The Round 2 prospects were a lot better than I thought, and with WR1 actually playing WR, it's a class to be excited about once again.

WR1 Travis Hunter (Early Round 1)

• WR Model: 99th percentile

• Comps: Justin Jefferson, Odell Beckham

The 2024 Heisman winner is a generationally unique prospect, redefining what’s possible as a two-way player in the modern era. He logged an absurd 1,562 snaps, including 163 in a single game against Texas Tech, showcasing elite flexibility, body control, and all-around toughness. Those traits play well at corner and receiver, but if he plays offense, you get to throw him as many passes as you want, while on defense, there's only so many reps to show off his tools. To me, he can be a Pro Bowl level outside corner, but I officially want him at WR with the ability to pitch into CB if need be.

On offense, Hunter averaged 97 receiving yards per game with 15 touchdowns (lol). He's explosive and bendy in the route, thriving on intermediate-breaking routes, crossers, go balls, and screens (21 receptions). There are so many "mail box" reps where he throws his hand up as he runs right by defenders. At the catch point, Hunter is elite. He can jump and contort his body with perfect timing, making him a perfect weapon in must-have situations. He maneuvers around defenders and ducks major contact with an ease that's hard to find once the ball is in his hands. There isn't a glaring weakness to his receiving profile, despite taking most of his mid-week reps at corner. Long-story short, Hunter is an ascending receiver whose route running ability will vastly improve if he stays at WR nearly full time.

WR2 Tetairoa McMillan (Early Round 1)

• WR Model: 95th percentile

• Comps: Tee Higgins, Alshon Jeffery, Marvin Harrison Jr.

The 21-year-old early declare put up impressive production with 108 and 110 yards per game as a true sophomore and junior. His 6-foot-5 frame immediately stands out on tape, giving him a major advantage in contested situations and while working over the middle. He has strong hands to pluck the ball out of the air and elite body control for his size, showcased by a highlight one-handed grab against Travis Hunter and countless others on crossing routes over the middle. His back-shoulder catch ability makes him a dangerous downfield weapon, while his surprising shiftiness allows him to generate yards after the catch underneath. He wins consistently on slants and in-breaking routes, with go balls, posts, and fades all well within his arsenal. Though he’s not a true burner (4.54 speed and 59th percentile when weight adjusted), he can threaten every level of the field with his route-running and great ball skills. McMillan profiles as a No. 1 X receiver with a Tier 2 high ceiling.

WR3 Emeka Egbuka (Mid Round 1)

• WR Model: 88th percentile

• Comps: Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods

The senior is a classic, reliable slot receiver with more speed and size (6'1", 201) than most inside receivers. He has an excellent feel for zone coverage, making himself QB-friendly by breaking at the right time when being passed off and coming back to the ball. Ohio State’s all-time leader in receptions (205), Egbuka averaged 89 yards per game with C.J. Stroud in 2022 before playing in a more balanced Chip Kelly offense (63 YPG) as a senior, where he still led the team in receptions over five-star phenom Jeremiah Smith. Egbuka has enough speed (4.48 forty) to threaten defenses on seam balls, crossers, and outs, and his 2022 tape showcases more reps of him winning vertically. Notably, he had success in man coverage against Mike Sainristil and Georgia’s secondary, proving he’s more than just a zone-beater. He's also a willing and physical blocker, making him a candidate to stay in 2-WR sets despite his slot-based profile. Egbuka is polished with a very high floor who can be unlocked by a veteran pocket quarterback who will put all his trust into him. He will help win meaningful games. Like other high-end slot types, Egbuka had a 74th percentile three cone, showcasing his agility.

WR4 Matthew Golden (Mid Round 1)

• WR Model: 91st percentile

• Comps: Stefon Diggs, Will Fuller

The 21-year-old early declare became a bigger piece of the Texas offense as the season progressed after transferring in from Houston. Golden (5'11"/191) is an ascending player with elite movement skills (4.29 forty) and very lackluster production (62 YPG). He moved from the slot to out wide but was at his best against off coverage where his speed threatened vertically (17.0 yards per reception) and his ability to snap off out routes was maximized. There was a reason they sprinkled in some cheat motion to get his momentum rolling, and he scored at least three touchdowns on double moves and post routes, too. Golden is alright against press man coverage from the perimeter--he has some impressive pylon routes in the red zone--but his lack of length does show up as a negative there on some in-breaking routes. He made up for it with some spectacular in-air grabs on other plays. Golden easily could see more vertical slot work in the pros, minimizing the blemishes to his game. Ultimately, he should be a high-end No. 2 receiver with a chance to grow into a No. 1 if he can get better with hands on him or with better tempo in his routes instead of constantly going full speed.

