Here after the broncos draft Franklin and Nix 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ShawnEdwards-zv4lh]

Steve Smith has always been pretty on point with WR.

[@WhiteCheddar.]

Steve has no problem telling it like he sees it. He was undersized and speedy but he had to develop his game to be as good as he was. That's what makes his analysis valuable plus his no bs attitude

[@BearWithMeHere1]

Jerry Jeudy being a JAG was definitely on point

[@user-xu9kh3ws1x]

Except for recommending Mingo to the panthers

[@gangstaland1]

Troy Franklin is nice I think people are still sleeping on him

[@mkingadiffernce]

He’s ok

[@BlessedGT]

I said the same thing on his short. He will be an underrated pick! I think he’s round 1 talent no questions asked.

[@Mokuteke]

He’s Jaylin Hyatt 2.0 he isnt anything crazy he’ll be a solid deep threat but that’s about it

[@juant7120]

Jacob Cowing is more underrated than Troy. He's on the same level too

[@BlessedGT]

@@Mokuteke mans called em a glorified Jaylin hyatt 😂💀

[@daviddean7778]

The fact the league really let him fall to pick 102 to the broncos with nix is crazzzzy to me. I had a late 1st to 2nd round grade on him and for him to fall in the 4th is amazing for Denver.

[@brandonbrown7019]

Don’t let no “gauntlet drill” fool u.. he should’ve trained better to execute it but he’s a much better WR than he looked in the drills.. he’s good in real football

[@richtreonze489]

Hoping Sr. does a pre-draft updating rankings and such --- seems like this will be a fun class to try to project in the draft ..

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

Yep, top heavy. 3 studs up top, and a few key contributors.

[@cuttoit]

You already know!!

[@Mokuteke]

@@thatfantasynetwork132 it’s definitely not top heavy this might be the deepest wr class of all time. I can count 6 guys who can be number 1 options on playoff teams. And other guys who will contribute majorly right away

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

@@Mokuteke “it’s definitely not top heavy..” then goes on to say it 6 #1s lol wouldn’t that be too heavy? Anyways there’s only 3 stud WRs! The most of the others you probably like are fake-alphas…like Brian Thomas, AD Mitchell. And Keon Coleman. But I don’t want to waste my words arguing over the unseen, so check back on a year or two…Worthy, Franklin, and McConkey should be fine though.

[@Mokuteke]

@@thatfantasynetwork132 top heavy means there are a few great guys and everyone else is average or below average. Thats not the case in this draft

[@jessegemstonk5799]

Patiently waiting for Ricky Pearsall review

[@jordanborn1987]

did your mic drop out or not record? sounds like on-camera mic is picking up Steve's audio.

[@ajkelly451]

"... and his weekness... is speed" I know I'm listening to someone who knows what they're talking about when they see the nuance in this. Both you and @Thinking Football brought this point up and it can 100% be a challenge to overcome (i.e. requiring too many steps to cut or fake a corner and not being able to stop on a dime consistently).

[@WhiteCheddar.]

Weakness... but I concur. Track stars rarely work out

[@tonycasarrubia1394]

For the past hundred plus years nobody in football has complained about speed. This guy will be a good player.

[@Mokuteke]

That’s not true at all. I mean majority of the fast guys ever ain’t last long.

[@tommyg421]

Maybe look at all the wrs with the top 40 times, not exactly the best company 😂

[@tgctv7387]

You can't be JUST fast...is the point

[@Jaybrown223]

But he is known as a speed guy....he is much more.

[@Mokuteke]

@@Jaybrown223 how is he much more his routes are average and his route tree is limited. Being able to do one thin gr really well isn’t a bad thing people saying he’s a deep threat aren’t say he’s a bad player their only saying that’s the role that his skill sets projects to be

[@Mikegetsactive]

Welcome to Denver 💨

[@ajkelly451]

Dat Bo Nix / Franklin stack tho!

[@MallTopSoulja]

Steve smith your sleeping on Ricky Pearsall. He the most slept on wr in the draft and it’s not even close !!!

[@Stevesmithsr89]

[@keithfalconer7529]

He’s this year s Jalin Hyatt …. As a giants fan ….. I think he ll be similar as a rookie…. Maybe not volume but if he averages 17 a catch it won’t surprise me

[@KaidonSalter4Heisman]

Steve's shirt is on point

[@anonymousl2930]

Love the breakdowns I hope you do a breakdown on a big X receiver like Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette cause that’s a big panthers need

[@JAYBORNGREAT]

[@KwameFadhiliWilliams]

I agree with steve smith

[@Ryankam91]

Thank you for this. Now, maybe these other youtubers will stop saying Panthers will take him over ladd or keon.

[@achyuthakomarlu4539]

They took legette…

[@fitlifefitness8234]

I wanted the Patriots to draft him so bad. He was still on the board in the late rounds. His field speed seems faster than his 40 time. I think in the right system he’ll be good for 1000 yards seasons. They linked him up with Bo Nix his college teammate.

[@jobjg5900]

How is SS not in the HOF? I had to google that first.

[@YoungReazy007]

Gotta do Brian Thomas Jr next!

[@albertmolina1781]

Troy is definitely a sleeper.Skys the limit with this dude.Has a great coach

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

He runs pretty good routes to be that fast.

How do you feel about Brian Thomas Jr and do you think the Colts can get him with the 15 overall pick I’m a die hard Colts fan #coltsnation

[@thatfantasynetwork132]

He does feel like a Colts’ player…but he won’t be better than Pittman, so you’ll be wasting a first round pick on him.

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Pls do a video on Ricky Pearsall

[@user-pt8qm9hz9x]

Steve you are the goat! Which receiver should the chiefs take round one if they go that route?

Any of the deep threats. Worthy, Franklin, or if AD falls they should grab him

[@blissfest]

Better than Jerry Jeudy already lol 😂

[@96tolife]

These "analysts" talk about what somebody needs to "work on," but the issue is team fit. Will a team use him in the way that got him to the NFL to start? These guys are always compared to unicorns. Franklin had 81 receptions, 1383 yards, and 14 TDs last year. Oregon maximized what he did well. That is what you do with every player. He might be in the perfect position in Denver with Bo Nix. What was Randy Moss' "accessory"? He was blazing fast and athletic. It got him to the Hall of Fame. He "struggled" to get off the line and with his route running according to Mel Kiper Jr when he got drafted. Who cares? Just throw the ball up.

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

They got him at 6'3

[@kanthonybeats]

so this was the long way of saying he needs to hit the weights

[@FayeWelch-hp4jv]

Hope the jags get Franklin

[@XxDayDay12xX]

@@Mokuteke I’m hoping we’re able to redshirt him but I don’t think so, it sucks he left for UCLA. He could’ve been year 2 in Oregon’s system and ahead of the game while retaining his freshman year of eligibility. But he had to test himself as a starter so I understand, he learned what he needed to and got valuable experience. Oregon fans are excited for his future for sure. We think he’ll be a Heisman favorite in a year or two.

[@Mokuteke]

@@XxDayDay12xX he’ll have no problem picking up a system. Our system at king was very advanced we had around 200 different plays each season that we could run and a lot of them were put in by either Dante or us wr sending our OC stuff to run. We had nfl plays and college plays in our playbook. Which is why Dante looks way more polished when it comes to going through progressions than other young QBs and I’ll tell you now the only reason he ever decommited from Oregon was because Coach Dilly left which was the main guy that made him pick Oregon
