one take
"Modern offenses want receivers who can move all over the formation, like Emeka Egbuka. . .
As a prospect, Egbuka was actually viewed by many as a slot-only receiver, but he took two-thirds of his snaps on the perimeter in Year 1. The production waned in the second half of the season, as Tampa Bay’s receiving corps returned to health, but Egbuka still finished with the second-most receiving yards (938) and the highest yards-per-catch figure (14.9) in this rookie class, proving he can win in all areas at the NFL level. "
proving he can win in all areas at the NFL level. "
We will chalk up him seeing ghosts as the reason he dropped so many in the second half of the season and ended up with less receiving yards than an inferior WR in Charlotte.
EE should have a fantastic second year with Zach as his OC.
Ohio State is WRU. LSU is a close second.
I’ll take Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Malik Nabors over JSN, Garrett Wilson, and Terry McLauren all day long.
All. Day. Long.
But that would ignore Marvin Harrison Jr, Emeka Egbuka, and Chris Olave.
Brian Thomas is good too tho.
The reason I'm taking OSU is because they have more coming. Tate + Jeremiah Smith is basically megatron type talent.
LSU WRs have largely came from one amazing team but one team nonetheless.
Give me OSU but again it's 1a and 1b

If you have a football team, which three WR’s would you want on the field: Chase, Jefferson, & Nabors or JSN and whatever two other OSU WR’s you want?
You can have the OSU trio. I’d prefer the Tiger boys.
Egbuka should be more like JSN, but so many factors in play, including that GSN really came to life when the Seahawks purged a veteran receiver or two.

Top 3 right now would be JSN, Chase, and Jefferson.
Nabors hasn't done anything and now he's hurt. 1200 yards and 7 TDs is def good for a rookie but BTJ was arguably better and look at his sophomore season.
Nabers is in the MHJ category right now. Still plenty to prove and both can't stay healthy.
But it's more than the top 3... There's just more good OSU WRs. Outside of the three you mentioned there's a steep drop off.
And there's no LSU WRs coming...
OSU just had Egbuka, then Tate, then Smith.
One every damn years. Every year.
Nabers is in the MHJ category right now.
Lol.
Stop looking at box scores and look at the film.
Nabers is an alpha. MHJ isn't.

Lol cmon DH. Alpha? Like I get what you mean because MHJ has the drops and got in his head but cmon... Nabers also had drop issues his rookie year then he got hurt.
I'll give the edge to Nabers but neither of them have done anything. Both have potential. They are in the same boat.
No way you'd put Nabers in your top 5. Maybe top 10 if you want to be generous.

Career numbers:
Harrison: 29 games, 103 receptions, 1,493 yards, & 12 TD’s
Nabers: 19 games, 127 receptions, 1,475 yards, & 9 TD’s
One of these dudes has been a disappointment, while the other one hasn’t.

Sure, I’ll grant you the quantity. But I’m arguing quality within the starting three WR’s on a football team.
Count Steve Smith as a big fan
"Emeka Egbuka brought from Ohio State University is he is a quarterback-friendly route runner. That was who he was; that’s who he is. I’ve talked to several people down there … ” Smith said.
Smith called Egubka a guy who acts like a “savvy vet” and he explained, “meaning he is seen, rarely heard. He goes about his business the right way. He’s early in, late out. He is going through his routes. He walks through his routes.”
“Yes, he’s had some drops, but you also look at some of the catches he’s had, some of the hits he’s taken and held on to the football. So, there is a little bit of give and take and understanding that there is sometimes a reason why, and I don’t really look at his drops as a huge concern for me,” Smith said.
“Just watching his body of work and how he’s doing it as a rookie, I just see so much tremendous upside that, you know, what’s transpired for this season, it’s gone. But I expect for him to keep going and if it he’s averaging 8 or 9 drops every year, then yes. But I just don’t see him having those drops” next season.

He's been slightly better but it's nothing to write home about. Same tier of wr but Nabers is at the upper end of the band while Harrison is the bottom end of it...
Nabers also had nobody competing for targets so huge volume.
Harrison also played through injury so it waters his numbers down a bit but either way as I said Nabers is slightly better.

Well JSN was the best wr in football this year and Jefferson took garbage time to get to 1k.
