Wide Receivers

WR1: Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

Tet McMillan is a productive big-bodied receiver with strong hands and a well-rounded game. He excels at creating separation through tempo, pacing his releases effectively and sinking his weight to snap off routes with control. McMillan consistently wins at the catch point with his size, ball skills, and reliable hands, making him a trusted target in contested situations. His post-catch ability is impressive for his frame—he’s tough to bring down and flashes solid vision and burst after the catch. While not an explosive mover or true burner, McMillan plays fast enough to be a vertical threat, especially when matched against press-man coverage. He shows good strength at the top of routes and in RAC situations, but for his size, he’s a below-average blocker and doesn’t play with urgency off the snap. Tet doesn’t have the elite speed or twitch to be considered a blue-chip prospect, but his consistent production and solid physical traits make him a reliable, high-floor option as a boundary receiver.

Grade: Round 1

WR2: Travis Hunter, Colorado

Travis Hunter is a rare athlete with unreal body control, ball skills, and natural hands that make him one of the most dangerous weapons in the draft. His ability to track the ball and come down with contested catches is special. He flashes excellent burst and long speed, which shows up most when attacking downfield or creating after the catch. While he’s dangerous on vertical routes, his release package and route polish are still developing—he can struggle to separate early in the route and occasionally gets caught in traffic on crossers and drags. He also has a tendency to slow down on in-breaking routes, which limits his ability to create consistent separation underneath. He’s not a physical presence as a blocker or after the catch, but the upside as a dynamic playmaker is evident. With refinement to his route running and more nuance in his releases, Hunter has legitimate WR1 upside thanks to his generational athletic talent and explosive traits.

Grade: Round 1

WR3: Jayden Higgins, Iowa State

Jayden Higgins is a big-bodied outside receiver who combines size, route efficiency, and physicality to win on the perimeter. He flashes quick feet and twitch off the line, allowing him to beat press coverage and create early separation. His routes are clean and well-timed, and he consistently positions himself to make contested catches. Downfield, Higgins displays solid ball tracking and body control, making him a reliable vertical threat. However, his hands can be inconsistent—he occasionally lets the ball into his body, which limits reliability in tight windows. After the catch, he doesn't offer much due to average burst and creativity in space. As a blocker though, he stands out. Higgins is physical, disciplined, and consistently effective. Overall, Higgins profiles as a dependable target with upside in vertical and possession-based roles.

Grade: Round 2

WR4: Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State

Emeka Egbuka is a smooth, well-rounded receiver with the traits to thrive as a high-end No. 2 in the NFL. He’s a refined route runner with quick feet, good timing, and the burst to create separation—especially from the slot or as a Z. His speed shows up on crossers and deep routes, though he doesn’t consistently win as a vertical threat due to average play strength and lack of physicality. Egbuka is reliable with solid hands and excellent ball tracking, showing strong body control at the catch point. After the catch, he’s a good mover with enough burst to generate yards in space. That said, he struggles against physical corners and can be disrupted when tied up in the route. Despite solid effort, his blocking is also underwhelming and needs to be more consistent. Egbuka profiles as a reliable starter at the next level, best utilized in space where his route running and quickness can shine.

Grade: Round 2

WR5: Savion Williams, TCU

Savion Williams is a raw but physically gifted receiver with impressive tools and exciting upside. Williams exhibits elite size, play speed, and explosiveness that immediately pop on tape. He flashes strong ball skills, consistently adjusting to off target throws and showing the ability to make tough grabs. While his hands can be inconsistent—often relying on his body to secure catches—his ability to win vertically is intriguing, even if it appears more in flashes than consistency right now. Williams is dangerous with the ball in his hands, showing strong run-after-catch ability and impressive versatility in how he was used at TCU. However, he remains a work in progress. His release package is underdeveloped, his route running lacks polish, and he can struggle to separate against tight coverage. As a blocker, he’s willing but inconsistent. Overall, Williams is an unfinished product, but his athletic profile, strength, and upside as a vertical threat give him sky-high potential. If he can become a more refined route runner and technician, he has the traits to develop into a high-level offensive threat.

Grade: Round 2

WR6: Luther Burden, Missouri

Luther Burden is a dynamic receiver with exceptional athletic traits that make him a threat at every level of the field. His long speed and ball skills allow him to stretch the defense and consistently make plays downfield, projecting as a high-impact vertical threat. Burden’s ability to generate yards after the catch is impressive, and his change-of-direction speed makes him a dangerous weapon in space. While his natural gifts are undeniable, Burden’s route running needs refinement. He often struggles to create separation due to an underdeveloped release and lack of explosiveness when running the route tree. Additionally, his lack of physicality and play strength shows up on film. Burden projects as a mix of gadget player and vertical threat, but with his solid hands and speed, he has the potential to become a more complete receiver with time. If he can improve his route running and become a more consistent separator, he could evolve into a versatile weapon in any offense.