WR5 Kyle Williams (Early Round 2)

• WR Model: 63rd percentile

• Comps: Calvin Ridley, Darnell Mooney

The 22-year-old senior is a 5'11", 190-pound speedster out of Washington State with a smaller catch radius. As a senior, he averaged 92 yards per game with 17.1 yards per reception (80th percentile among drafted WRs). Williams' 4.40 speed allows him to stack cornerbacks on vertical routes from the perimeter and out of the slot, but he's most dominant as a yards after catch weapon because of his initial burst. He averaged an elite 13.3 yards after the catch on his 18 screen receptions, consistently splitting defenders. Williams will need to be schemed up and hidden in bunched sets or in motion to be fully unlocked, but he has the juice to overcome his size in a lessened role. With development on a more diverse route tree, Williams has an underrated ceiling.

WR6 Jaylin Noel (Early Round 2)

• WR Model: 72nd percentile

• Comps: Tyler Lockett, Christian Kirk

The 22-year-old senior is a small (5'10"/194) but explosive receiver with sub-30-inch arms and 9.0-inch hands. Despite his size, he plays with some physicality on deeper passes, though defenders can play through him underneath. His 4.39 speed (87th percentile) and 41.5-inch vertical (95th percentile) make him a dynamic vertical threat, especially from the slot, where he lined up on 60% of his snaps. An excellent route runner, he wins by breaking off the vertical stem on posts, comebacks, and outs, often benefiting from motion to mitigate size concerns. While he won't live outside, he can definitely survive out there for snaps in different personnel packages. Noel posted 85 YPG and accounted for 33% of his team’s receiving yards alongside NFL prospect Jayden Higgins. He projects as a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver with a defined role as a vertical slot option.

WR7 Jayden Higgins (Early Round 2)

• WR Model: 76th percentile

• Comps: Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.

The 22-year-old senior is a versatile receiver who runs the full route tree and lines up both inside and out. He excels at setting up breaking routes by threatening vertically, using nice releases to create separation. At 6'4"/214 with a 39-inch vertical, he’s a powerful presence at the catch point, making him a reliable jump-ball target and potential red zone threat. Despite his frame, he flashes nice burst on double moves and clocked an impressive 4.47 forty. His 3.2 yards per route vs. man coverage and 91 YPG (33% of his team’s receiving yards) pass all analytical thresholds. Higgins isn't particularly elusive after the catch or special in a straight line, but he can battle with the most difficult assignments as second or third option in the pass game.

WR8 Luther Burden (Round 2)

• WR Model: 86th percentile

• Comps: Rashee Rice, Tavon Austin

The 21-year-old early declare was a 5-star recruit out of high school before having an up-and-down college career. Burden (6'0"/206) played his most outside snaps as a freshman with bad results (24 YPG) and then had an elite sophomore season (93 YPG) as a go-to player from the slot and backfield. He was heavily utilized on screens, option routes, flats, drags, and the occasional slot fade. He's effective after the catch in three ways: speed, agility, and pound-for-pound strength. Burden's flashes as an intermediate player were there, too. He can track the ball well over his shoulder and make acrobatic adjustments when needed. He has real 4.41 speed on crossing and go routes, but Burden has sub-par releases, terrible zone/scramble drill instincts, and tends to be more of a body catcher when working over the middle (8.5-inch hands). There were very few press man coverage reps, as their coordinators tried to hide him. His effort really came and went, as did his final-season numbers (53 YPG and bottom 6th percentile yards per reception). If he plays to his potential, Burden legitimately can be a top-15 overall player as a slot or Z receiver that can ball out with a creative play caller. The athleticism is so obvious. But I worry that the football smarts, effort, and route running will always leave us wanting more.

WR9 Jack Bech (Round 2)

• WR Model: 64th percentile

• Comps: JuJu Smith-Schuster

The 22-year-old senior played as a power slot at LSU (out-producing Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas in 2021) before playing outside receiver at TCU. Standing at 6'1" and 214 pounds, Bech can run a full route tree from any position. His route running ability and strong release package consistently has corners in bad positions. He manipulates space and has enough agility (62nd percentile) to get out of his breaks. Bech can play a physical style over the middle, though he was never used in the screen game or overwhelmed players with his straight-line speed. He's a trained separator that can play as a rookie. He averaged 86 yards per game last year, placing him in the 70th percentile among drafted WRs since 2005 (and that doesn't include the very mediocre QB play he dealt with). I'd sign up for more power slot work in the big leagues, but we need to be realistic with just how many offenses actually use that body type.

