Seely sees Egbuka as a fringe WR1/2, agrees on fading Rashee Rice, pegs Ashton Jeanty as only a back-end RB1, is bullish on Harold Fannin Jr. (81 catches, ranked behind LaPorta but ahead of Pitts), views Tyler Shough as a QB2 with roughly 3,700-3,800 passing yards, loves Quentin Johnston (approaching 900 yards and nine TDs), has Javonte Williams as RB13, and projects Carnell Tate for over 1,000 yards and six scores.
“I am in on Quinton Johnston. I have him higher. I have him over eight hundred yards ... approaching nine hundred yards, and I have him approaching nine touchdowns.”
