2024 NFL Draft WR ranks reax +

Ahmed is quite possibly the nicest man in sports media.

​@@ctay7216 I'm not a fan of the whole 'I smoke weed schtick' from Chris though. It's really pathetic. I like Chris, don't get me wrong. But I wish he'd stop with that, it's just not clever. It's kinda sad.

[@chuckchuckerson5364]

I don't know why people get upset at rankings. Honestly, I think your breakdown is great. I don't agree with all of it, but at least you back it up with "the why". Most "analysts" out there just parrot consensus takes, at least you scout the players yourself. When I first stumbled on your channel, I really wasn't a fan; but you've won me over, and for the last couple of years, this has become one of my favorite shows. I rewatch many episodes multiple times. Keep doing you, you're f*cking awesome.

[@Onelove2000]

Same here, this is the first analysis I've ever seen from Ahmed and Simms. I almost didn't watch because of the perception of Simms. But I was way off. These guys know their shit and i just found a new podcast that comes at a different angle than most sports podcasts.. I usually never go with the crowd. I do my own research on an individual or a news story. I did for Simms and it's just a reminder to do my research and not assume the worst because a high paid analyst says Simms takes are horrible

[@rjonesy3480]

Ahmed with the best take I’ve heard on the draft since Florio sayin there shouldn’t be one.

[@MADNESS084]

On the running back argument. The money shifted to the o line who saw a huge increase in profit this year alone. They pave the way for running backs and quarterbacks.

[@craigburgess7105]

Agree with the point on the RB position. Due to the limited playing span of the skill position it needs to be valued in a different way to other positions.

[@anthonyperkins8961]

The easiest way to help RBs make more money is protect them on the field… stopping letting them become hitting dummies when the play is dead

[@michael3829kkao]

I think the reason no one would say You're crazy for your top 5 NFL WR is that there is no consensus about that. People don't scout players themselves, but they know there is a consensus among mock drafters that Harrison is the best WR in the draft or at worse second, so when you say he is not it's easy for them to call you out.

[@noshttaken]

It’s good to have a different prediction tho. That’s all these are educated guesses, any of em could bust. Everyone having the same consensus on a prediction with an absurd amount of variables , is definition of group think.

[@la7era1u54]

MHJ is by far the most overrated player in the draft. He is all media hype. He was the 4th best WR in college football last season

[@derekbaker3265]

[@dodu8281]

@@PoetsPlayhouse maybe he didnt get the luxury from the other top guys that stayed in the same system with an elite qb, like washington or lsu. he didnt settle down in georgia, got transferred, took him a while in alabama.

[@ItsNotInTheCards]

Glad Chris gave Burton some love. He kinda feels lost in the shuffle at the moment. I think he could go high 2nd though, off film.

[@jeremiahw1369]

The running back market is not free. They are the biggest victim of the rookie wage scale. The rookie running backs would be able to get the top of the market money from the start if not for the draft. I agree with Chris about the solution possibilities tied to incentive based pay bringing any productive back up to market rate. Then, the cycle of getting replaced by a new draft pick would be broken, and meritocracy would rule the regulated, not free market.

[@googlechicken]

Florida St kid guarding Nabors was Renardo Green. He will be playing in the NFL next year so yup he is pretty good

[@ben98_669]

Get a genuine vibe from Chris when he says he’s not being a hot take artist unlike most of the media which I love even if I don’t agree with something

[@IrishRaiderLarryMullinsJr]

I've got no problem with Simms's analysis, I trust him on that for the most part but he's always been more right than wrong on this stuff so WTF is people's problem? Do I always agree, no and that's ok.

[@nakaine7]

You should see how ppl react on twitter over his rankings LOL they get pissed

[@grantgrant6746]

I still think running backs should work off of usage payouts eg. every 50 touches = $200,000 payout on top of their guarantee and incentives money.

[@drew284]

This is the most sensible solution. They need compensation for the hits they take, not just for their performance. Hazard pay

[@GKA11111]

Great video Chris

[@TeddytheCorgi1]

Wide receiver is a very important position, Joe Schmo doesn't do almost as well as Tyreek Hill, that's the difference with rbs, they're more dependent on the o line.

