Eagles fans won't be happy if Philly passes on Ja'Marr Chase - Louis Riddick | Get Up

some of this will be determined by some of the moves that are yet to take place in free agency involving desean watson and maybe dak prescott and maybe russell wilson we will see meanwhile louis let me come back to you because i can hear all of the non-quarterbacks that i work with every single day screaming at us right now guys it's not just the quarterbacks so as we look at the rest of this mock draft lewis riddick aside from the qb's what's the number one thing that stands out to you yeah i think it's the philly selection there at six i can just tell you this if phillies comes up and jamar chases on the board and they don't pick jamar chase and they go with kyle pitts and i like kyle pitts i love jamar chase there will be riots in the streets of philadelphia they will burn down the city of brotherly love and they will march on the nova care complex i promise you i think recency bias is something that we all need to be very careful about and that in this sense look we haven't seen jamar since 2019 when he absolutely ripped the sec and he ripped every single top corner in that division without any problem at all this guy's a monster and if he's sitting there at six and he's just waiting for you to pick him and you have your choice between him and devonta smith i think he better take one of them look i'm telling you look i like kyle pitts he's not darren waller he's not george kittle he's a good weapon but he's not of that category and i think it would just be a huge mistake if philadelphia passed on him if he was sitting there waiting for him a reminder jamar chase was the best receiver at lsu two years ago sat out last year because of covid justin jefferson came into the league this past year and put up all world kind of numbers chase was the better player the year before at lsu mike t same question to you aside from the quarterbacks what's your number one takeaway jamar chase he's the best wide receiver in this draft and what's interesting greenie when you talk to people around the league how are the opt-outs going to impact decisions ultimately jamar chase if he had played may have been the best football player he'd be in that discussion with trevor lawrence as you just mentioned he outplayed justin jefferson who was dynamic from minnesota so ultimately is it devonte smith or jamar chase and in the bounds is going to be one guy played in excel and devante smith another one opted out and there's teams around the league that are really struggling on how to handle the opt-outs and to me that's gonna be a fascinating dynamic as we get closer to the draft quickly you were a gm for two different teams mike would it matter to you would the opt out factor into your thinking i would drill down hard i'd figure out i want to know why you did it who helped impact that decision and go through their whole body of work but if everything else checked out i would not hold it against them this was obviously an insidious virus and again jamar chase very well may be the best player in this draft that's not a quarterback and he may be too good of an opportunity to pass up and matt back to you same question aside from the quarterbacks what's your number one takeaway yeah against the running backs two of them coming off the board in the first round with naji harris from alabama travis etienne from clemson i thought we were devaluing running backs in the nfl last year clyde edwards lair goes at 32 out of lsu to kansas city and then this year we see two dynamic players i thought etienne had a little bit of a down year in 2020 naji harris he probably had the heisman vote when we got down to the end of the regular season obviously devante pulled away toward the end of the year but seeing two running backs go in the first round i don't think it's crazy but it would be a little bit of a surprise just given how the nfl values that position and how deep the running back group is this year there's a couple other guys out of north carolina who are making some waves as well thank you for watching espn on youtube for live streaming sports and premium content subscribe to espn plus
