I will speak for me. What has been reported for months has been reported by agents. Outside of a few click bait personalities, almost every post-season media draft board had MHJ #1. Then the anonymous "reports" came out. Some of them unsurprisingly around the time MHJ was choosing to not participate in the combine. Then gained steam after he chose to not perform at his pro day. And now, the week of the draft, further reports from GMs, scouts and coaches start discussing how all three WRs are very close. I am sure this is in no way related to multiple teams discussing trades and trying to generate leverage to get the best deal possible.
Like I said, believe what you want. I just feel this happens almost every year with the draft. Top prospect fatigue and prospect anchoring are real things.
