Been saying since before Odunze even came into the picture that I didn’t see the ‘generational talent’ with him and thought the drop off to the #2 WR in the class wouldn’t be as big as people were saying.
The reality is that there’s just 3 elite WR prospects in this class, so it’s more that he’s ended up with other guys behind him that would easily be #1 in other classes. But you can’t be generational if you aren’t viewed as clearly superior to another guy in your own class.
Sadly the Bears won’t be able to get any of them. Eat at Arby’s.

a few notes:
-cw suffered from a really poor interior o-line this year. he was constantly under pressure and did develop some bad habits. -that said, he still came away thinking he was freakishly talented and a natural-thrower of the football. -saw a number of cases when the pocket was clean when he was easily working through his progressions and making the right throw to the third guy. -has no questions about the talent. -he's heard nothing that gives him pause about cw as a guy. all he's heard is positive. good worker, good teammate, likes football, etc. this is from teams that have been in to talk to the usc staff so far. -he hasn't heard any of the stuff he heard about kyler pre-draft (regarding preparation, focus on football, etc.) -has harrison and odunze graded the same and doesn't see a difference between the two. has nabers as third. -doesn't think there is a first-round center in the draft. maybe not a great year for that position. -teams are split on jj mccarthy and not hearing a lot of conviction that he'll be a first-rounder. says he has a good arm but isn't asked to do a ton. he can drive the ball, but accuracy down the field is a question. he likes his overall football traits.

Kiper says he wouldn't be surprised to see the Bears to get a first for Fields. That would be amazing.