[@AJDAMR11]

Ahmed. A free market is not always the best sometimes you need regulation - case in point. Wall St or finance in general. What would a true free market do? Crash the economy

[@OK-zq8ut]

Good point, but the NFL isn't a free market. Players are forced out of the draft into a contract that ties them for 3 to 5 years. I agree with Simms, RBs like Pacheco shouldn't be forced to play for 5 years under miniscule contracts (while contributing greatly to Superbowls) then thrown away because of the nature of the position (shorter life span which will be used against him if he reaches free agency).

[@winstonsyme5899]

Agree. And I am a libertarian. Free minds and free markets. But I know if it was up to JUST the market we would still be driving with leaded gasoline.

[@middgrad06]

Chris should predict which rookie receivers and quarterbacks will have the better seasons once he finds out which teams they are drafted to

[@winebuyah]

"Asian Agents" is some of yer finest work, Christopher David... sounds like a K-Pop band...

[@RKGrizz]

If the RB's get to free agency after hitting an arbitrary number of yards, the teams will just limit their carries until year 2.

[@OK-zq8ut]

WR won't go the way of RB because there is more variety. Tyreek Hill can't do what Deebo can, neither can do what Mike Evans can, etc.

[@clarkbowen8158]

I'm a Packer fan and the Lions are killing it. Reader, Davis. Davenport is a bum imo, but damn they are loaded. They don't have many holes. Definitely edge rusher, maybe some interior o-line and T depth?

[@devmo_SD]

I was about to rewind when I thought I heard Chris accidentally saying Asians and then he addresses shortly after is hilarious

[@scruffd0g193]

Chris Simms and his Draft Rankings are always ridiculous. Zach Wilson 2021??

[@n8ball02]

It isnt that Simms put MHJR at 3, its the fact that he put him at 3 behind Brian Thomas Jr at 2. Many people think Nabers is 1. Ibe heard a few Odunze is above Nabers from other so maybe they think he is 1. If Chris said Nabers, Odunze, MHJR not many people would freak. But he has BTJT at 2. Then has Rome at like 4 or whatever.

[@wasssuuuppp]

People are overreacting, he’s literally calling him a star. It’s not that serious lol

[@wayne5913]

Talking and having a conversation like Armed and Chris , instead of over talking or ranting and raving is much more refreshing than the alternative . I refuse to watch those rabble rouser guys anymore and i think the trend will continue with other viewers also . There is enough hate in the World . But Chris . You do not swear so much to make a point . Trust Me .

[@NathanRhwmf]

I’ve been trying to preach about the MHJ not being the guaranteed top receiver on team’s boards for months now. No Cardinals fans or social media want to hear it.

The amount of times Chris says "right" at the end of a sentence drives me insane.

[@scottritchey6737]

Drake Maye depends on how quickly he can fix his footwork! I think his accuracy will greatly increase with proper footwork but if he is forced to play it is very hard to learn footwork

[@davidofthecruz]

Hey big Homie! Can you rank the Offensive Line big butts?

[@ryerob4815]

It's funny how different people can say opposite things about a player. Like everyone is saying Harrison has the best releases and its not even close. I've heard PFF break it down saying Neibors doesn't even use his hands at the line much and gets jammed often and although he gets open it takes him a minute to get open when he is pressed. Also, there is no way that man is 200 pounds or more on GameDay.

[@digitalplainsmedia9466]

For the running backs - what about giving them the option of shaving off the last two years of their rookie deal aftet their first season?

[@hendog5396]

Harrison and Nabers are 1 & 2, Nabers over Harrison isn’t insane, BTJ over Harrison is pretty nuts. It would be hilarious is he’s right and people come back in a couple years saying “well, well, well”

[@patrickpascal1225]

I mean it’s just his opinion, but I feel most opinions have no weight or research into them and as they said in the show just go with popular consensus. But I don’t get the uproar, 1/3 of the first round will be busts anyways 😅

[@spoogtastic]

Im not sure people are shocked simms isnt consensus, its more his history with wr prospects...at least for me. In the past few years his personal preference for explosive guys hasnt turned out to be good for his rankings, in wr that is. At least my reading of it. Simms saying he didnt get any pushback means literally nothing, he didnt get push back on will anderson and olave and garrett either.