WR10 Tre Harris (Late Round 2)

• WR Model: 61st percentile

• Comps: Michael Gallup, Cedric Tillman

A smooth route runner with fine releases, this 6'3", 210-pound receiver dominated man coverage in 2024, posting an elite 20.7 yards per target. His route tree is mostly built on go routes, posts, hitches, and screens, so everything beyond that is a projection. He can win on the line of scrimmage with releases, but he's even better playing through contact at the catch point. He broke some tackles after the catch and can split safeties up the seam. Harris isn't overly shifty or agile underneath, rather profiling as a vertical-stemmed downfield X receiver. His handful of breaking-route targets were clean as hell, for what it's worth. Overall, his middling production at Louisiana Tech can partially be explained by being a QB in high school where he was throwing passes to Malik Nabers (lol). If he aces the NFL Combine with timed speed, Harris should lock into Round 2. He seems like an ascending player.

WR11 Tory Horton (Round 3)

• WR Model: 49th percentile

• Comps: Darius Slayton, Devontez Walker

The 22-year-old Colorado State redshirt senior is a lean, outside receiver with real speed. Despite coming off a knee injury, Horton (6'2.5"/196) ran a 4.41 forty at the NFL Combine. In 2023, he averaged 95 receiving yards per game on just 11.8 yards per catch (bottom 12th percentile). He caught most of his passes on quick-hitting zone hitches and intermediate crossing routes, which are his best route as it showcases his straight-line speed while minimizing his inability to drop his hips and change directions. His upright play style limits his ceiling. Horton can be a rotational outside receiver, especially in a play action offense that will allow him to run more intermediate and downfield routes than what was asked of him in college.

WR12 Elic Ayomanor (Late Round 3)

• WR Model: 66th percentile

• Comps: Romeo Doubs, smaller Gabriel Davis

The 22-year-old early declare averaged 69 yards per game on a struggling Stanford team as a primarily outside downfield receiver at 6'2"/206. His average depth of target stood at 14.9 yards downfield, and that number was even higher against man coverage. Ayomanor's production is mediocre. 2.2 yards per route against man coverage, 43rd percentile fantasy points per game, and a 67th percentile college dominator rating. On tape, he creates some downfield separation with his 4.44 forty, but his ball skills are concerning, often clapping at the ball on breaking routes and letting the ball hit his chest on jump balls. He's not an agile mover in the route, nor makes adjustments with the ball in the air. Ayomanor needs to threaten at multiple levels to open up his downfield ability, but he will play more snaps than his receiving value suggests because he's a physical and willing blocker who can be featured in bunched sets. He has an injury history as well. ACL, MCL and meniscus in high school followed by another knee injury as a freshman.

WR13 Jalen Royals (Late Round 3)

• WR Model: 61st percentile

The 22-year-old senior played primarily as an outside receiver at 6'0"/205, often lining up near the sideline in Utah State's unusual splits, but Royals should play in the slot more often in the NFL. He averaged an impressive 119 yards in his 7 games last year (foot injury). That's 92nd percentile fantasy points per game and 2.9 yards per route, though 31% of his receptions were screens. His yards after the catch ability is worth manufacturing touches for and open up his NFL ceiling. Despite coming off injury, Royals had a 95th percentile 10-yard split at the NFL Combine. He's probably a 4.3s guy at full health. His quick feet allow him to split defenders after the catch, occasionally win downfield, and win off the line against man coverage. Royals will likely be an inside-outside low-end starter as long as his hands improve. A majority of his drops were on simple zone-coverage hitches or shorter in-breaking routes.

WR14 Tai Felton (Early Round 4)

• WR Model: 48th percentile

• Comps: Christian Watson's explosiveness with Romeo Doubs' physicality and Dontayvion Wicks' hands

The 22-year-old senior was a two-year starter at Maryland who posted 94 yards per game and 81st percentile fantasy points per game among drafted WRs as a senior despite a tough schedule. Felton's production came with a lower 11.7 yards per reception (12th percentile) due to a massive jump in screen usage (33% of his catches). At 6'1"/183, he’s quite thin, but he tested as a high-end athlete with 87th percentile jumps and 85th percentile speed. He’s slippery after the catch, shows toughness over the middle, and can occasionally beat press coverage outside. But his hands are a real concern—8 drops, frequent awkward landings, and a tendency to slow down at the catch point are all concerning. Felton has Day 2 traits with UDFA hands, making him a boom-bust prospect.

