The people wanna know
Will unity eat crow and say he was wrong if smith has a good rookie year?
What constitutes a "good" rookie year in your eyes?

Not about what I would constitute as, but you
Put it like this, what would he need to achieve year 1 for you to say this guy is the truth I was incorrect on my a***ysis

That's relative to what the rest of his rookie class does, and that's being generous because most of the guys I would consider to be his peers are already in the NFL.
Justin Jefferson (21) - 1,402 yards, 7 TD
CeeDee Lamb (21) - 1,017 yards, 6 TD
Tee Higgins (21) - 936 yards, 7 TD
Chase Claypool (22) - 889 yards, 11 TD
Jerry Jeudy (21) - 856 yards, 3 TD
Brandon Aiyuk (22) - 825 yards, 7 TD
Jefferson, Lamb, Jeudy, and Aiyuk all have first round draft capital, which is where Smith is currently projected to be drafted. He'll need to perform similarly, and also in-line with or above the first round receivers in his class
Najee Harris the same age as Smith but heβs only considering age when it comes to Smith
OP a lame

WR rankings updated for now as I wrap up 2020 film/analytics. Added Pitts to WR rankings, moved Seth Williams out of the top 10 and gave Waddle a big boost
RB and QB updates to come in the next few weeks
based on absolutely 0 game film or anything, i lowkey understand the Smith hate lol. i look at dudes body and see 0 potential for longevity and star power, but kid snapped this year .

Not trying to take anything away from him as far as his college resume goes. His junior and senior film is very good, but the frame is highly concerning
Couple that with the fact that he's projected to get high first round draft capital and it quickly becomes apparent that he's going to need to be a historical outlier to be successful in the league
Also worth noting that Waddle was on pace to outproduce Smith this year before he got injured. Once again not taking anything away from Smith but age, staying for 4th year and frame are all big knocks on him in my book

Pitts at WR2 like he should be π€
Rankings updated again post QB and RB film study + some pro day stuff factored in
Unlikely to change much from here on out unless a major injury or other unforeseen event occurs (God forbid)
New RB1, QB rankings have shifted a bit and WR rankings have shifted a bit as well

in a draft class that features "the greatest qb prospect ever", Kyle Pitts is the best player in this class

Andrew Luck not in this draft class
Andrew Luck not in this draft class
thats why i put that in quotes, i dont believe it either
personally i had pre injury Tua rated higher as a prospect (hot take, dont expect most to agree wit this)
Updated one last time before the draft, does not take into account landing spot or projected landing spot
