system that puts a ton of points or what. Not saying I think one is better than the other but it’s not hard to understand why London moved ahead of Olave (and others) in the minds of a lot of people. How much of those raw stats were because London was the only good receiving threat on the team and Olave spent his career competing for targets with other good WRs like McLaurin and Wilson and still managed to become the leading WR in Ohio State history Edited March 26, 2022 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velus Jones couldn’t see the field at USC and just had a good year at UT and is going to be drafted. London was definitely “the guy” at USC this year but they still have a lot of talent on their roster. I mean you could make the arguement that Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson being on the field together made it a lot easier on them since defenses couldn’t focus on just one of them. Where as defenses were scheming to stop London and still couldn’t do it. Edited March 26, 2022 by AllThingsTN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Drake London is the alpha in this receiver group. He is going to be a QBs best friend and continue to develop. Plays the game with passion and wants to dominate. Don’t pass on him if you need a WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchDJ Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I’m taking 5 WRs before Drake London. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllThingsTN Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It’s so hard to rank this group of receivers. If I had to it’d be something like: 1: Drake London 2: Garrett Wilson 3: Treylon Burks 4: Jameson Williams 5: Chris Olave 6: George Pickins 7: Jahan Dotson 8: Christian Watson 9: Skyy Moore 10: Calvin Austin 1-5 are all really close for me though and tough to put a number on. There’s a lot to like about all 10 of these guys and some of the guys after them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the top 5 guys go in the top 20-25 picks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, I'll be looking at his 10yd split and 3 cone the most--which seem to correlate to success for WRs more than the 40 or even the shuttle.

I am not taking him in the top ten...he's the type of guy I'd take at the end of round 1. Maybe a minor quibble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the tweener bit, but he does need polish on his routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
