That's my fantasy rank not NFL rank, and it will drop lower as I still have more guys to look at. Players like Atwell have no fantasy upside. Would I draft him for an actual team before Sage Surratt, Nico Collins, Javon McKinley or Branden Mack? Sure, but those guys have a chance to become ballwinners even if bust is the most likely outcome.MeCole Hardman has been more of a WR3 type, was a 2nd Rounder and 5th WR off the board. McKenzie the 24th WR off the board...that seems like a "if things break poorly" for Atwell as a pro...a 200 yard WR, all purpose type contributor. That's a wide range of outcomes, IMO, which is what I said in my post. These types make teams and if they are drafted too late, end up outperforming many drafted ahead of them. Even Isaiah McKenzie has outperformed 10 or more WRs picked ahead of him. Even your boy Scott Miller, 35th WR off the board, has outperformed a ridiculous number of WRs drafted ahead of him.
I don't think he's actually a R1 WR either, but WR21 seems way too low. If he were to get drafted that low (its possible)...idk, I think he would outperform a lot of guys ahead of him if we re-evaluated in 2-3 years post-draft.

PFF released their draft guide and this is their analysis of Brevin Jordan:
- Below-average ball skills; 11-of-33 on career contested catches. Lot of body catches.
- Catch radius isn't near that of others in this class. Not a red-zone-type weapon
- Barely any inline experience. Blocking is a TBD.
- Season grade (Fr-Jr): 61.6-70.9-74.1
Again I'll repeat that he has a lot of issues on film and could have addressed those concerns if he returned. His PFF grade showed a positive trajectory where another year could've meant a big leap. He's one of the youngest players in the draft. The opportunity cost and risk for returning is low, with the chance to be in the 1st-2nd range in a weak class. @gogeta4
