Are WRs Chase and Dovanta considered better than Lamb?

[quickccc]

Depending upon how they test and measure out in their private NFL workouts WRs Ja' Marr Chase of LSU
and Bama's DeVonta Smith are suspected to be among the top overall picks in upcoming 2021 NFL draft.

Some here may have closely followed the WRs coming out of college and into NFL draft.
i'm very elated that we were able to select CeeDee Lamb when he surprisingly slid to our 1st rd spot.

Cowboys per the value of their draft board thought he was such a blue chip prospect that they just could not pass him up. From all indications the Eagle were really trying to trade to get Lamb but failed,.
Remember also they passed over Justin Jefferson to select TCU's Jalen Reagor. (Nelson Agular 2.0..?).

Ironically now the Eagles are in a position to get the top two blue chip prospects in this coming draft class:
WRs Ja' Marr Chase of LSU and Bama's DeVonta Smith … if they select either one, will they have a better prospect, a better playmaker than our very own Ceedee Lamb ??

It close but I would favor both over Lamb. All three are in the same tier below true elite prospects like AJ Green and Julio Jones. We will have gotten much better value for the pick, since I don't see a wide difference in quality

I think Chase and Lamb are pretty comparable, but Smith is harder to judge.

His size is a concern in the NFL, especially since he's not a burner. I'd be curious as to what that means for his ceiling.

Smith sure can ball. He just reminds me of a shorter Todd Pinkston lol. Body wise ... not talent of course

 

[speedkilz88]

I would take Chase over Lamb but not Smith. I think there is plenty of risk in taking 175 pound WRs.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Chase is a little better version of Lamb (more size, probably similar speed, similar unteachable ball skills and tracking on deep passes). On Lamb's end, there was a little risk to his profile based on the terrible defenses he faced in the Big 12 - notice how he hasn't had the same splashy YAC plays in the pros. Chase doesn't have to worry about that. As one commentator noted, AJ Terrell and Trevon Diggs were probably their NFL teams' best CBs this year, and Chase absolutely eliminated both of them.

Smith is just special. 180 lbs or not, the dude just humiliates CBs. Size is the only complaint you can even level against him, and when he is setting new benchmarks for yards of separation against top college defenses, does it even matter?

I'd say both Chase and Smith are blue chippers - future Pro Bowlers with no risks outside of major injury. CeeDee slotted in a little below that for me, I had him behind Ruggs and Jeudy just last year.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I don't think neither are better than Lamb honestly...

Many media insiders have doubts about DeVonta Smith's small frame and they believe he isn't as fast as many believe. Chase is a legitimate stud at the position, think he would be ahead of Lamb if he was able to come out last season. Think Chase is the faster prospect.

 

[Mr_437]

Chase
Lamb
Smith

I think Chase is the clear cut best WR of the group. Justin Jefferson was dominant..the NFL's best rookie WR, and Chase was widely considered better than his Pro Bowl Rookie former teammate.

Smith has crazy acceleration reminds me of DJax except better.

If the Eagles are smart they snag Chase, but damn Howie could've had both Chase n Jefferson.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Smith reminds me of Marvin Harrison. I think Harrison was around 6-0 185 coming out of Syracuse and didn't stick out physically though I think he was faster. I remember Tony Dungy saying about Harrison that "You never hear him coming and you never hear him going". He was an Amari type quiet player that just showed up and produced. Smith appears to have a little more fire to his personality, but he still strikes me as that purely professional player that will still be in the league catching TDs 12 years from now. It doesn't really matter how big or fast you are when you have the vision, route running ability, and understand the nuances of the position like Smith. And, he's only going to get better.

I loved the Lamb pick but yeah I've got both Chase and Smith rated above Lamb and as top 10 players personally.

Wouldn't be surprised of they dont go another route. They have a ton of holes and drafted in the 2nd and 1st the last two years.

Taking one of the WR's would be smart

Probably the best way to answer your question is that the Cowboys got Lamb at 17 while Chase and Smith are probable top 10 picks. We were lucky to get Lamb and if he came out this draft I believe he would be rated right up their with those guys.

