Chris Trapasso has been studying these wide receivers for months and now he comes on the show to help us get ready for the NFL Draft. We start with initial thoughts and comparisons to other classes (1:00) and a word of warning about WRs drafted in the second round. We've also got quick news items (9:30) and who the Chiefs could take in Round 1 ... What's the best way to evaluate WR prospects (12:50)? Which WRs in this class are the best at getting open? And let's talk about the Big Three (19:40) of Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze. Chris has Nabers the highest. Then we'll talk about the polarizing Brian Thomas Jr. (24:00). Is he a true stud or too much of a project? Can he do anything other than go deep? And which WRs outside the Big Three can step in and be contributors as rookies (33:15)? ... Is this draft class overrated (36:30)? After we tackle that question we talk about Xavier Worthy and Troy Franklin (37:40), the bigger WRs (43:45) Xavier Legette, Adonai Mitchell and Keon Coleman, the slot WRs (50:00) Ricky Pearsall, Roman Wilson and Ladd McConkey and some more names to know (59:00) ...
