I agree with all of this. Well said.I think there some WRs in this class who have the potential to approach similar value to these guys, but I don't think any of them are thought of as prospects in the same terms of physical freakishness + college production as say Julio or Calvin. Jeudy, for example, is a technician and his movement is special, but he's not especially strong and has a somewhat skinny build. Reagor may blow up the combine but due to the offense and QB play we don't know as much about his production. I kind of think of Green as the closest parallel to Jeudy -- someone we've been focused on for years and who is an elite technician but lanky.
Even if these WRs don't measure up to Calvin or Julio as prospects, I don't really see that as a huge deal. Some of these guys are going to go early and draft capital, combined with their talent, can really matter in dynasty. Plus, they don't need to be Julio/Calvin/Green to be elite WR1s; the top guys come in with skill sets that, in my opinion, translate well to top fantasy production. I'm no less excited about this class because it (presumably) lacks "generational" or "once every 5-10 year" players (tropes that I keep seeing on dynasty boards).
Jeudy is a freak in a different way. His quickness and change of direction both laterally and changing speeds is incredible. He also has elite speed, great hands, and advanced route running skills, but he doesn't have the big body or height.
Jeudy could be more of a faster Antonio Brown, or Torry Holt type as his ceiling.
Eta: Stefon Diggs also comes to mind as a bit similar. He could be a rich man's Diggs.