I think you have to look at how loaded Alabama and LSU were when Smith and Chase played for them. Both teams were among the greatest teams in the history of College Football. I don’t think CeeDee had any receivers on par with what the SEC receivers had as teammates. The reality is Smith and Chase could go top 5 and they are no where close to the prospects the Megatron, Green, and Julio were. I think they are also below Amari Cooper as well.

 

[America's Cowboy]

CeeDee was on pace to catch for over 1,300 yards if Dak had not gotten injured during Week 5. Yet, still having to play with scrub QBs for most of the season (11.5 games), CeeDee came very close to catching for 1,000 yards. I seriously doubt Chase or Smith would have done better under the same circumstances.

I agree with this.

Little bit of a different style, but talent wise I think Chase and Lamb are comparable talents as prospects.

 

[J-man]

Smith is a guy that may not be nearly as dominate in the pros as he was in college. His size and lack of speed will hinder him at the next level.
Chase is very good. I think he and Lamb are very comparable.
Everyone forgets about Jalen Waddle, mainly I think because he was out and on the same team as Smith. But he is a top tier WR too.

This draft. like last years, is very deep at WR. So much so in fact, that I worry a few teams picking in the top 10 will pass on guys that early because they know they can get a very good player a pick later. That could hurt our draft board targets.

Unfortunately that also means, unless they go O-line, philthydumpia will have a shot at one of the top WR's this year. And that we will have to deal with him for the next decade. Drafting Farley/Surtain (if available) at 10 maybe a must.

 

[morasp]

I think what Lamb did in his rookie season with four different quarterbacks would be pretty hard to top. As his draft profile predicted, he was a dynamic playmaker at all three levels. I can only imagine what he might do in his second season if we can get some stability at QB.

 

[Croomraider]

Smith is ridiculous. He makes his routes look effortless and is always wide open.
It's not that easy playing in the SEC and being completely wide open. Chase is really
really good also. Lamb did the same thing but in the Big 12.

 

[CouchCoach]

You will not get a real assessment until they suit up but the fact you're asking about a Cowboy. you are going to get some homer call in that. He's better cuz he's ours.

Lamb is a good WR but nothing like he was at OU because he's playing better tackling secondary's and it was RAC that put him in the 1st round. He is good, he is not great. He is Hollywood Brown, the WR he replaced at OU. And you watch OU again this season, they will have a new Brown/Lamb in that role, they get the weapons.

Chase hasn't played enough to gauge but when he did, he was as impressive as any college WR I ever saw. He was virtually uncoverable at the college level and he played in a better conference for defense.

Smith is the most interesting WR to come out in years. At his size, can he last in the NFL? Can he make it look as easy as he did in college? Is he the second coming of Marvin Harrison, the other WR to cause viewers to ask "how in the hell is he open"?

With Smith, the size thing gets over emphasized as does the speed because until he got passed, Steve Largent held the WR records.

I think the key is who is going to be throwing to Chase and Smith? Are they going to have to be the WR1 or get the opportunity Lamb did as the #2 and 3? Lamb came into an excellent situation for a rookie WR and was allowed to be the icing until he has to be the cake.

That seems like you're letting your fear of philthydumpia getting their idea player in the draft totally dictate the way you want to draft. Picking a CB for the sake of fear of a Chase or Smith.
What if the Cowboys are infatuated and have the OT Slater or the LB Collins that high on their draft board over Surtain, Farley ? Do they jump pass the much better rated players on the board for the sake of need ?

Let Fhilly alter and direct their draft in fear of us …
i.e. supposedly Filly Fility chose RB bust Donnel Pumphrey because they suspected he was a must-have for Cowboys ?
- Supposedly Filly draft TE Dallas Goebert because they suspected Cowboys coveted him …
- and again Filly suspected that Cowboys would snag Lamb and tried to make a trade with ATL to get ahead of us to pick Lamb. Deal failed through- and thus we ended up with Lamb.