Grade: Round 2

WR7: Matthew Golden, Texas

Matthew Golden is an athletic receiver with excellent ball skills and solid route running. He flashes impressive leaping ability and body control, consistently making tough grabs downfield. His combination of quickness and fluidity allows him to create separation, particularly on intermediate and vertical routes. Golden has solid speed and shows some great flashes of creativity after the catch, though he’s more of a straight-line runner than a true RAC specialist. Despite his natural receiving talent, Golden’s college production was inconsistent—partly due to factors beyond his control—but he’ll need to build on his recent momentum and continue refining his game to thrive in the NFL. He can struggle against physical corners who disrupt him early in routes, and occasional concentration drops still show up on tape. His blocking effort is also inconsistent and will need to improve. Still, with his ball skills and explosiveness, Golden projects as a reliable outside receiver with vertical upside and room to grow into a more consistent weapon at the next level.

Grade: Round 2

WR8: Tre Harris, Ole Miss

Tre Harris is a physically imposing receiver with a strong frame and reliable ball skills who finds ways to make plays despite operating within a limited route tree. His size and strength make him effective at the catch point, where he can secure tough grabs downfield. He shows solid instincts working through contact and flashes the traits of a true X receiver at the next level. While Harris has the physical tools to win on the outside, his lack of elite speed and explosiveness cap his upside as a vertical or RAC threat. He’s not a dynamic mover in space, and his burst out of breaks is average. Part of his limited route development stems from Ole Miss’ simplified offensive system, but he’ll need to expand his route tree and sharpen his releases to thrive in the league. Overall, Harris’ size, strength, and ball skills give him a solid floor as a possession receiver, with the potential to grow into a reliable vertical threat if he can refine his route tree and become a more consistent separator.

Grade: Round 3

WR9: Jack Bech, TCU

Jack Bech is a strong, technically refined receiver who wins with polished route running and reliable hands. Bech creates separation with sharp footwork and an advanced feel for attacking against zone coverage. His strength shows up at the catch point, where he consistently wins through contact and secures contested grabs. While not the most athletic or explosive player, Bech flashes burst and physicality after the catch to add great value in the open field. However, his lack of top-end speed and vertical explosiveness limits his ability to stretch the field or consistently separate against man coverage, particularly versus faster, more physical corners. His release can also be inconsistent and will need continued development to beat press at the next level. Still, Bech’s combination of strong hands, size, and route running makes him a reliable possession target with starting potential in the right system.

Grade: Round 3

WR10: Jaylin Noel, Iowa State

Jaylin Noel is an explosive, high-speed receiver who excels as a vertical threat. His quick acceleration and straight-line speed allow him to consistently stack defensive backs and generate separation, making him a natural fit as a slot or Z receiver in a spread or vertical-based offense. His movement skills stand out on tape, with great agility and burst that help him quickly eat up cushion and threaten defenses deep. That said, Noel’s game has its limitations. His hands can be inconsistent, with occasional drops raising questions about his reliability, and his smaller frame limits his effectiveness in contested catch situations. His route tree is still developing, often relying more on his quick change-of-direction ability than on refined footwork. Despite this, Noel puts in solid effort as a blocker and shows potential to improve with time. Noel projects as a dynamic complementary piece capable of changing the pace of an offense, but he’ll need to improve his consistency in certain areas to become a more well-rounded receiver.

Grade: Round 3

WR11: Kyle Williams, Washington State

Kyle Williams is a well-rounded receiver with inside-outside versatility and solid production. He shows good long speed, sharp instincts, and strong footwork—particularly in his release package, where he consistently wins early in routes. Williams also stays on his route path through contact thanks to his functional strength and balance. He’s a dangerous weapon after the catch, with the vision and burst to consistently generate extra yards in space. While there are no glaring weaknesses, his lighter frame limits his play strength, and his blocking effort can be inconsistent. Still, he lacks a standout trait that would elevate him into a higher tier of receiver prospect. Williams is a dependable, polished receiver with starting potential and the skill set to contribute early in the right system—even if his ceiling isn’t especially high.

Grade: Round 4

WR12: Pat Bryant, Illinois

Pat Bryant is a well-rounded X-receiver with the physical profile and baseline traits to contribute on the outside. He shows natural instincts after the catch and does a nice job adjusting his body to make difficult grabs, displaying strong ball skills. His quick and consistent release helps him get into his routes cleanly, and his size and strength allow him to compete through contact and hold his own as a perimeter blocker. However, Bryant lacks true long speed and top-tier explosiveness, which limits his ability to consistently separate or win vertically. While his hands are solid overall, he needs to improve at consistently catching away from his frame instead of letting the ball into his body. While he may never be a game-breaking athlete, Bryant projects as a solid, physical wideout who can fill a complementary role with continued development.

Grade: Round 4

WR13: Isaiah Bond, Texas

Isaiah Bond is an undersized but explosive receiver with impressive top-end speed and quickness. He flashes above-average separation ability and shows solid hands and ball skills downfield. While his play speed makes him a legitimate vertical threat, his lack of size and strength limits him in contested catch situations and when facing physical coverage. Bond struggles to consistently drop his weight and sink at the top of routes, which limits his overall route polish. Despite his speed, his run-after-catch ability is somewhat underwhelming. His blocking effort is minimal, and his small frame likely restricts him to a finesse-based role at the next level. Still, Bond’s vertical ability and speed give him upside as a solid complementary weapon in the right offensive system.

