You have valid observations - The biggest point being it is rare that a WR is taken in the Top 5 picks (2017 had a few in the Top 10 - 5th-Corey Davis/7th-Mike Williams/10th-John Ross) We know how these picks are working out LOL. 2015 - Amari Cooper at 4th, not bad. 2014 - 4th-Sammy Watkins/7th-Mike Evans/12th-OBJ - Not bad. 2012 - 5th Justin Blackmon LMAO. Best early draft picks in recent memory - 2011 - 4th AJ Green and 6th Julio Jones. I have a feeling Chase will be an impact player like these two in 2011.

Regardless he will be the first WR taken in the 2021 draft and is one of the best WR prospects seen in a long time. A lot of it depends on what teams are picking in the Top 5 and what their needs are; or are they a team that takes best available.

I will leave you with this - When is the last time a WR went up against a group like this in one season and torched them all:

- C.J. Henderson - 2020 9th overall pick
- A.J. Terrell - 2020 16th overall pick
- Noah Igbinoghene - 2020 30th overall pick (I'm cannot remember how much Noah covered Chase in this game and Chase went for 8 - 123 - 0 TDs. Not quite the stats he put on C.J. and A.J. but still good)
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
- Trevon Diggs - 2020 51st overall pick (I will never forget that first touchdown Chase scored - It was the moment I realized LSU was going to put it on Bama)

Side Note: Cameron Dantzler had a decent game against Chase - 5 - 48 - 1 TD. One game though.

For these reasons I'd take him in the Top 10, regardless of positional need. He is once in a decade type prospect at WR.
