Steve Smith Sr. has always been one of my favorite receivers and I respect his analysis of any receiver, whether they are in college or in the NFL. Smith had the heart of a lion and seeing someone with his talent breaking down other receivers is getting expert advice from an expert. I like Troy Franklin and think he will do more than just be a speed guy on the Broncos. Franklin's familiarity with Bo Nix may be a big asset for both of them, especially early on. I'm looking forward to watching both Troy Franklin and Bo Nix playing together in the NFL. Go Broncos!!!!
Steve has no problem telling it like he sees it. He was undersized and speedy but he had to develop his game to be as good as he was. That's what makes his analysis valuable plus his no bs attitude
The fact the league really let him fall to pick 102 to the broncos with nix is crazzzzy to me. I had a late 1st to 2nd round grade on him and for him to fall in the 4th is amazing for Denver.
@@Jaybrown223 how is he much more his routes are average and his route tree is limited. Being able to do one thin gr really well isn’t a bad thing people saying he’s a deep threat aren’t say he’s a bad player their only saying that’s the role that his skill sets projects to be
@@thatfantasynetwork132 it’s definitely not top heavy this might be the deepest wr class of all time. I can count 6 guys who can be number 1 options on playoff teams. And other guys who will contribute majorly right away
@@Mokuteke “it’s definitely not top heavy..” then goes on to say it 6 #1s lol wouldn’t that be too heavy? Anyways there’s only 3 stud WRs! The most of the others you probably like are fake-alphas…like Brian Thomas, AD Mitchell. And Keon Coleman. But I don’t want to waste my words arguing over the unseen, so check back on a year or two…Worthy, Franklin, and McConkey should be fine though.
Don’t let no “gauntlet drill” fool u.. he should’ve trained better to execute it but he’s a much better WR than he looked in the drills.. he’s good in real football
"... and his weekness... is speed" I know I'm listening to someone who knows what they're talking about when they see the nuance in this. Both you and @Thinking Football brought this point up and it can 100% be a challenge to overcome (i.e. requiring too many steps to cut or fake a corner and not being able to stop on a dime consistently).

He’s this year s Jalin Hyatt …. As a giants fan ….. I think he ll be similar as a rookie…. Maybe not volume but if he averages 17 a catch it won’t surprise me
I wanted the Patriots to draft him so bad. He was still on the board in the late rounds. His field speed seems faster than his 40 time. I think in the right system he’ll be good for 1000 yards seasons. They linked him up with Bo Nix his college teammate.

He isnt as fast as i thought he was..that was like his main thing...SPEED. Maybe his in-game speed is the difference maker. I still want him on the chiefs if possible.
These "analysts" talk about what somebody needs to "work on," but the issue is team fit. Will a team use him in the way that got him to the NFL to start? These guys are always compared to unicorns. Franklin had 81 receptions, 1383 yards, and 14 TDs last year. Oregon maximized what he did well. That is what you do with every player. He might be in the perfect position in Denver with Bo Nix. What was Randy Moss' "accessory"? He was blazing fast and athletic. It got him to the Hall of Fame. He "struggled" to get off the line and with his route running according to Mel Kiper Jr when he got drafted. Who cares? Just throw the ball up.
i fw 89 heavy cause im a duck fan but i felt like troy was overrated .. i couldn’t tell what it was but he wasn’t it imo .. 89 hit it right ona nail tho
Troy Franklin is one of my favorites. I don’t count MHJ, Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, Bryan Thomas, Jr. because they’re definitely going first round. Xavier Legette, Adonais Mitchell, Keon Coleman, and of course, Troy Franklin are my other favorites.
@@XxDayDay12xX that is something Dante would say. That my hs Qb I’m telling you now he has what it takes to be a nfl hall of famer his mindset is incredible. He would have the Wr stay after every practice we would be out there 1-2 hours after practice already finished
@@Mokuteke I’m hoping we’re able to redshirt him but I don’t think so, it sucks he left for UCLA. He could’ve been year 2 in Oregon’s system and ahead of the game while retaining his freshman year of eligibility. But he had to test himself as a starter so I understand, he learned what he needed to and got valuable experience. Oregon fans are excited for his future for sure. We think he’ll be a Heisman favorite in a year or two.
@@XxDayDay12xX he’ll have no problem picking up a system. Our system at king was very advanced we had around 200 different plays each season that we could run and a lot of them were put in by either Dante or us wr sending our OC stuff to run. We had nfl plays and college plays in our playbook. Which is why Dante looks way more polished when it comes to going through progressions than other young QBs and I’ll tell you now the only reason he ever decommited from Oregon was because Coach Dilly left which was the main guy that made him pick Oregon
@LilCasinoMusic there was nothing really outstanding about Cooper Kupp during his senior year at Eastern Washington. Average measurables, 4.55-4.65 speed. He did run great routes and had excellent hands and YAC production. I can see Pearsall, McCaffery and McConkey all being really good WRs in the NFL.
@@KidsCalledmeMrGlass just cuz u watch film on someone doesn’t mean your opinion of what u see is 100% right and Steve is no exception just cuz he played Lmao
As a Denver fan, if Steve Smith likes him i like him. I find it funny we traded Judy after what steve said about him. I wish him the best in Cleveland but the dude was just a guy. And i totally agree and when Judy did had moments to take the game over it literally slipped through his hands. I'm looking forward to the Bo Nix and Troy Franklin era in Denver with Sean Payton at the helm.
@@ahkeelcarter1791 if college numbers translated to nfl numbers then Jonny football would have been one of the greatest nfl players ever and Tom would have never played a down
@@thatfantasynetwork132 cant catch. Route tree limited to screens and go's. 20th percentile athlete relative to weight. Theres nothing to get excited about. This is the 2024 version of Treylon Burks and Quentin Johnston. But you were probably high on those guys too because you just looked at the box score and not the context. Dont talk to me about talent eval kiddo.
