Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba the No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL Draft? | Joel Klatt Show

[@roris5882]

JSN is talented enough to be a #1 WR option because he already did it at OSU next to 2 NFL first round studs. He knows how to use the entire field, he can always get open, and he catches everything thrown at him. He will be his QB's best friend on the field.

[@hyperchronicxlc]

Playing next to Wilson and Olave, he was DEF not the #1 designated option. He just outperformed both of them as mainly a slot guy.

[@authorjeffkosiba290]

I took some heat for proclaiming Ohio St. as my preseason National Champs and while I will admit I was wrong in the end, Joel is 100% correct in his main takeaway from this video in that if Marvin stays in the game Ohio State wins. If JSN had played Ohio State wins by double digits.

[@AyeItsTaee]

Even if JSN is healthy they still were not better than Michigan which is crazy

[@thad8909]

@@AyeItsTaee Michigan is not better than OSU, sorry that is just delusional. Joel just got done saying UGA was better than UM and that we would have beat UGA with JSN. Michigan just had a better game plan the day they beat OSU. OSU would win 5 or 6 out of 7 times.

[@AyeItsTaee]

@@thad8909 when you lose by 3 TDs to a team there is no way in hell you’re winning 5-6 times out of 7 and it’s the 2nd year in a row 2 or more scores.

@@thad8909 Delusion is a false belief. They played each other and one team lost by 22. You seem to be the delusional one.

[@kevinchavis2755]

@@AyeItsTaee Michigan was better that day but Ohio State was a better team. They play again OSU beats them. When you put the performance vs Georgia without JSN, Trey Henderson, Miyan Williams combined with TCU beating Michigan combined with Georgia destroying TCU come on now OSU was a fg kick away from a national title.

[@AvantiMusicNJ]

One of the analysts was saying JSN is the best route runner they have ever seen. He’s gonna be an absolute monster in the league

[@Saylin021]

The lighting in the thumbnail makes it feel like I'm about to be murdered lmaooo And Joel's unfortunate facial expression it paused on

[@johnroger8563]

Spot on again. JSN would have been the difference maker for sure.

[@NateBee]

He outshined Wilson and Olave at Ohio State by a mile. I think he’s going to be incredible at the next level.

[@Soopology]

Jaxon can & WILL play outside. The tape shows slot because OSU had Olave & Garrett lol. It's that simple. I believe he will excel more initially out of the slot, but he is a very capable outside guy as well.

[@CFBonFOX]

Will Jaxon Smith-Njigba be the first WR drafted?

[@NateBee]

Definitely should be, but NFL scouts prove every year that they’re idiots.

[@food4thought241]

Yes

[@reginaldoyasay4593]

If Marvin Harrison Jr wasn’t injured they probably would’ve won that game too

[@commonsense3921]

What if they had both 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@LukeXlll]

The big reason that JSN is the best receiver in this class is that he dominated next to Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, two NFL studs. The guy had 1600 yds next to WIlson's 1000 and Olave's 900. Insane!

[@ajhaynes5721]

I don’t disagree. Playing devils advocate do you think that JSN’s production was party due to the fact that Wilson and Olave played outside and drew double coverage? It let JSN cook inside and against backers and nickels. I still think he’s the best or second best in this class. Asking your opinion

[@cincydooley]

@@ajhaynes5721 Must be why he performed so well against Utah.

[@ajhaynes5721]

@@cincydooley Cmon…. He played well no doubt. Let’s not let 1 game tell the whole story. He’s the #1 receiver in this draft. Absolutely. But nothing I said in the previous post was inaccurate. If you disagree I’m all ears.

[@cincydooley]

@@ajhaynes5721 I think it’s just as likely Garret and Olave benefited From him. They both seem to think so

[@ajhaynes5721]

@@cincydooley I don’t disagree. That said JSN hasn’t gotten to the league and he had a great season with those 2. Only played 3 games without them. So he’s never been a true number 1.

[@commonsense3921]

If he ends up as the best slot receiver in the League then he will most likely be the 1# Receiver on the team he’s on Joel Klatt.

[@stephcurran1724]

JSN perfect fit for the pats, Belichick loves slot guys more than any other coach

[@Kittonwy]

I like jsn but they already have Bourne who runs a 4.68 but a great 3 cone, the only difference being Bourne isn't the smartest route runner

I agree with the statement. I disagree with your last line. I agree that if JSN played versus Georgia OSU probably wins, but I don’t think that’s a testament to “how good he is” I think it’s a testament to how close it was. With that said, there’s also the chance that if you played that game 10 more times, that’s the only time OSU is within 10.

[@cincydooley]

Lol. They were going to win until Harrison went out. 1 win out of 10 is laughable.
