Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze is a blue chip prospect in this year's NFL Draft, but which three teams are the best possible landing spots for his development and career?
Odunze helped quarterback Michael Penix Jr. lead a high-flying Washington Husky offense to the College Football Playoffs and National Championship game this past season.
Opposing defenses couldn't keep the Huskies from lighting up the scoreboard, and Odunze put up 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns as a result.
Now, Rome Odunze is widely considered the third best wide receiver prospect in a draft absolutely loaded with high-end players at the position. Here are the three teams that are the best fit for the Las Vegas native.

Rome Odunze Landing Spot: New York Giants
The Giants are also a team totally devoid of talent at the offensive skill positions, but they're also a mess on the offensive line outside of Andrew Thomas.
The Giants have a ton of needs, and it will be interesting to see which direction they go with their first round pick. With so many holes, could a trade down make sense to give them more draft capital and more talented players on rookie contracts?
This is a team that has lacked anything resembling a number one wide receiver since Odell Beckham Jr. was dealt to Cleveland many years ago.
It would be a good fit to take Rome Odunze in an attempt to end that drought, and Odunze would give Daniel Jones a fighting chance to get something going on offense.
Rome Odunze Landing Spot: New York Jets
The Jets have put together a great off-season, fixing up their offensive line and adding depth to an outstanding defense. The standout weak point on this roster is receiving weapons for Aaron Rodgers, and that's where Odunze could come in.
Outside of number one wideout Garrett Wilson and newly acquired Mike Williams(if healthy), there is a glaring lack of pass-catching talent on this team, and it was part of what doomed them when Rodgers went down and the less effective Zach Wilson had to take over.
Throughout his career, Rodgers has always preferred the type of cerebral technician and solid hands type of receiver that Odunze is. Wilson is a great option all over the field, but Odunze's presence could free him up for more opportunities in the screen game and deep shots down the field.
Taking Rome Odunze could help transform the Jets' wide receiver room from a weakness into a strength.
Rome Odunze Landing Spot: Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have gone all in on veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, signing the former Viking in free agency after he missed most of this past season with a torn achilles.
Atlanta has invested heavily in skill positions in recent years, as they have running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts, and receiver Drake London to show for it.
But behind London, there's not been much in that number two wide receiver spot. An addition like Rome Odunze would mark a significant upgrade there, and give the Falcons four mismatch opportunities on the field at all times.
Atlanta could look to go defense, but the best player available at their pick will almost certainly be an offensive guy.
