#387: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis on WR class with Brian Bosarge)

1. When it comes to the wide receivers in the 2023 NFL Draft, it is a very underwhelming group. Not only is there no Ja'Marr Chase-level prospect among them, there isn't even a prospect you can safely say is on the level that Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were headed into last year's draft. However, if you take a deeper look into this class, one can argue that if you need a receiver who can fill a "niche role" in an offense such as taking the top off of a defense or a reliable "move the chains" target, this draft has some solid options. Wouldn't you say so?

2. As of right now, the top WR (and the ninth overall player) on your board is Quentin Johnston of TCU. While there's quite a bit to like about Johnston, two major red flags stick out to me. First, his propensity for drops and second, the hit rate of Big-12 WR's drafted in the first round is not good, as Daniel Jeremiah noted. Why do you think Johnston has a very good chance to buck this trend?

3. Do you think there are plenty of good reasons to think that a healthy Jaxon Smith-Njigba has the highest floor out of any WR in this draft?

4. Why do you have a better grade on Cedric Tillman than on his far more ballyhooed Tennessee teammate Jalin Hyatt?

5. You mentioned that you have a sleeper WR prospect on your mind that isn't getting the attention he deserves. Who is that prospect and why do you love him so much?

6. Buy or Sell: Jordan Addison, Zay Flowers, Tyler Scott, Josh Downs, Marvin Mims, A.T. Perry, Tank Dell, Jonathan Mingo, Rashee Rice, Trey Palmer, Kayshon Boutte, Michael Wilson, Andre Iosivas, Jayden Reed, Puka Nucua
