1. Zay Flowers

5”10, 172

Round: 1

Grade: 80%

Comp: Antonio Brown

Summary

For someone playing with as bad quarterback play as Flowers has in his college career, he looks amazing. He has amazing suddenness and cutting ability in routes that will make him difficult to cover short. He has elite speed that will be hard to keep up with down the field. He is very elusive after the catch and played all over the formation at BC so he should not be relegated to the slot only. He has some concentration drops and drifts on comeback routes and drag routes that need to be cleaned up. His size may be concerning to some but he is not thin and has a lot of moves to release to where he should be able to beat all different types of coverages at the next level. Flowers appears to be a hard worker and takes no plays off as evidenced by his willingness to block and sell routes. We have him comped to Antonio Brown and we do not take it lightly. He looks so similar on tape to Brown it is uncanny. This may raise eyebrows but this is what our scouting tells us.

2. Quentin Johnston  

6”4, 215

Round: 1

Grade: 76%

Comp: Darius Heyward-Bey

Summary

Johnston has been on the radar all season long. He is a massive size/speed prospect with a ton of upside. Despite being 6”4 he plays like a much smaller receiver (not necessarily in a bad way) with elite speed, route running, and RAc ability that makes him incredibly difficult to defend. He took over the Michigan game when they played soft, but struggled to get anything against press coverage from Kelee Ringo in  the Georgia game. Granted, a lot of his one catch blame in the championship falls on Duggan, he still has average strength and good press corners could give him trouble. He still possesses elite talent as a crisp route runner with solid hands and great speed with the size to project upside should he learn how to use it.

Upd 4/1: He ran a 4.50 40 at his pro day which is a somewhat alarming. For people who use the argument that 4.6 is fine for JSN but 4.5 is not for Johnston, that is correct. Johnston is a big receiver who struggles with contested catches and jump balls and relies more on his speed and ability as a runner. If he cannot win vertically with speed or size that could be a problem.

3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba

6”1, 200

Round: 1

Grade: 64%

Comp: Juju Smith Schuster

Summary

It is hard to predict how JSN will be viewed by scouts after basically missing all of this season. He has incredibly reliable hands, good play strength, and is not bad in any area. His athletic testing at the combine and pro day showed great short area quickness and good enough overall speed.  Despite this he may be best served in the slot as an option who can be a number 1 from that alignment (similar to the Kupp roll in LA)

4. Jordan Addison

5”11, 173

Round: 1

Grade:74%

Comp: Brandin Cooks

Summary

Addison transferred to USC this past season and his production was almost halved. This does not mean he was not a factor. Addison possesses high end speed with great route running to match. His hands are good enough and can be used in a variety of ways at the next level. He has had a few lower leg injuries this year that are worth mentioning but nothing suggests they will linger. There is some slight concern that he will struggle against very physical corners on the press but it is not a massive one. He should be one of the top 5 receivers taken and is very resemblant of Brandon Cooks only taller.

Upd 4/1: His athletic testing raises some red flags as he tested okay but not elite.For a player that is only 173 pounds and offers little after the catch this is slightly concerning

5. Rashee Rice

6”1, 204

Round: 1/2

Comp: Brandon Aiyuk

Summary:

Rice really struggled at the Senior Bowl which had him trending in the wrong direction. If you watch the reps, though, he was being held repeatedly. Rice offers a lot of potential. He is a pretty good route runner with decent hands and is wicked after the catch. His size and jumping ability (as seen at the combine) allows him to win jump balls time and time again. He could sneak his way into the first round for WR needy teams like Minnesota and Buffalo

6. Jalin Hyatt

6”0, 180

Round: Late 1

Grade: 66%

Comp: Will Fuller

Summary

Hyatt may run in the 4.2s at the combine and get drafted in the first because of it. While not diverse in his route tree, there are signs he can develop it further with further teaching. It is unknown how he will do if placed on the outside or against press as neither ever happened at Tennessee. He is more risky than other receivers in this class but also has speed you just cannot teach.

