2026 Team Visits Draft Projection

Man I just don't see it. Kid can't (didn't) run routes. Smith is a smooth route runner. He doesn't come off as a Kyle WR at all. I would be fine with him in the 4th as that X guy who can just run posts/big body RZ guy…but there's other guys like that later in the draft all the same. I'm just not getting the hype as a legit WR.

I updated the front page but it looks like they have met with two Day 2/Day 3 RBs (Washington, Taylor) so I would not call that heavy interest.

I've read from multiple sources they are very interested in Washington in particular.

i disagree a lot with that. I think he moves extremely well for his size and is super fluid its pretty rare tbh. Tenn offense doesnt really run a full route tree but you can see it with him especially with his footwork and how smooth he is

more WR visits

I can't get there at 58, 3-4 rd is more where he should be going


I think we're trying to hide our interest in KC Concepcion, so we're making it look like we're casting a wide net at WR and anyone can be in play. If KC is gone, we'll probably wait until the 2nd or 3rd to address WR... unless we really love a guy like Denzel Boston. I could see how that big WR combo could interest Kyle, so drafting Boston wouldn't shock me if KC is gone. I just can't see Boston being higher on Kyle's board than KC if both are available. KC was made to play for Kyle lol

Agree, I think he will go well before pick 58, possibly end of 1st round.

I've seen a post & hitch route. He doesn't look fluid at all imo. He's a long strider and more linear than twitchy. I would said Hurst at that same size is way more fluid. I think both play soft for their size. Not seeing and real YAC ability and blocking is ?? Plus some off field stuff. I'm just not down with these Tennessee WR unless it's on day 3.

When I watch him I see MVS. Sacrificial XWR to run clear out routes, maybe catch a deep ball every once in a while, RZ guy. There's dudes like that you can get on the roster in the 4th.

Good I hope someone else takes him for that value lol.

i mean he wont be ready day 1. i think the biggest problem with him is his playing strength also i agree he needs to be coached a bit more on the entire route tree. I mean he does have unreal speed for his height and i had to look it up but his 10 yard split is something you would expect for a guy that is almost half a foot shorter. so he was fluid in his combine drills as well. But im most impressed with his footwork



i agree with you on MVS as his floor for sure but his upside is Drake London imo. I dont think he is year 1 ready to be a starter outside being a vertical/RZ threat which is why i am not exactly calmoring for him to be a first round pick or anything but he has the upside to be the best WR in this class ( it is a weak class and not saying he will reach this)

There is nothing "rare" about that route running above imo. I don't see anything special with his feet either. I get he's not gonna be super fluid. He's a tight hipped linear guy. He lined up on the right side exclusively. Not seeing the toughness as a blocker or playing in the middle of the field trying to get YAC.

Boston has a better chance at being London imo. He can play inside and outside. He's tough, great hands and big all the same.

If we want a tall skinny X who just runs fast in a straight line go take Douglas in the late 4th. We will agree to disagree on him. All I see is MVS 2.0
I actually do find Brazzell's traits to be pretty rare.

I do not think hes an X. I think hes a Z who will excell on vertical routes. His speed profile at his height rare, but where he is special is in his ability to decel and his hip sink. Players his size shouldnt be able to stop on a dime, drop their hips, and change direction.

Id expect him to to develop into a player who really specializes in digs, outs, ins, comebacks, double moves, 9s, blazeouts, whip routes, etc.

Where i worry is hes lanky as hell, Tennessee schemes open a lot of deep shots, so we dont have anything to tell us he can lineup on the line of scrimmage and beat press. I also worry whenever a player only lines up on one side of the field, and his ability to hold up over the middle.

Solid late day 2 prospect to me, but I can see a team taking a shot as early as late round 2.

I can't take him in the first 2 rds. I mean Caleb Douglas is 6-3 1/2 ran a 4.38 and has almost 10lbs on him. Hurst is 6-4 206 and ran a 4.42.

Dont'e Thornton Jr out of Tennessee is 6-5 205 and ran a 4.3. I get the size/speed profile, I feel like there's always a couple dudes like this in every draft and fhat profile rarely hits.
Probably my least favorite OT prospect projected to go RD1

Yea, no thanks. If were redshirting an OT and using an early pick to do it, its gonna be Iheanachor

Hopefully it's because they want to conceal interest in Jadarian Price as id rather have him
