Episode notes
Braswell Is A Top100 Wildcard From Vols Offense
- Chris Braswell (Tennessee) ran a 4.37 at ~6'4" and looks like a top-100 pick but comes from an offense that inflates sideline snaps and requires development.
- Comparisons include DJ Chark; flashes vs Georgia impressed but projection is a wildcard.
Tiny Fast Receivers Can Still Be Outside Threats
- Smaller receivers like Brennan Thompson (5'9" ~164) ran fast and produced as outside targets, proving role projections can differ from college size.
- Josh highlights Thompson earned production vs press man coverages, making him more than a gadget slot archetype.
Bernard Is A Reliable Dig Route Specialist
- Germie (Jeremy) Bernard is a steady route-runner from Alabama who profiles as a reliable in-breaking/dig specialist with low drop rate.
- Three-cone (87th percentile) and 2.9% career drop rate make him a likely 33–63 pick.
