Jameson Williams
WR / ALABAMA / 6'2 / 188
%20copy%206.png)
Williams is an electric pass-catcher with rare and game-breaking speed. His acceleration and ability to create separation is truly impressive. He can emerge as an elite deep threat in the NFL if he improves his hands. Tends to reel in catches with his body and needs to attack better with his hands. Amazing first step and burst, but will need to add some size. Williams can hurt a defence in many ways and is going to be a stud.
Grade: Round 1
Jaylen Waddle

Garrett Wilson
WR / OHIO STATE / 6'0 / 192
Wilson is an athletic and elusive pass catcher with the ability to do a lot of things well. Makes things happen after the catch, good route runner, good burst. Struggles a little when things get physical in press coverage. Sometimes telegraphs his routes and needs to play with a bit more control and stability. Wilson is an elite playmaker who is very well-rounded and will fit into almost any system.
Grade: Round 1
Justin Jefferson

Chris Olave
WR / OHIO STATE / 6'1 / 188
%20copy%205.png)
Very polished route runner that fits the mold of a traditional wide receiver. Good length and amazing hands. Good burst and speed but needs to utilize these traits more in YAC situations. Smart player who is able to get open easily and is very efficient in making his breaks. Has a very high floor and should contribute a lot to any offence immediately in his rookie season.
Grade: Round 1
Calvin Ridley
4
Jahan Dotson
WR / PENN STATE / 5'11 / 184
Dotson is an extremely reliable pass catcher with good footwork and route running abilities. Good acceleration and speed, and can create separation at all levels of the field. Very quarterback-friendly. Lacks the ideal size and ability to reel in contested catches. Should be a productive WR and a go-to target for a QB. Good instincts and the ability to find open space.
Grade: Round 2
Tyler Lockett
5
Christian Watson
WR / NDSU / 6'5 / 211
Great size and length with a unique combination of speed. A matchup nightmare with all the physical traits. A good competitor who offers value as a run blocker. Moves very well for his size in every situation. Tends to round out his routes and needs to develop a sharper ability cutting in and out. Had issues with drops but has improved a lot. Watson has a lot of upside.
Grade: Round 2
Marquez Valdes.
6
George Pickens
WR / GEORGIA / 6'3 / 200
Pickens has the ideal size for a dominating pass catcher. Pickens is a physically imposing receiver who is fluid in his routes. Great length with a big catch radius. Reliable hands and ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Not overly explosive but can pick up speed over time and can easily win contested catches. Off-field issues and injury are a concern, which will make him a boom or bust prospect.
Grade: Round 2
Mike Williams
7
Drake London
WR / USC / 6'5 / 210
%20copy%204.png)
London is an extremely unique talent with excellent size and coordination. He is used in many different ways and is very versatile, especially for his size. He can catch any ball in traffic and is smart enough to find the soft spots in the zone. Although fast for his size, he lacks burst and acceleration off his release. Must be used in the right way, and isn’t as scary of a route-runner as some of the other prospects. Due to the combination of size, coordination, and versatility, London has a chance to be very special.
Grade: Round 2
Mike Evans
8
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR / KENTUCKY / 5'11 / 185
Robinson is an extremely explosive, versatile, and twitchy athlete who can hurt you in so many ways. With the direction the NFL is headed in and the emergence of swiss army weapons, this is someone who is really valuable. Has a slight frame but is able to beat physicality with his quick release. Needs to add to his route tree and add a bit of size. Robinson is a unique talent who can be a problem for defences.
Grade: Round 2
Tyreek Hill
9
Skyy moore
WR / WESTERN MICHIGAN / 5'10 / 195
Moore is a very twitchy and agile receiver. Incredible quick release with an ability to beat defenders with his first step. Plays with great balance and stays in a good position when moving in and out of his routes. Can hurt you in YAC situations. Small catch radius and small frame. Should be a reliable and consistent target in the slot with the ability to win on the outside as well.
