2024 WR Class Deep Dive with Dane Brugler 

4:25 MHJr 17:16 Malik Nabers 24:34 Rome Odunze 34:18 Brock Bowers 47:27 Brian Thomas Jr.

The Beast is the single greatest piece of draft information around. I still reference past years to read about players who boomed and busted.

Odunze a dawg. He’s just built like that. I’d file his name under the category: “Least Likely to Ever Become a Diva”

How did you guys talk 1.5:hours and not utter one word about Ricky Pearsall?

Elite content 🔥💯

Just discovered Robert Mays. Not a bad pod to start with🎉. Thank you Robert.

1:07:23 Rashee rice running away from dudes on and off the field 💀💀

"You'll never see him juke a guy"; "can he power through an NFL jam consistently?"; "blocking is not his favorite thing to do" yet he's this perfect prospect. Not buying it. He's a great prospect but Nabers and Odunze are right there with him and if their names were Isaac Bruce Jr. and Tim Brown Jr.; they would probably be getting equal hype. I'm not saying that it's all about his name. Jerry Rice's son is clear evidence of that in this very draft but the hype head start that Harrison received led to him being anointed "generational" and the best receiver in the draft prematurely.

With respect to Worthy and the relative paucity of big, down the field plays, Quinn is missing on a LOT of those throws. That’s absolutely a significant part of it. With respect to Franklin, we’re definitely seeing two different guys. The hands were incredibly inconsistent in the games I watched and he fought the ball over and over and over again. I also thought some of the tracking stuff was incredibly inconsistent and that Worthy outshines him clearly in that department. Worthy settles under it like a center fielder whereas Franklin is making these wild last nano-second adjustments as he realizes the ball is on a slightly different trajectory than he thought. So we couldn’t be more opposite on Franklin and Worthy other than the fact that they both have “mid” hands. Franlklin also does give better effort in the run game (watch the end of the Georgia game where they’re down by like 40 and he’s pissed off and scrapping like a hungry dog). But the ball tracking, it’s Worthy by a mile. I have Franklin as a late 3rd-early 4th and Worthy as a high-mid 2nd.

Dane’s soliloquy on Jermaine Burton is 100% on the mark. It’s almost exactly what I wrote down. He’s such a smooth, fluid mover, and has such natural hands and natural feel for the position and getting open, but something is off there on the football character side of things. There’s no way a guy that moves like that and is as natural as he is should be so up and down.

Ive seen Worthy trying to truck over dudes at 170 lbs meanwhile AD Mitchell goes down on 1st contact every play lol. And if the dude had 60+ catches and only 18% went for 20+ that tells me hes not just some one trick pony who runs vertical routes all game long.

Dane = THE BEAST

Really hoping MHJ goes to the Cardinals or Chargers... Hoping the Pats don't end up with him. He'd be much more fun with a real QB

Officially requesting a 5 min clip breaking down long snappers with Dane

Xavier Legette on the Lions to complement Ra', Jamo, Laporta, & Gibbs would be 🔥

So MHJ is a possession wr? Can we explain the two Notre dame games?

hellyeah, the best ball knowers on youtube talking about the best new ball catchers 🤓

Kinda wish Worthy never ran that 40. People have, by and large, been extra negative on him since (and I recognize he isn't the most sure handed WR at all).

Did they talk about adonai Mitchell?

Xavier Legette's backstory should be taken into account when doi g his eval imo. Dude has overcome a lot. He won't slip past the 2nd Rd 💯

Another FSU WR but he played QB Aquan Bolden and ran like 4.8..

If Odunze falls to the Giants at 6 It'll be exactly what that offense needs and he keeps getting better and better!

"Running away from people on and off the field" lol 💀

Harrison fans always have to use 2 years of stats to get him close to Nabors. They can't face that Nabors blew by him in year three.

Why do people bring up speed as a negative for Worthy? There is a very small sample size for receivers as fast as worthy so of course there aren't many good ones most players drafted aren't good.

I hope he’s all-world like EVERYONE says when he gets to the league. Cuz if he’s not the best in this class it’ll be hilarious.

What would it take for Buffalo to move up for top 4 WR and would it be wise ?

Actually ur wrong about Keon Coleman he actually did run track

Who’s that kid with a mustache ???

No one wants to see Herbert with weapons lmao how is Bowers not a fit for the Chargers with Roman and Harbaugh. “They need so much more” but he’s a fit for the Broncos who don’t have a QB or anything else? You guys are ridiculous. You don’t think Herbert would feast with Bowers?

Just fyi, everyone watching this video not only knows about The Beast, but is actively awaiting its arrival. Don’t need u to sell us on it lol

1967 players 🤣 God bless you Dane

MHJ is a Ceedee Lamb type. Don’t pay attention to the dude we always comp dudes by size and height and whatever. His playstyle is Ceedee Lamb all the way thin about it.

Jeremiah Smith gonna have people like MHJ who??? lol

MHJ bench presses 380. I don’t think you have to worry about physicality with him. Watch his hands too, in press at the LOS he has elite hand fighting. His ability to combat press is an advantage, not a concern

Worthy was used more as a yac guy in 2023.

Franklin had a significantly higher drop rate than worthy. He's skinny lile worthy but not nearly as fast idk why you'd have him over worthy

Ewers was the problem at Texas not his weapons

Thank god Dane is back. Dear Dane, you work 11 months of the year to get ready for April. You cant be disappearing for a month. You've got Mel and Rick Spielman doing three shows a week. Get it together. Thanks!

it's just painful gonna be watching MHJ become a perennial all pro. i hate being a Bears fan

You don’t see football players described with this word often but the adjective that comes to mind for MHJ (and Adonai Mitchell): lithe. “Thin, supple, graceful.” That’s usually a word you’d reserve for a dancer but, honestly, that’s kind of what he looks like on a football field.

The damn password still does not work three days after it was supposedly posted. When will this crap end?

Jalynn Polk is Mohammed Sanu

I dont understand why people aren’t talking about Brock Bowers and the Bears…Waldron uses 2 and 3 TE sets, very often…Kmet is a Y, Everett is the move on a 2y contract and the bears need a big body receiver…if the 3 receivers are off the board at 9, i think bowers is very much in play for that offense and ppl are sleeping on it.

Yall really gonna shade X Legete for being a one hit wonder, WITHOUT acknowledging the shit he went through to get where he is today?!? Sorry but you guys get paid to do this you should know these things.

it's always funny to me how BOTH Texas guys get questioned for being underwhelming like it's not a coincidence.. their coaching, scheme, and QB were so poor. AD is a future WR1, you can't teach what he does and his insanely high 16y ADOT leads to low YAC when you're not getting fed cheap production/screens (only 4 screens) like Odunze (18) and Nabers (14)

These TV scouts are all just talking heads. These are a bunch of guys that don't have to make any decisions, never have their misses checked, and either have groupthink or just try to change it up to drive clicks. Anyone that listens to these dudes for actual assessment need to have their heads examined.

"Oh, those poor Bears & their inability to get an élite receiver in this draft..." Hey, *you called for* Fields to not pass to certain receivers on certain plays. Anyone could see that this led directly to failure for the entire team. Anyone but you? So either you're All Inept or you all intentionally sabotaged Fields so you could move on from him. Which one doesn't make not getting one of these your fault? You kept calling for this for Over A Year.
