Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: CeeDee Lamb

Quick Report: Rubbery and engaged mover who has the elasticity, body control and spring you look for in an elite receiver. Tyson has a bag of tools off the line and in his routes and is mature as a prospect because he uses the entire toolset to work DB’s constantly. Everything about his actions is natural and smooth while has hands are snappy to the football. His speed is adequate and he’s more of a glider running vertical but his game is short-area burst and acceleration over long speed. You’re drafting Tyson to take over games as a reception magnet.

Round Value: 1
Player Comparison: Laveranues Coles

Quick Report: A do-everything workhorse, Lemon is geared to exploit every scenario in the short and intermediate game. Lemon knows to gear up or down to maximize availability when moving through zones and present a dependable target with effortless hands that snatch the ball. He’ll fit more as a movable inside-first receiver like Amon-Ra St.Brown that works horizontal routes at all depths. His acceleration and balance are great and he works initial cushions well with burst to keep DB’s off balance. He’s well built to survive the endless targets he will receive although his frame doesn’t have length so his smaller radius will mean a pairing with a timing/placement Quarterback will be beneficial.

Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Michael Thomas

Quick Report: A great hands catcher, Tate really presents his hands and gets behind the ball. He has natural snatch-out-of-the air motions with softness and full extension toward the ball. Boxes out defenders well and keeps routes going like slants while presenting a big target. Tate can waste moves in routes and put in lots of extra work with little results in getting a DB to bite. Vertical push is only adequate off release and athletic NFL Corners won’t be threatened by deeper routes. Change of direction and dependable hands are the key traits here with a good long stride to coast through zones. There’s a really good WR2 here to start and an interesting ceiling if you think there’s lots of growth coming.

Round Value: 1-2
Player Comparison: Parker Washington

Quick Report: Strong build, with a stocky frame and thoroughly distributed muscle. Can elongate to catch outside his frame well but is shorter limbed. Has a weird toe-drag running style with hip sink like an RB that keeps his COG low and limits burst but increases balance. Flashes open hands to the ball consistently. Quick out of breaks, snappy, but speed is simple otherwise and he’s not a downfield threat. Needs to push harder vertical off the line to set up moves at the top of routes.

Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Eddie Royal

Quick Report: The risk? Jahan Dotson, Jalen Reagor, or even a decent Wan’Dale Robinson. Concepcion is in that dangerous range of small receiver with elite quicks and route running skills who is either a total menace or just a pesky jitterbug that gets pushed around. I’d bet on his ability though. He’s incredibly quick in short stabbing movements and can change direction on a dime. His route running has sharp angles and much less drift and he’ll hit spots without his QB having to wait. He can fight press mainly with quickness to get to an outside shoulder of a DB and work from there. HIs return skills show how comfortable he is navigating traffic with the ball and how he switches to fluidity and agility when he’s secured the ball. The small frame with limited radius is the risk, and it’ll be interesting to see his measurables this offseason.

Round Value: 2
Player Comparison: Randall Cobb

Quick Report: You want him on your team, on the field every down. Williams plays at a high tempo at all times and always knows where to be. A technician with each role and he can line up everywhere. Williams has natural feel to drift to open space or attack and flip defenders hips before peeling off to space. The drawbacks are non-elite top speed more of a smooth over sudden style and slightly smaller frame. A more likely inside receiver that will be set in-motion often, Williams might be ranked high but he’s not a fit in every offense.

Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: Marvin Mims

Quick Report: A slightly undersized receiver but might meet the floor for outside work. Fast but a step below game-breaking. Bell is quick and energetic but keeps everything composed and controlled in his movements. He’s at his best with the ball in his hands and able to stop/start, juke and burst into space. He’s a natural at working defenders on to their heels. Can make good adjustments to off-target throws and provides good hands to the ball. The risk is that Bell seems to always just come up short from something special - just short of special speed, or movement, or range etc. The floor is a bit lower than you’d like.

Round Value: 2-3
Player Comparison: Rashee Rice

Quick Report: Really easy to like because everything looks easy. Simple catcher of the football with soft hands that grab and tuck the ball smoothly. Has good body control and lots of rubbery flexibility to make contortions to adjust to the ball. Has very quick movements in short areas, with quick stabbing feet and stop-on-a-dime change of direction skills. Can cut a route quickly and is a precise mover. Timing to snap off routes is good, is where he should be on time. Has a great YAC attitude with a slashing RB style, executing lots of quick jump cuts and making himself skinny to slice through gaps or roll off an attacking defender. Ideal size for the position with ready bulk to absorb hits.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: DJ Chark

Quick Report: Tall, lean, stringy but strong like a modern NBA Point Guard (SGA). Short arms the ball a lot and hands don't go out to meet the ball fully or with softness. Sometimes hands feel like paddles trying to clap the ball, or oven mitts. Traps the ball against him instead too often. Physical at the Point of Attack and a jump ball winner but relies on too much shoving. Great burst and athleticism and elastic body movement but Brazzell is a bit wild and uncoordinated in his movements which disrupts his timing. Route running is a bit rounded and sloppy, or has unnecessary moves throughout but this can be refined with time. Brazzell is a low-floor, super high-ceiling prospect that is pure boom/bust. George Pickens outlook if you squint hard and ignore some red flags with his movement and hands/coordination.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Michael Pittman Jr.

