Chase vs Beckham/Landry as Prospects

He’s first round easy

A 50/50 ball in single coverage to Chase is pretty much a 70/30 ball

He’s not as fast as Beckham, not as sure handed as Landry, I think he’s bigger than both and will probably be a first rounder. He reminds me of deandre Hopkins in college. I hope he turns into pro Hopkins next year because he’s already almost unstoppable.

Chase has the same body control in the air as both Laundry and OBJ but I wouldn't put him at that level quite yet. The thing that made OBJ and Landry great in college is that those two worked at their craft and fired each other up. Chase has Jefferson and Marshall so let's see what happens the rest of the season. Chase has all the skills and talent so let's see him keep getting better and better.

I’m not saying he’s a butterfinger guy, but he’s had a few (like less than 5) drops/balls he could or should have caught.

I’m not saying he’s not sure handed either. Just that Landry had the best hands I’ve ever seen, especially on contested balls

His best comp to me is Deandre Hopkins

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks this.

Odell has several of drops when he played here

Great player and easily first round imo but I don't know the difference in targets. That would be an interesting stat to look at because there's no way he has more drops than OBJ.


EDIT:

So after comparing stats, here's Jarvis Landry and OBJ's career stats at LSU vs Chase's

Landry: 137 rec, 1809 yards, 15TDs
OBJ: 143 rec, 2340 yards, 12 TDs
Chase: 66 rec, 1062 yards, 12 TDs

Obviously, Chase has another year before he can leave so I did the math on what his stats would be if his receptions were equal to the other two:

Projected stats with 137 receptions, 2204 yards and 25 TDs
Projected stats with 143 receptions, 2301 yards and 26 TDs

So in terms of yardage, he's about on par with OBJ, but out-gaining Landry. In terms of TDs he's throttling both of them

This is true, but to me they catch the ball differently. Chase can take the top off the defense, Landry was a monster in traffic up the middle, or when we needed to get to the sticks.
