Rome Odunze Draft Profile:

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Odunze is an above-average height/weight/speed athlete with the pass-catching instincts and competitive focus to be a playmaking NFL receiver. He projects as a true X receiver and has the skill level to elevate his quarterback’s play.
GRADE: 1st Round (No. 6 overall)

Caleb Williams Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Extremely creative and mobile; strong arm with good accuracy; excels in unstructured play.

- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Williams needs to be more consistent working on-schedule from the pocket, but you live with the hiccups because the positives are special with his dynamic passing skills and instinctive ability to create.
GRADE: 1st Round (No. 1 overall)

- via PFF:
Williams is an incredibly talented player with natural gifts even other previous QB1s do not have. His issues are more from a lack of consistency than ability in any area. This is a QB with franchise-changing talent that is worthy of a No. 1 overall selection.

- Downey's 'Bad':
Tendency to seek big plays can lead to mistakes; Handling under pressure has regressed; Ball security issues.