7. Jonathan Mingo

6”2, 220

Round: 2

Comp: Michael Floyd

Summary: Ole Miss is quietly gaining a strong case to be considered WR University. They seem to produce a prospect every year, and Mingo has a chance to be one of the better ones. He has good route running and can offer a lot after the catch. It is hard not to picture Ole Miss alum AJ Brown while watching Mingo, with his incredible hands and tracking ability. However we will temper expectations slightly by comparing him to Michael Floyd, with the upside of AJ Brown.

8. Parker Washington

5″10, 215

Round: 2

Grade: 69%

Comp: Lavish Shenault Lite

Summary: 

Washington is stocky and he sticks out because of this. His frame packs a good amount of power that, paired with his elusiveness, makes him a great YAC prospect. His speed is good, not great, as is his route running. However his hands are reliable and his versatility suggests a primary slot who can line up outside, out of the backfield, or be used as a return man

9. Puka Nacua

6”2, 201

Round: 3

Grade

Comp: Robert Woods

Summary:

This will certainly raise some eyebrows. But, we think Nacua is a gem in this draft. He has breakaway speed, very good hands, and good enough route running (that does need some development).He took a lot of jet sweeps and can make would be tacklers miss in different ways. We realistically expect him to go around the 4th, but he shouldn’t. He has the size and speed to develop into a draft steal. 

10. Michael Wilson

6”2, 213

Round: 3

Grade: High upside receiver with injury concerns

Comp: Josh Palmer

Summary:

Michael Wilson is a big riser for a reason. He dominated the Senior Bowl practices and should have been the game MVP. He then went to the combine and continued his rise with good testing. His routes are sharp, he has great hands, and he is good at going up and getting the football. He is much more projection based and carries real injury concern but he is one of the few receivers in the second group that has number 1 potential if he develops right.

11. Josh Downs

5”10, 175

Round: 2

Grade: 64%

Comp: Hunter Renfrow

Summary

Athletic testing could completely change this review but his speed just seems very overrated. It feels like he will test more average than expected. If this is the case he may not have the speed to uncover on the outside.That being said he can be a very good starter in the slot thanks to his route running. He has the makings of a starting slot who can get open using route running but may struggle against press coverage.

12. Marvin Mims

5”11, 184

Round: 3

Grade: 60%

Comp: Darius Slayton

Summary:

Mims’s production has been very inconsistent throughout his time at Oklahoma. There are really good games and ones where he disappears completely. He has very good hands and above average speed that could serve him well in a slot roll. His lack of sharpness on his route running needs to be worked on for him to become more than an average starter in the league and he has to learn more play strength or get creative with his release to beat more physical corners and be more useful outside of the slot

13. Jayden Reed

5”11, 187

Round: 3

Comp: Sterling Sheppard

Summary:

Reed is a very good route runner who excels with body control and reliable hands. He offers some after the catch and pairs that with good speed. He is probably  a slot at the NFL level but is also not useless on the outside either.

14. Bryce Ford-Wheaton

6”4 , 221

Round: 3/4

Grade

Comp: Martavis Bryant

Summary:

Some teams are probably shaking their heads after his combine, after he is longer a sleeper for them. Ford-Wheaton possesses an elite combination of size and speed similar to that of DK Metcalf. But, the comparisons stop there. Wheaton struggles to beat press despite his size and ran a painfully limited route tree at WVU. He can certainly develop, and become a good receiver, but he has a longer ways to go than most in this class. The potential is there and he may get taken higher than expected, but he also has one of the lower floors in this class.

15. Charlie Jones

5”11 , 175

Round: 4/5

Grade

Comp: Danny Amendola (But Faster)

Summary:

It feels like he was greatly misused this season at Purdue, yet still succeeded. Despite playing on the boundary when he screams slot, Jones looked decent. He has very good route running and ran faster than expected at the combine, so there is reason to believe he could be the latest day 3 slot receiver to go and immediately carve out a roll at the next level. But since he has experience on the outside he comes with a little more positional flexibility.