[@bryans1883]

No he said he got pushback on Garret Wilson the very next pod. I still think he's wrong about BTJ over Marvin Harrison.

[@banks4115]

Nabers was already pretty closely graded to MHJ. Thomas over Harrison is where we need more information.

[@kevenadrien]

Lmao people love to cry about subjective topics like the draft. Caleb has the exact same chance of being a bust, as Pratt does. It’s all a 50/50 shot no matter how well they look and perform in college.

[@Bryheim.]

How is this a free market when there is a salary cap?

[@Cirzaah]

I do not see the route running or release from Nabers. I do not know what Chris is seeing. He’s clearly a top tier athlete but I see a shocking lack of nuance for a wideout rated so high

[@JJ-zr6fu]

He’s always open his worst game this year was 80 yards and that’s with teams keying on him. MHJ had 39 yards vs Notre dame

[@Cirzaah]

@@JJ-zr6fu Id be open all game too if the only coverage I face is a safety sitting flat footed 12 yards away. He does all his damage essentially running routes on air, he has far too many wasted steps and he rounds the top out instead of breaking it off. He gets by with speed and athleticism. I see the projection I just don’t think he’s worthy of going over Odunze, MHJ, or even Brian Thomas for that matter

[@ced9938]

Simple fix for runningbacks your market is 1 year deals or 2-3 year deals fully guaranteed unless you're getting offered mccaffrey or kamara deals. If you're market is 4-6 million get that shit fully guaranteed or if you have a team that wants to exceed that and is offering 8 ok 2 year 16 guarantee. They can't pull the you're a huge cap hit bullshit

[@chiprenner]

Jackie Chan is tampering?

[@FrederickHolmes-hz2hs]

What happened to Xavier Worthy he should be a late first round draft pick

[@domdomdiddy3036]

I dont think the issue was Chris putting Nabers at 1, that's reasonable. The issue is having BTJ at 2 and a tier above Marvin. Thats unacceptable cuz it means he has the first 2 clearly better than MHJ and thats just not true.

[@someguyio3654]

Chris does over value athleticism when making WR Evals. The WR position is highly technical. Which is why so many Productive WRs did not run fantastic times.

[@themoneyman1752]

I wonder what Simms thinks about Brenden Rice?? He reminds of the Puca type

[@buddysteele7624]

Wow Ahmed…so typical and why you’re captain of the struggle bus. You say “I wanted to understand LSU’s situation more so I went to the numbers (stats)” haha wow. Not the film? Not the actual game that tells you everything about the stats?? Simms should’ve slapped you across the face after hearing that. A football analyst, when wanting to understand a football team more, goes to the stats before going to the actual play. (Breaking news: Ahmed will never go to the actual film and watch it. All he’s good for are stats that he just looked up as Simms was talking)

[@Tyler_tha_narrator]

I feel Thomas may be an even better pro than Nabers. But Im glad im not the only one who thinks MH Jr isnt the best WR in the draft.

[@AnonIncognitowoman]

Why would anyone give pushback and show their hand?

[@Shadowangel5760]

Chargers have literal door dashers as receivers, you know what helps the run game? Having a passing game and receiver's that can get separation (which none currently on the roster have been able to do) and get open when they need it. This is the NFL not college and its changed since Jim was here last and any team that did anything last year had a top tier WR or TE, the chargers currently have neither of those. They're going Nabers at 5, this OL at 5 bullshit needs to stop, they're currently paying the RT 10mil a year and you want him to be a back up for 10mil a year.. miss me with that shit man. IF they trade back it better be for bowers at 11 and then with the late first you can go OL DL or CB, but a LT who you want to convert to RT which has a terrible track record of NOT working in the NFL at 5 is not it. Nabers or Bowers with their first pick and thats it.

[@donaldtillman4351]

The running backs should be paid, because they are the only skill position getting hit to make it still look like football. They should fight to not be hit in an unprotected position. Why don’t we get afforded the same protection? Then pay us!!