Quick Report: Big trunked, long limbed receiver missing tempo and flash. Boston is a steady mover without nuance that has buildup speed instead of burst. He wins with timing, shielding and top tier contested catch skills. His bigger build and physical ability will have teams dreaming on him as an Alshon Jeffery type outside alpha but I’m worried about him consistently shedding corners and being at a spot on time without a DB hounding him. He has that current risk of DB’s staying in his pocket for too long through longer routes. His bendiness and control are plus though and there’s an outside receiver here who could surpass my expectations.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Romeo Doubs

Quick Report: Stribling with a bit of cushion is outstanding. He chews up vertical space hard with his release and puts DB’s on their heels. He can break off short routes quickly and has quick feet. His ball-tracking is great and he’s good at contorting to get behind off-target throws. His hands are average, he presents them but let’s the ball impact them and doesn’t have the soft reach-and-pluck you’d like. With a defender pressing him he’s a bit lost, with the same foot-stabbing moves and then an attempt to attack around a shoulder which makes him slow and DBs don’t struggle to match him. He’s got an ideal frame and knows how to throw it around at the catch point to try and box-out defenders. Because of this he was trusted with a lot of back shoulder throws. He needs to work on gearing down when at full speed and breaking in routes. His work on more free releases, combined with his frame, body control and RAC ability make him a player with a high ceiling, albeit a lower floor too. Anything from Xavier Hutchinson to Puka Nacua if everything clicks.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Wan’Dale Robinson

Quick Report: So quick off the line, with rapid feet that move at a rapid tempo. Change of direction and quickness in cuts are tops as he can stop/start on a dime. Diminutive with a smaller catch radius which limits his ceiling greatly and his frame is thinner overall. Willing to make the catch in traffic and use RAC skills amongst bigger bodies showing courage and toughness. Quicker than fast with smaller steps, his top gear isn't great enough to be a vertical route runner. Free release slot menace.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Tank Dell

Quick Report: He’s going to be an inside first receiver, but his speed and box of moves off the line will allow him to win outside too. Allen is smaller than you’d like but has good extension and body control to try and expand his radius. Hands are good not great, partly because he has to work harder for passes slightly off. His speed truly stretches the field and pulls defenses apart, and he doesn’t get caught once a DB is trailing. He knows speed is his weapon and so he uses hesitations, tempo shifts and fakes to win on routes. A lot of his work in Cinci was on longer developing routes from the slot, and because of his use of speed shifts and hesitations it takes longer for him to get to a spot for his Quarterback. He might not fit every offense but one that wants to exploit holes in zones in the intermediate part of the field, or hit big plays from the slot will absolutely love him. He has all the physical traits to be developed in to a demon slot receiver.

Round Value: 3
Player Comparison: Stevie Johnson

Quick Report: Quick, rapid feet and a high-effort mover with short area juice. Sarratt has moves and wiggle to shake defenders off the line and can snap his hips at the break and change direction easily. Bigger and more physical than you would expect and is happy to stiff arm or lower a shoulder into a smaller DB. Needs to drift a little less through longer routes and keep things more angular to maximize separation. The style of receiver Sarratt is is heavily dependent on nuance and dedication to the craft to become a Juju or Stevie Johnson vs a functional Zay Jones or worse, sliding out of the NFL.

Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Tre Tucker

Quick Report: Sharp, crisp and fast. Rivers is a threat for his good straightline speed, and college DBs often gave him extra cushion because of it. Rivers chews up vertical space quickly and can setup simple routes off of this for comebacks, curls, hitches etc. Loose coverage in crossing routes will let Rivers get explosive gains. Rivers is a bit upright and stiff hipped so there isn’t a lot of dynamic stop-start, sinking or lateral cuts to his game. But he can cut off routes crisply and be efficient in getting separation at the top of routes. It’s hard to know whether this is the ceiling for Rivers or if an NFL offense can unlock another level to his game and push him to Darnell Mooney territory or more.

Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Mack Hollins

Quick Report: Rocked up and physical build with taut and springy movements. He’s a tad stiff overall thanks to his thicker build and muscle density, but has surprising agility and bounce at times. He can make really sharp movements and sinks well in breaks and cuts and pops out of them. Long arms and decent hands make his radius bigger than expected. Long speed is average, at least in his play speed, as he doesn’t pull away from DBs easily on longer routes. There is some rawness here, a reliance on strength and athleticism over nuance, and some short-arming on film. Otherwise this is an alpha type receiver with an attitude who might take a second to get going in the NFL but the ceiling could be really high if he buys in.