16. Jacob Copeland

5”11, 201

Round: 4/5

Comp:

Summary:

For the attention that Rakim Jarrett gets, Copeland is the Maryland receiver that projects the best for the next level in our opinion. Copeland is a big target at 201 pounds with good speed to match, and offers a little after the catch. He catches too many with his body but he does have the upside of a starting WR3. 

17. Andrei Iosivas

6”3, 205

Round: 4/5

Comp: Mack Hollins

Summary:

An impressive size and speed prospect that dominated at Princeton, Iosivas still has a lot of development to go. He needs to work on his hands, play strength, and route running, but could be used as WR4 deep threat early in his career.

18. AT Perry

6”3 ½ , 198

Round: 5

Comp: Miles Boykin

Summary:

Size speed prospect who has a lot of production in college. His release is pretty rough to watch as he is very slow getting off the line. He also has hands that cause concern for drops at the next level. That being said, he does possess an elite size and speed profile that could easily project far better than his draft slot should he go to a place that can develop him.

19. Trey Palmer

6”0, 192

Round: 5

Grade

Comp: Paul Richardson

Summary:

Palmer’s blazing speed shows up on film, and he has good enough route running to be a deep threat at the next level. Unfortunately, he offers almost nothing after the catch beyond his speed so we do not see him evolving into a more special player. His hands are also suspect as he traps the ball and body catches almost everything below his waist.

20. Matt Landers

6”4 , 200

Round: 5

Grade

Comp: Robbie Anderson like

Summary:

He is tall and has speed but is very thing. He was unable to carve out a role at Georgia, but had a pretty good season after transferring to Arkansas. Landers can be a vertical threat on the outside and offers some after the catch ability, but he needs a lot of development.

21. Tyler Scott

5”10, 177

Round: 4/5

Comp:KJ Hamler

Summary:

Super thin receiver with vertical speed to stretch the field.  Tyler Scott ran a good 40 time, but way slower than the rumored 4.2s he was projected. We do not see him ever ascending to full blown starter but he can be useful as a WR 4

22. Tank Dell  

5″10, 165

Round: 5

Grade: 

Comp: Dede Westbrook

Summary:

Tank Dell has one of the best nicknames out there. He is super skinny, but at 5’10 there is hope in our eyes that he can add a few pounds at the next level to better hold up. That being said, he is pretty great after the catch, has good route running, and is fast. He catches far too much with his body and is probably a slot only, but he can be a very productive slot receiver at the next level.

Upd. 3/20

A very disappointing combine from an athletic standpoint has in falling way down our draft boards.

23. Kazmeir Allen

5”9, 175

Round: 5

Grade

Comp: Curtis Samuel Lite 

Summary:

He is undersized, but can do a lot for teams. His speed is a little overrated but he still should be a valuable piece for a NFL team.

24. Cedric Tillman

6”3, 213

Round: 5

Comp: 

Summary:

Tillman has the size to succeed at the NFL level, but not much else. His hands are iffy, he is incredibly stiff on routes, and does not win on jump balls like you would want. We do not see him as much more than a depth receiver.

25. Kayshon Boutte

6”0, 205

Round: 7

Grade: 54%

Comp: Poor man’s Paris Campbell with injury and maturity concerns

Summary:

Boutte is going to be an interesting scout for most teams. He has pretty good speed and route running with after the catch ability that could prove to be useful. However this season could not have gone worse for him and his draft stock. There were so many drops. Almost any game watched this year had a drop and some had many. It was so bad that he was going to return to school but reports indicate he was asked not to. His availability is a concern. He had major ankle surgery and just seemed to stay on the ground after every hit he took longer than you want. We also knocked him in this area for whatever happened that caused him to not return to school. We typically have not addressed character concerns in profiles but it is legitimate here. He scrubbed is Instagram early in the season (removing any mention of LSU), and has effort concerns. You may not find a more unwilling blocker at wide receiver. Boutte has some traits to like and he can absolutely mature but there is a ton of risk here.
