NFL Draft 2022: Chris Simms' top 5 wide receivers | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NBC Sports 

This guy is the real heir to John Madden. He breaks complex systems and ideas into easily understandable bites. And the cursing is refreshing. Good job Chris!

Simms really going for it with his top 5 this year

Respect Chris’s insight on the draft. Doesn’t just go with what everyone else says.

Simms list with draft results. ( ) = receiver taken. 5. Drake London USC picked 8 (1) to ATL 4. Treylon Burks Arkansas picked 18 (6) to TN 3. Alec Pierce Cincy picked 53 (11) to Indy 2. Christian Watson NDSU picked 34 (7) to GB 1. Jameson Williams Alabama picked 12 (4) to Det.

The objectivity on guys you like is appreciated. It nice to pick the brain of an actual qb, right or wrong your opinion is worth listening to…

Good job Chris!! It’s your list, we don’t have to agree but we want to be entertained and and educated.

It’s criminal not having Garrett Wilson. But I agree with London and burks. Big guys that can’t separate, not in love

Man , I love Christian Watson . I think he's going to be a beast . He's being slept on immensely , because of I guess , his level of competition . But at the Senior Bowl he proved he can play against top level competition . He might end up the best receiver out this class at the level . There's nothing this guy can't do , he might be the most complete receiver in this draft.

I love this top 5. I’m a Jets fan, just got off the phone with my Dad and was telling him that I don’t want to draft a wide receiver at 10. Wilson/London/Burks just don’t excite me. I’ve watched their highlights multiple times to try and feel differently but I just couldn’t see it. This reassures my feelings

As a Jets fan, I’m back on the Jameson Williams bandwagon. Been thinking of it the last few weeks… and he’s gotta be the guy

He doesn't get all of them right, but I can tell he does his hw and that's all I can ask for

I totally agree with you Chris! Way to be bold!

1. Nkeal Harry was the king of the 50/50 balls in Pac 12 once upon a time. If you can't get open vs them trash corners over there and got to rely on the 50/50- you going to get eaten in the NFL. Not much power either. Not enough YACs. Drake London got huge bust potential. No way I would pick him in the top 5 WRs or in the 1st round. Jj Arcega Whiteside comes to mind. He ain't an X. He is a slow tall slot. 2. I am not as high on Olave as everybody else is. Maybe he is a 1st round pick but not convincingly to me. No real sudden. Not much of a vertical explosive threat. No physicality to his game whatsoever. 0. No competitive toughness at all and IT SHOWS ON TAPE.. Not really a YAC guy. Good smooth, smart route runner with solid hands but a bit of a body catcher. Will drop some and n make extended catches. Won't make tough catches over the middle where it can get dark. Underwhelming contested cacthes. I see a softer Kenny Stills with better route running skills. He is not a no.1. He is not a dawg. He is a compliment. Not his own man. Not a thoroughbread 1. I don't think he has much bust potential but I think his celing is a bit low. If you drafting him to be your #1 I think you will be disapointed. 3. Very high on all Simms top 4. Very high on Garett Wilson, Jahan Dotson, Metchie and Pickens as well. Maybe not as high as he is in Christian Watson but still high Btw I think Chris is selling Garrett Wilsons physicality, speed, hands and route running a bit short. He was way more impressive than Olave on tape.

Love ❤️ Chris simms unbuttoned U my Dawg. Will be looking for the kid Chris Watson

Watched highlights of all the top receivers and Christian Watson definitely stood out to me, would love him in KC

North Dakota State is a FBS school masquerading as a FCS school. They are top notch.

The best breakdown on the internet...

A+ breakdown

Chris Simms : pop💥 pop💥 pop💥 😂😂😂

Christian Watson is Randy Moss reincarnated in pads!!!! Also, I really wish the Atlanta Falcons hired Simms as their GM!!

Nice to hear a real analyst

this draft is DEEP

Alec Pierce's athletic testing was comparable to DK Metcalf. Dude is an absolute freak.

nicely done Chris

My Top 5: Garrett Wilson Chris Olave Jameson Williams Traylon Burks Christian Watson

Just YESSSSSSS….I’ve been saying it to all the bills groups Alec pierce is the sleeper wr no one’s talking about. His speed,feet, hands and size he will be a great receiver in the NFL. Big baller beane knows though.

Every year a few 2nd round WR’s out perform the 1st rounders so this makes sense

I agree 100% with Alec Pierce. Great pick.

Not having Garrett Wilson in here 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm on the hill with you, Chris! Watson and Pearce are in my top 3! Hoping the Colts can snag one!!

Good talk Chris

His 2 and 3 Wrs are 100% spot on. Might even put them 1 and 2 and bump everyone else

It's funny, because you actually go back and listen to Chris' prospect evaluation of Deebo Samuel, he actually comps him to Jarvis Landry as well. Just like he did with Treylon Burks. Treylon Burks still no. 1 in the class for me, with Jameson Williams as the only other WR in Tier 1.

I’m positive Aaron Rodgers is happy with Christian Watson’s pick.

Chris sims is an awesome evaluator

I always thought London reminds me of a taller Michael Crabtree

Chris Simms is a size queen

I was waiting for Dyami Brown to do something last year he had him at 3 or 2

Pierce baby!

I currently have Garrett Wilson ranked as the second best player in the draft but hey to each their own.

