I’m having a hell of a time in ranking these WR on talent. Everytime I think I’m done something new enters the picture. most all is Njigba, Addison, Johnston and Flowers.

My latest has Flowers over Johnston at #3 and I’m not looking at any other WR info until the landings.

Johnston is my biggest disappointment in c view.lose analysis. Almost perfect physical talent but did not use it. I don’t think his landing will change my view.

The trio from CBS did a nice WR run down. They really like Njigba and see him as another St Brown. High on Flowers with Addison close and Johnston only worth a shot with a great landing and will still take a year.