Grade: Round 5

WR14: Jalen Royals, Utah State

Jalen Royals is a receiver with solid speed and flashes of impressive ball skills. He has shown the ability to make big plays and displays good instincts in space, but his consistency is a concern. Royals has the tools to be a vertical threat or RAC weapon, with solid ball skills and athleticism. However, he struggles to create separation, particularly against physical man coverage, often getting jammed and losing his route path. His route running lacks nuance, and his release is predictable, typically relying on a shoulder dip or straight-line speed for deeper routes. Royals' lack of twitchiness and strength limits his ability to break free from defenders and run precise routes. His hands are inconsistent, with drop issues, and he sometimes lacks the effort needed to stay focused. Overall, Royals is a developmental prospect with a lot of raw potential but significant questions about his long-term upside due to his route running and physical limitations.

Grade: Round 5

WR15: Ricky White III, UNLV

Ricky White is a receiver with the potential to be a reliable run-after-catch weapon in the slot at the next level, either as a backup or low-end starter. He has the strength and quick release to shed defenders and get off the line cleanly, and his speed allows him to make plays in space. While his ball skills and separation ability need improvement, White’s RAC ability gives him value in a system that focuses on short-to-intermediate routes and quick-hitting passes. He lacks the vertical threat potential and route-running consistency to project as an outside receiver and struggles to consistently create separation downfield. Overall, White’s best value lies in his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands and thrive on quick concepts.

Grade: Round 5

WR16: Xavier Restrepo, Miami

Xavier Restrepo is a slot receiver with solid hands and ball skills, as well as decent speed. While he’s not the most athletic or explosive player, his functional quickness allows him to separate on short, quick concepts or crossing routes. Restrepo’s release and route running could use improvement, especially when facing more physical coverage. Despite his lack of top-end speed and strength, he is a dependable option in the slot with solid run-after-catch ability. He also stands out as a blocker, often providing solid effort despite his smaller frame. Overall, Restrepo projects as a slot receiver who can contribute to a team’s short-to-intermediate passing game, though his limitations in size, athleticism, and route running will likely cap his upside.

Grade: Round 5

WR17: Kobe Hudson, UCF

Kobe Hudson is a solid receiver who excels at creating separation with smooth route running and good hands to secure catches. His ability to catch with his hands is a positive trait, but his catch radius and ability to win contested catches are average at best. While he’s reliable in short-to-intermediate routes, his long speed is lacking, which limits his ability to stretch the field. His run-after-catch ability is underwhelming, and his blocking effort doesn’t stand out. There aren’t major weaknesses in his game that would severely affect his draft stock, but his skill set likely limits him to being a backup or role player in the league. Overall, Hudson has potential as a well-rounded option in the right system but doesn’t offer much upside as a high-level contributor.

Grade: Round 5

WR18: Kaden Prather, Maryland

Kaden Prather is a receiver with great size for the NFL and impressive ball skills, which allow him to make plays in contested situations and adjust to different ball placements. He has good hands and shows a solid release off the line of scrimmage, using his initial burst to create separation. However, his explosiveness and overall athleticism are below average, limiting his ability to make dynamic plays after the catch. His run-after-catch ability is a significant weakness, and he struggles to generate yardage in space. Additionally, his blocking effort is inconsistent, and there are stretches of games where he disappears from the offense. While Prather has the physical traits to be a dependable target, his lack of RAC ability, blocking consistency, and overall explosiveness raise concerns about his upside at the next level.

Grade: Round 5

WR19: Elic Ayomanor, Stanford

Elic Ayomanor is a receiver who projects best as a big slot due to his size and decent athleticism, though he struggles to consistently create separation. He has adequate play speed and some functional quickness, but his lack of explosiveness and inconsistent route running make it difficult for him to consistently win on the outside. Ayomanor is a body catcher with notable drop issues, which significantly hurt his reliability in contested situations. His ball skills and vertical ability flash on occasion but are generally average, and he doesn't display natural hands. However, he is a strong and willing blocker—his best trait on tape—and adds real value in that area. While his overall polish and consistency as a pass catcher are limited, his size, decent speed, and blocking effort give him potential as a big slot or even a developmental outside receiver in a system that values physicality and effort.

Grade: Round 6

WR20: Antwane Wells Jr, Ole Miss

Antwane Wells is a well-built receiver who flashes the tools to be a reliable vertical option. He has solid hands and ball skills, and his strength allows him to fight through contact and stay on his route path, especially against physical defenders. His play speed is functional, and when given a clean release, he can threaten vertically. However, Wells struggles to separate consistently due to a limited and unrefined route tree. He lacks the suddenness and explosiveness needed to manipulate defenders and create space underneath. Additionally, he offers very little after the catch, and he doesn't consistently create extra yardage once the ball is in his hands. While not a dynamic athlete, Wells brings enough size, strength, and baseline receiving skills to potentially stick as a depth piece or rotational wideout if he can become more consistent as a route runner.
