Not that it got leaked, but they fact that this coaching and scouting staff had Jaylen Waddle with the same score as Trevor Lawrence? Are you kidding me? Waddle was not even close to being the top WR in this draft class, much less the #2 overall player. Even people who don't follow football knew that Ja'Marr Chase was the best WR in this draft by quite a bit. There would then probably be a 50/50 split between people who would prefer DeVonta Smith or Jaylen Waddle, so how did we have Waddle ranked so high? Thank God we had the #1 overall pick or else we might've screwed this entire draft up. To all the people committed to selecting the BAP, imagine if we had the #2 overall pick and we took Waddle? How would that have gone down? We would've had an elite WR unit and no QB to throw to them.

It's possible they could have had Chase graded 8 also, but it's not that big of a deal. I wish teams would show their draft boards after it's over. 

Plenty of people had Waddle as their #1 WR in this class, just like Chase. Waddle was on his way to having the best season ever for a college WR before his injury. His elite speed is going to cause major issues in the NFL, just like it did in college. Every team is looking for that Tyreek Hill type and Waddle could be a bigger and better version.

And that's not a slight to Chase. He's great as well and there's a reason why hes considered #1 in the class by many as well. Different skillsets. They're both elite prospects.

Rumor has it this FO had Fields as their #2 QB instead of Wilson. They had a 7 grade on Wilson. They likely still would have went QB even if Chase/Waddle were there, if we didn't have the #1 pick. As you said, what good is the WR if you don't have the QB.