Grade: Round 2
Christian Kirk
10
Treylon Burks
WR / ARKANSAS / 6'3 / 225
%20copy%203.png)
Burks is a very interesting receiver with a strong frame. He is incredibly physical and versatile and can be used in many different formations. Hard to tackle and has a good ability to fight through defenders. Comes out a bit sluggish on his releases and does not possess great acceleration when breaking his routes. He needs to improve his route tree, but not the biggest issue as he impacts the game in many ways. Burks is a very unique talent that, if used right, can make a huge impact.
Grade: Round 2
N'Keal Harry
11
John Metchie III
WR / ALABAMA / 6'0 / 195
%20copy.png)
Metchie is a very smart player who is able to maneuver in and out of zones to find open space. Good quickness and twitch add value to his game in YAC situations. Has an explosive first step and good release. Could be a bit more decisive with the ball in his hands. Hands are not good and struggles against physical cornerbacks. Metchie can be productive in the NFL.
Grade: Round 2
Stefon Diggs
12
Jalen Tolbert
WR / SOUTH ALABAMA / 6'3 / 190
Tolbert has a very long frame with a big-catch radius. Even when defended well against, Tolbert’s length allows him to come up with the ball in tough situations. He possesses big-play ability as a deep threat. Inconsistent hands and struggles with routine drops. Needs to improve his route tree and add some size. Good speed but does not have short-area quickness.
Grade: Round 3
Robby Anderson
13
Alec Pierce
WR / CINCINNATI / 6'3 / 208
Pierce is a great athlete with an impressive combination of size and speed. He is a versatile pass-catcher with the ability to play on the outside and effectively win in the slot. Pierce does not have great hands and has some bad drops. He will need to improve his technique of catching the ball but he has a lot of upside and should be an effective player at the next level.
Grade: Round 3
Eric Decker
14
Calvin Austin III
WR / MEMPHIS / 5'9 / 173
%20copy%202.png)
Austin is a laughably fast receiver who has 4.3 speed but his lateral movements are more impressive than his straight line speed. Great acceleration and burst and very hard to keep up with. He has a small frame and can get knocked down easily. Good hands and route-running ability. A combination of speed and explosiveness allows him to get open very often. Will be a very useful weapon in today’s style of play.
Grade: Round 3
Marquise Brown
15
Justyn Ross
WR / CLEMSON / 6'4 / 205
Ross has great size and length. He is twitchy and agile when breaking in and out of his routes. He was a bit under-utilized at Clemson and was hurt by poor QB play after Trevor Lawrence got drafted. Injuries are a really big concern for his draft stock. Strong hands and a great feel for the game and has a high IQ. If he is able to stay healthy he can be a consistent option in the NFL.
Grade: Round 3
Marvin Jones
16
Khalil Shakir
WR / BOISE STATE / 6'0 / 193
.png)
Shakir is a tough player who is willing to fight through contact and work in the middle of the field. He has a great ability to make contested catches and concentrate through traffic. He is a versatile playmaker who can be used in many ways. Shakir has a limited route tree, lacks burst off his release, and lacks ideal length and size for the position. Good ability to find the soft spot in the zone.
Grade: Round 4
Kendrick Bourne
17
David Bell
WR / PURDUE / 6'2 / 205
Bell is a long and physical receiver with an ideal build for the outside. He has good body control and stays balanced throughout his routes. Good ability to stay patient and find the gaps in a zone. Can make contested catches in traffic. Lacks urgency and consistency when running his routes and lacks the desired burst off his release.
Grade: Round 4
Van Jefferson
18
Romeo Doubs
WR / NEVADA / 6'2 / 204
Doubs has an ideal build for the position. He is a good deep threat who picks up speed when downfield. Has a good ability to track the ball over his shoulder and make tough catches. Concentrated and reliable target. Lacks acceleration and it takes him a while to pick up speed. Comes out of his route very slow and upright, and lacks separation on intermediate routes.
