In related news, I have now scouted over 20 of the WRs in this year's class. Going into the Combine, the guys that I had first round grades on were the main 3 as well as Brian Thomas, Keon Coleman, and Troy Franklin. I think the Combine likely pushed Thomas out of our reach. Meanwhile, Franklin had a very poor performance that has me a little less confident in spending a 1st round pick on him. Coleman had a pretty good Combine overall but his 40 time was slow enough to add another red flag to a pretty long list of red flags, so I'm not as confident about him either. I think push comes to shove, I'd still be willing to take those guys at 28, but I think there's a pretty strong case to be made at this point that we could take a different position at 28 or trade down and take someone else in the early-mid 2nd round; might even still get Coleman or Franklin in that range if we luck out. I would say I roughly see the class as follows (of the guys I've scouted so far):

Tier 1: Harrison, Nabers, Odunze
Tier 2: Brian Thomas
Tier 3: Coleman, Franklin, Jacob Cowing, Ladd McConkey
Tier 4: Ricky Pearsall, Ja'Lynn Polk, Adonai Mitchell, Brenden Rice, Roman Wilson
Tier 5: Malachi Corley, Xavier Legette

It's an insanely deep WR class, but I think we may have found ourselves in the no man's land where all of the 1st round caliber guys will be off the board by the time we pick and if you wait until pick 60, you might be left with like 1 or 2 guys from the first 4 tiers.
