Knowing what you know now, would you stay put, get the bears 2022 first and fourth round picks, draft Toney and use the bears 2021 5th rounder to move up for Aaron Robinson? Or would you mix the whole thing and get Slater or Parsons?
I really don't have a problem with posters - like you - liking what they see in Toney. There are some very interesting tools in his box.
But it was just an overshoot to bring OBJ into the comp mix. OBJ exploded on the scene; and for three years was a point producing machine. Like I have said on many occasions, I was convinced I was watching a player who could challenge Jerry Rice's greatness.
Can't say I'm surprised at the comp attempt. Everyday posters are trying to convince others that Jones is Eli, 2.0. So the beat goes on...

I agree, definitely way too early for any Odell comparison to be taken seriously. Odell came onto the scene and was pretty much the consensus 3rd best WR to Julio/AB before his rookie year even ended. Some, including myself, even argued he might actually be better than those two after his 2nd season.
Toney has had one great game. We need way more of a sample size of him on the field and healthy to properly figure out how good he is.
I'm not defending the Odell comp. I just feel really good about what I saw from Toney when he was healthy. The fact that he already proved that his #1 skill as a prospect (suddenness) could translate on an NFL field, that's a big deal imo. We'll see how it plays out with him, I totally understand the question marks at this point but I'm feeling good about his potential.

And let’s not forget that long third down that he something made
The kid has “it”
I think it’s very obvious but I guess it isn’t to all