Round Value: 3-4
Player Comparison: Donovan Peoples-Jones

Quick Report: A difficult evaluation with a huge boom/bust profile considering the level of competition he routinely faced. Hurst has good height with long limbs and a slightly skinny distribution. He has smooth long speed and a good effortless stride but he’s missing great acceleration in his get-off and crispness in his feet. He’s a bit simple in his routes and relies on speed and getting around a DB’s shoulder and going from there. His moves off the line are ineffective and generally exist to lull cornerbacks. His tracking, long arms, body control and hand are all excellent. Between the smooth stride, tracking and mitts there’s a big play receiver here with some free releases to get him going.

Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Marquess Wilson

Quick Report: The hands are sublime. Huge mitts that flash up and softly take the ball out of the hair. Long strong arms that are well-coordinated. Lane has some good spring in the short area but is definitely a big glider with build-up speed. He fights hard with the ball but he doesn’t have the juice to breakaway for RAC and gets tangled and pulled down quickly. Lack of vertical drive means DBs don’t have to sit on heels much, so he does a lot of trailing routes or hitches where be boxes out. Traditional big outside receiver and red zone weapon with possession traits. You love the hands, body control and fit but always be wary of receivers who can’t show themselves open and take too much time to get there.

Round Value: 4
Player Comparison: Calvin Austin

Quick Report: A small jitterbug slot-type receiver with quick feet. Branch has been used primarily in the short game, on quick-hitters and screens where his quickness and elusiveness allows him to evade free defenders. This, and his return game, shows his courage with the ball. He has instant acceleration and great long speed to pull the field apart. He’ll be an immediate contributor as a returner and movable receiving in multiple-WR sets. He’ll thrive in quick hitters or longer developing routes where he can pull apart zone defenses. Physical cornerbacks will harass him and suffocate him at the catch point downfield. His smaller radius will also make deep-intermediate throws tougher to hit.

Round Value: 4-5
Player Comparison: Keon Coleman

Quick Report: A superb athlete that is a man-amongst-boys a ripped physique. Fields is taut and immensely strong in his 6’4 frame. He has decent long speed, able to glide with enough to keep an average DB at arms length. Otherwise his movement ability is below-average when it comes to change of direction, burst and crisp executions. He almost looks like he’s faking it out there, with his sells fakes and cuts looking like a practice rep. Has the coordination and length to increase his radius to massive proportions and average hands and coordination help him corral passes. A catch-point winner, he times passes well and bullies smaller corners. I don’t trust him as a higher-tier receiver because of his inability to move quick enough through the short and intermediate phases ala N’Keal Harry.

Round Value: 4-5
Player Comparison: Chase Claypool

Quick Report: A tough evaluation. Louisville gave him lots of free releases, crossing routes and comeback routes where he could use his build-up speed and huge frame to position himself in front of defenders. Has bigtime speed/power once he’s underway. Is stiff and moves with high-effort through routes. A monster with the ball in his hands he is ideal for slants and bubble screens.

Round Value: 4-5
Player Comparison: Dontayvion Wicks

Quick Report: Doesn’t move with the snap and acceleration I expected. Is a bit upright in his chest and sluggish going vertical. Doesn’t explode through his legs and has a bit of running in sand look when a defender has their hands on him. Flashes good hands to the ball and looks natural hands-catching. Frame is a bit thick but he can extend to his maximum to bring in off-target throws. Has a natural and smooth way of moving through routes.

Round Value: 5
Player Comparison: Roscoe Parrish

Quick Report: He’s tiny, in fact he’s so tiny I’d want to give him a UDFA grade. One hit on a hospital ball and he’ll be out for a season. He’s going to get eaten up by traffic and unable to muscle through a cornerback to get to a ball. But that’s not why you acquire Thompson. He exists to be an extra piece in an offense to unlock a couple big plays a year, or pull a defense apart for your other playmakers. Like Tutu Atwell with the Rams. Thompson has good positioning on incoming passes and the body control to adjust but he really needs to focus on the ball to bring it in which slows him a bit. The catch radius is miniscule too. You’d like to see more mix-up with tempo and quickness in how he runs routes to really sell DBs.

Round Value: 5-6
Player Comparison: Robert Foster

Quick Report: Your kneejerk reaction to McAlister might be Alec Pierce, but it feels pretty far off right now. McAlister has a highlight reel of big plays but most are RAC plays on quick hitters, or go routes. He’s a stiff hipped but loose-limbed (confusing) mover without much composure and fluidity. He’s not going to break off routes or find exact spots in routes. He’s built big and plays bigger and has a powerful sort of speed that imposes itself on downfield routes. But that’s about the extent of things. He body catches and his catch radius is smaller than it should be thanks to his stiff midsection. There is some Gabriel Davis appeal here as a sporadic playmaker with limited targets in an offense, but it’s going to take some seasoning to get there.
