# Matt Harmon: In a snake-draft of the best NFL wide receivers for the 2025 season, Harmon's ten selections (at overall picks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28) headlined by Ja'Marr Chase at No. 1 and Nico Collins at No. 4. They also made several depth-chart calls, including Travis Hunter as Jacksonville's No. 2 receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr., and predicted Riley Leonard will make starts for the Colts. **Claimed:** Jun 5, 2025 **Pundit:** Matt Harmon — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/matt-harmon **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/aaron-rodgers-signs-and-top-30-wide-receivers-in-the-nfl 6 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 5 of 6 have settled so far, averaging 84 out of 100, against 83.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > I'm gonna go ahead and give it Jamar Chase off the top here because he's coming off the best year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “Harmon's picks in the top-30 wide receiver draft: Jamar Chase (1), Nico Collins (4), Amon-Ra St. Brown (7), Malik Nabers (10), Ladd McConkey (13), Garrett Wilson (16), Brandon Aiyuk (19), Chris Godwin (22), Travis Hunter (25), Zay Flowers (28)” - Kind: Top Player Lists - Verdict: scored 70.24 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Brian Thomas Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 83.33 for a naive guess - **Zay Flowers to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 91.67 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Michael Pittman to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Michael Pittman, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 91.67 out of 100, against 91.67 for a naive guess - **Riley Leonard to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Riley Leonard, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 91.67 for a naive guess - **Travis Hunter to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Brian Thomas Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brian-thomas-jr - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Zay Flowers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/zay-flowers - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Michael Pittman — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/michael-pittman - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/colts - Riley Leonard — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/riley-leonard - Travis Hunter — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/travis-hunter ## What others said about the same people - John Middlekauff on Anthony Richardson: Middlekoff's bold predictions, as relayed on the show, have the Patriots and Colts making the playoffs; they also argue the Colts whiffed on Anthony Richardson, comparing them to Trey Lance. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/eaacd99d-867e-4bab-9c40-015de85caa35 (scored 100) - Chris Long on Indianapolis Colts: Previewing the Week 9 slate, Chris Long expects the Saints to beat Cleveland, the Colts to beat Dallas, New England to edge Green Bay, and Baltimore to beat the Chargers on Monday night.
