Mel Kiper just released his top 25 players.

Daniels was 4
Nabors was 6
Brian Thomas was 11


Thomas doesn’t fall past the Bengals at 18. Higgins and Boyd are free agents. Would be cool to see Burrow, Chase and Thomas tearing shite up.

BTJ is the complete package. The catching, route running and YAK are obvious but what makes him really valuable is his blocking ability as a WR. He is a very good blocking WR.

The more scouts evaluate Harrison the more they realize there's not that much separation between him and BTJ...if any.

Harrison is a good WR. It's silly to argue otherwise. But watch tape of him and Thomas and you quickly realize there is very little difference except Brian Thomas, Sr isn't in the NFL HOF

I hate this but for selfish reasons. I want him to fall to us.

Thomas was one of the most talented but least talked about Tiger receivers of the past 20 years.

The Bengals aren't taking a WR in the 1st.

I think Brian Thomas Jr is a really good prospect, but I don't know if we can conclude anything on his route running at this point.

Buddy, you realize Tee Higgins is likely moving on?

Yeah, I would argue route running is his biggest weakness.

No teams need 2 WR1s. If Bengals think they do then, they’ll pay Tee and draft an O-Lineman in the first.

Bengals still need O-Linemen BAD. It would be a reasonable argument that they should have drafted Penei Sewell instead of Jamarr.

It FEELS like Brian Thomas should have cross paths with Burrow for some reason but BT didn't join LSU until after Burrow was gone for two years. 2019 still feels recent

I think CEH is a free agent after this season also. Maybe the Bengals could scoop him up..

No teams need to play for the Super Bowl either. Tee Higgins is going to be expensive, especially with Ja'Marr Chase due for a deal soon. That leaves an opening at receiver, which could be filled by Brian Thomas Jr.

And he might move up even more once the powers that be see him at LSU pro day/NFL combine bc he’s a freak athletically.