WR15 Pat Bryant (Early Round 4)

• WR Model: 39th percentile

• Comps: Michael Wilson, Gabriel Davis, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

The 22-year-old senior contributed for three years at Illinois and brings a physical presence at 6'2"/204. While his 4.61 forty is well below average, Bryant posted a 42nd percentile 10-yard split with 63rd percentile jumps and plays a bit faster than timed, showing long-striding ability after the catch. He thrives on dig routes and go balls, with some wins against man—including a couple versus 1st-round CB Quinyon Mitchell in 2023—but he struggles with sharp route breaks and agility at the top of comebacks. He made plenty of high-pointed grabs in tough situations, which he'll need to do in the pros to make up for his long speed. His 2024 production was strong across advanced metrics: 89th percentile dominator rating, 82nd percentile yards per team pass attempt, and an impressive 18.2 yards per reception. Bryant is a dirty work receiver with real blocking value and a vertical receiving presence, likely projecting as a No. 3 or No. 4 option. I also loved his interviews.

WR16 Isaac Teslaa (Late Round 4)

• WR Model: 32nd percentile

• Comps: Andrei Iosivas, Jeff Janis

The 23-year-old redshirt senior was a wing T QB in high school, learned receiver in D-II, and then played slot receiver at Arkansas for the past two seasons. Teslaa (6'3"/214) is a big slot type with truly elite athleticism—4.43 speed, a 39.5-inch vert, and a 4.05 shuttle—and it's felt at times on tape. He only caught 28 passes as a senior but didn't drop a pass and averaged 19 yards per catch. There are a couple fancy route wins and he took a couple big hits, but he wasn't consistently involved and often was fighting through traffic despite his speed. It's unclear why he played in the slot on a whopping 73% of his snaps and left 6 games with 0 or 1 receptions. Teslaa seems like a very athletic developmental type and potentially a great special teamer.

WR17 Savion Williams (Late Round 4)

• WR Model: 15th percentile

• Comps: Older and less productive Laviska Shenault

The redshirt senior spent all five years at TCU and topped out at just 52 receiving yards per game, with very poor yards per team pass attempt (bottom 8th percentile among drafted WRs). His tape at receiver is at best inconsistent—8 drops, shaky hand placement, and limited route diversity (mostly screens, hitches, slants, and go balls). Ball tracking was generally poor, though he flashed with a few highlight grabs including a Moss'ed touchdown. His most intriguing upside comes as a manufactured-touch player, especially in wildcat or gadget packages where he’s shown chaotic but effective rushing vision. At 6'4"/222 with a 78th-percentile 10-yard split, he has rare size for those roles but lacks the polish or route tree to be a full-time receiver. Williams profiles as a theoretical asset. It's a bummer that he only has 9 returns on special teams since 2021, too.

WR18 Isaiah Bond (Round 5 to UDFA)

• WR Model: 67th percentile

• Comps: Mecole Hardman

The 21-year-old early declare out of Texas comes with extreme explosiveness (4.39) and not a lot else so far. He only averaged 39 yards per game as a junior with 6th percentile fantasy points among drafted WRs since 2005. His production on "real" routes was specifically limited, as just two receptions came against press man coverage and 31% of his receptions came on screens. Bond (5'11"/180) has yards after catch juice and is worthy of manufacturing touches for. He played too much outside receiver in college and would benefit from playing in the slot more as his skill set develops. He has flashed more downfield usefulness than others in this mold, but his ceiling is a total projection.

WR19 Xavier Restrepo (Round 6)

The 23-year-old redshirt senior out of Miami is a short but thick slot receiver (5'10"/210) with an uncommon build. Restrepo averaged 94 yards per game with Cam Ward, posting a solid 2.5 yards per route as the primary underneath target. He's a sure-handed receiver with a professional feel who is willing as a blocker as well. He is an adequate screen game target but is better as an underneath route runner who can use tempo and head fakes to create separation. His agility and low center of gravity make him an elusive yards after the catch player, but the transition to the NFL game will expose his lackluster length and elite athletic traits. ... Comps: Jarvis Landry, Slade Bolden.
