You be the judge on each of these 10 WR comps

As we Cardinals’ fans look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft with great excitement, it’s always interesting to have a look at what some of the NFL’s most prolific draftniks believe are good player comps. In this case, we are going to turn to Matt Miller and The Draft Scout’s comparisons of the top WRs, many of whom will be on Monti Ossenfort’s and Dave Sears’ radar.

I would like to dedicate this thread to CardsRepinChile, one of our most ardent, insightful and dedicated members of the ROTB family.

With each comparison we will provide a poll to assess whether you agree with the comp, or not.

Note: for those of you who haven’t had a chance yet to watch tape of the top WRs in this class, we are providing highlight vids, plus college vids of the NFL comp players.

Recommendation: Even if you have already evaluated some of these WR prospects, watch the first 3 plays of each video —- first of the 2024 prospect, then of the comp player. With older comps like A.J. Green, it’s very helpful to click on his college highlights in order to see why Matt Miller likens Marvin Harrison Jr. to AJ Green.

Kickoff:

  1. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio St. —- A.J. Green

2. Malik Nabers, WR, LSU —- Brandon Aiyuk

3. Rome Odunze, WR, Washington —- Slower Ja’Marr Chase

4. Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU —- Stable George Pickens

5. Keon Coleman, WR, Florida St. —- Nico Collins

6. Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas —- Tee Higgins

7. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas —- Full-Sized DeSean Jackson

8. Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia —- Puka Nacua

9. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina —- Tyler Boyd

10. Malachai Corely, WR, Western Kentucky —- Amon-Ra St. Brown

Matt Miller has all 10 of these WRs in his Top 50.