Throwing in some highlights during analysis would be good …

Wouldn’t mind watson at the 49ers to play with lance.

This aged well 🤣😂🤣😂

Did simms really say London doesn’t get yac yards?!! That’s like one of his biggest strengths 😐😂😂

No YAC with London?! What are you even talking about? I didn’t watch many games but he looked pretty good at it to me, in the ones I watched.

Alec Pierce the goat I would take him in the second round even if I was 4 deep at receiver

So what you're saying is Drake London is not N'Keal Harry 2.0? Are you sure 🙈

1. Christian Watson 2. Garett Wilson 3. Jameson Willams 4.Alec Pierce 5.Chris Olave

5. Drake London 4. Treylon burks 3. Alec pierce 2. Christian Watson 1. Jameson Williams

I like to equate nfl player analysis to stock picking. Experts in general are going to know more than the public but experts seldom agree, and you really only hope to be right about 60% of the time. Chris is an expert but odds are he probably just highlighted two players who aren't going to be worth the pick.

Alec Pierce was competing against the best and still looks great he will definately be a top 3 WR in this rookie class

How do you not put Garrett Wilson on here? Lol

No Garrett Wilson or Chris Olave? This might be the most controversial Chris Simms WR ranking so far.

I really want the Chiefs to draft one of the elite recievers, trade up if needed

Welcome the Colts, Pierce

Alec Pierce was in the low 4.3s he ran a 4.33

Dammit the Bucs have been meeting with Christian watson a few times the last month and now that Chris ranked him #2 he's not going to make it to 27. I thought the Bucs were about to get a steal in the draft

Did he not see the play where Drake London broke like 25 tackles and scored

Drake London has yards after catch ability…

Was hoping for Jameson Williams at 20. This guy fina mess my chances up :(

He said Drake London doesn’t have any YAC and breaks no tackles.. I scratched my head because that’s all Drake London did was get yards after the catch and broke tackles.. you can tell he didn’t watch his entire tape.. he probably only selected a few games to watch.

Ritter looks like Cade McNown throwing to Marcus Robinson…

The best in the business......Should be a GM....

Moss 50/50 baller

Herbert to Williams (Jameson)

Decent, but how did he omit wilson and olave?

I hope Chris Ballard is watching this video

To the Bengals I hope!!!

Chris just can’t shut up, he just motors on and on and on…. Hahahaha

I am simultaneously pleased and pissed at Chris - Alec Pierce is my guy this draft Pleased to be validated by Chris, but pissed that he is killing his chances of being a sleeper for my team

simms really just challenged us to find tape where london breaks tackles. simms clearly didnt watch any tape on this kid.

@chrissimms With such a deep class WRs how about 10 instead of

Only thing simms missed was g Wilson. G Wilson is a superstar

1. Jameson 2. Wilson 3. Watson 4. Pierce 5. Olave Non seperators who aren't great route runners can't excel in the nfl. Also see Laquon Treadwell.

Simms does know Williams left osu because he wasn’t higher the the depth chart as Olave and Wilson 😂

Who wants to throw 50/50 balls?? That's usually out of desperation and by definition your guy is going to win at best 50% of the time. Unless you're Randy Moss or Nuke I'm not drafting a guy based on his 50/50 ability. Separation and route running are what win in the NFL. New England has proven that 😳

Both Ohio state guys are not busting out

London and Burks are questionable to be Drake cause he's a USC receiver who doesn't get much separation sounds like another JuJu or Mike Williams and Burks because of basically his 40 time

Packers fans watching this .....

Says Pierce ran a 4.33. That being said, KC need to draft him

Route running in the NFL is about leverage and QB play 🤷🏾‍♂️

I've been hoping Alec Pierce falls to round 3.

Pierce ran a 4.33 i thought??

47 minutes to name the top 5 WR's...? It should take 2 minutes.

Julio Jones was similar coming out of college with a slight drop problem just because his mind and body moved so quick and twitchy. It’s the only reason he wasn’t the #1 receiver taken in 2011 and I still think it’s one of the dumbest moves ever.

Boy was he wrong 😂

If you view this list in reverse order. It almost barely makes sense

We talking Moss speed? On Watson.

LONDON DOESN’T BREAK TACKLES ?!!!! WHAT!!

Burks!

Chiefs. Hold your Picks. Don't trade Up. Combo together rounds 2-4 picks: [Tall]Pickens, Pierce, Watson, Ross, Tolbert.. w/[Small Gadget/Possession] AustinIII, Robinson, Bell, Doubs

1Williams 2Wilson 3metchie 4Burks 5olave

Here’s the list: 1) Jameson Williams 2) Christian Watson 3) Alec Pierce 4) Treylon Burks 5) Drake London

Olave is going to be great.

Jackson Kruger

Chris simms shit the bed on this one 😂

Your going to eat your words about Traylon Burks

James Houston JSU HBCU under Coach Prime Time

I'm hoping BILLS 🦬 !! Can grab Watson at 25 or trade down and get 3 picks in round 2 . . And maybe grab him there. This WR class is deeeep and I think that pushes him down. Lot of front offices on the hot seat and they can't miss. This pushes Watson down to bills, chiefs, titans . . Maybe Packers . . He feels like a Day 2 prospect - will be 8-10 games before he's really contributing and MVS drops and inconsistency will scare some teams off. 😳 Sheeeeyit
