WIDE RECEIVER

Pros: Consistent, route running, break tackle, 

​

Cons: Body catcher 

​

Archetype: Route Runner

​

Comparison: Amon Ra St Brown

​

Scouting Report: Ohio State just won the national championship and Emeka Egbuka is one of the reasons why. He is a versatile WR that is able to line up all over the field. He demonstrates a good football IQ with his understanding of route running concepts. He has good speed and accelerations and is able to separate at a consistent level. He is excellent at the release and demonstrates good reliable hands. He does have a bad habit of body catching and has yet to show the ability to go up and get a ball. Not a deep threat WR. I loved his tape and add on the fact he has the intangibles you look for in a locker room presence, he is sure to be drafted sooner rather than later. Right now I have him as my WR 1 in this class.

Pros: Speed, separation, low drop rate

​

Cons: Age? Body catcher, weight

​

Archetype: Slot

​

Comparison: Tank Dell

​

Scouting Report: Tez Johnson is electrifying every time his hands touch the ball. His blazing speed and catching ability make him a tough receiver to contain. He has good route running which creates separation and high IQ plays make him a smart player too. He is very light and will have to gain some weight at the NFL level, which brings up durability and injury concerns as well. He will be 23 as a rookie, but I think you’re getting a high floor prospect because of experience and maturity. He will get overlooked because he is a small slot receiver, but I have Tez as my WR2, a 1st round grade, and making an early impact on whatever team he plays for.

​Pros: Good size, good long speed, leaping ability

​

Cons: Drops, break tackles, injury 

​

Archetype: Physical 

​

Comparison: AJ Brown

​

Scouting Report: Is Tre Harris the next best WR to come out of Ole miss since DK Metcalf and AJ Brown?! Watching his film definitely gives off more AJ Brown vibes. Big thick frame, good long speed that he uses to get behind the defenses, shows great athletic ability, and overall route running/and release techniques that get him open. He does struggle with drops, fails to break the 1st tackle more than you would like to see with a big body type receiver, and had a season ending injury that could hold him up for a while. Overall I like Tre Harris and think he has a good chance to make a name for himself in the league if he can stay healthy. 

​​Pros: Catch radius, strong hands, body control

​

Cons: Eye on ball discipline 

​

Archetype: Physical 

​

Comparison: Mike Evans 

 

Scouting Report: Tetairoa McMillan is a tall lengthy receiver with great ball skills, polished route running, and demonstrates excellent body control. He had a great statistical season and showcased himself as one of the premier wideouts this year. I watched two games and both showed very different sides of the same coin. Against Kansas State he was able to have a field day, making spectacular catches look easy. Against Colorado (namely Travis Hunter), he looked lost, couldn’t gain any separation, and was held in check for only 5 catches and 38 yards. His biggest knocks will be can he separate? A high number of drops and how fast is he? McMillan is more of a strider and has a hard time getting up to full speed and even if he does often fail to blow by people. A wide receiver with his height, catching, and leaping ability will surely give his NFL OC an advantage against smaller DBs. I like Tetairoa Mcmillan, great player and even better person off the field, but those concerns hold him back from being an elite top 10 guy

Pros: Athletic Freak, versatile, good speed, balance, break tackle

​

Cons: Drops, unpolished route running

​

Archetype: Physcial  

​

Comparison: Mike Williams size + Cordarrelle Patterson Skillset

​

Scouting Report: Savion Williams might be the most athletically gifted WR in this year's class. He is 6”5, 225lbs and can run past defenders. He is an aggressive runner who fights for extra yards, and is able to line up all over the field as a versatile WR/RB hybrid. He is a high charater guy who stuck with his program for his whole career which I value greatly. His biggest knocks will be his high number of dropped passes and he can always clean up his route running, since he seemed in the wrong area at times when the QB threw the ball. Ultimately he is a project WR with major upside. If he can show consistent hands, OCs in the NFL will want to get their hands on him as a high ceiling prospect. A late first Round in my grading process.

Pros: Route technician, Body Control, catching

​

Cons: average speed, durability, age?

​

Archetype: Slot 

​

Comparison: Diontae Johnson 

​

Scouting Report: Xavier Restrepo played all 5 years at Miami, which in the age of the transfer portal is a huge nod of respect from me. He is a route technician, who is able to create enough separation to get open in the small to immediate areas of the field. He also has good reliable hands, and demonstrates body control when going up for a ball. He isn’t slow by any means, but he lacks the explosive acceleration you would like to see at the next level. He has some slight injury concerns and will be 23 when he is drafted. High floor player that I think can make an impact on an NFL roster, won’t blow you away with crazy plays, but plays with consistency every snap.
