Yes top 5 group in America…And Sam Brown is part of that too.
I would say all those players have a chance to be mid to late round draft picks…. George would have to test well because of his slight frame. Horton if he stays with a chance to move up. If Restrepo tests well he can maybe move up slightly. Sam Brown should test well.
We really have an excellent group of upperclassmen wide receivers right now.
Agree on all of this
I like Horton a lot, oozing with potential. good find by Diaz and co…
I think if healthy Restrepo and Horton will definitely drafted although obviously I’m betting on the come with Horton because he hasn’t played that much ball.
I think Brown at this point is about 70/30 to get drafted, and George is 50/50 or a little better…Although it’s weird because George is the best big play college WR of them all.
There’s multiple ways at looking at such a question. One could look at a “group” as some responses have put it. Then based as said group where do they stack up against other such groups in college football.
Then there’s the “who among this group can make it at the next level” and “where would they be drafted”.
These are just two ways at looking at the question among many. Personally, as a fan my ego gets rubbed when a UM player is a high draft pick. But UM could finish last in the ACC and have four first round picks. That is not attractive to me.
As a result, there is greater scrutiny on how a roster’s set of receivers perform at their current level and then in a secondary sense compare to other team’s WR groups. The latter is a battlefield of subjective opinion.
So, I feel we are left with the question of does UM have a variety of WRs with different skill sets which can be leveraged in different scenarios. The “hands” guy. The “speed” guy". The “tall” guy". It seems to me that UM currently ticks off most of any such list. Are these fellows themselves superlative? Are they quality system guys? Are they both, one or the other, or neither?
In my opinion the different skill sets UM has is a plus. Given competition to date hard to say whether they are superlative or not. Circle back in 5-6 weeks. I do think that some system stability has helped and that players know their roles better and have a better comfort level. This has and should translate into elevated on the field performance. After that, down the road, it’s probably measurables and a little tape to get to the next level.
