Episode notes
Don't Overdraft Chris Bell While He Rehabs
- Avoid overvaluing Chris Bell near day one because his ACL tear and projectable skill-set make him a risky, developmental player.
- Renner sees Bell as more DK Metcalf linear power than AJ Brown and likely a later-round project.
Jeremy Bernard Is A High Floor Chain Mover
- Jeremy Bernard is a B-tier high-floor receiver with polished route-running, strong catch-competition, and 4.46 speed at 206 pounds.
- Renner's comp is Robert Woods and projects Bernard as a day-two steal, especially as a slot/chain mover.
Chris Brazel Is Raw Upside With Character Flags
- Chris Brazel is the most physically gifted Tennessee receiver Renner has seen, but he lacked polish and showed character/effort concerns.
- Renner views Brazel as a late day-two talent with big upside if he commits to refinement.
