Let's take a look at our rookie WR options
Hey all! I wanted to take a look at some of the top guys from nfldraftbuzz.com. I have some decent knowledge on these prospects but by no means expertise.
Some things to get out of the way: We don't need a slot guy, and we should prefer a true X receiver. Size is nice, but also not the most important thing: i.e. QJ is tall but he's trash at X and really only finds success in designed plays and hitch/crossing routes as a Z.
So let's look for some X receivers in this somewhat bad WR class. I think there are a few guys that could become quality but not dominant X receivers on our offense which likely need some development. Thankfully, most of these dudes will go in the 2-4th round. I don't have any interest in spending our first on a WR, mostly because the only potential dudes left at our pick are either slot, Z's, or overpays.
I'll list out my top 5 and you all can take a look at them and see if you like them for our team next year. I really hope we take a shot on a young talented dude in the 2-3rd round.
Tre Harris. Look at his dominant stats on a per game basis. He rips defenses apart and has a very high quality YPC. His injury stopped him from having a 1600+ yard season. He honestly probably doesn't make it to our mid 2nd so it's a pipe dream to get him.
Jayden Higgins. He is huge AF and has a great catch radius. His hands are solid.
Jalen Royals. He isn't huge but he manages to be an excellent deep threat regardless. He's the opposite of QJ. He doesn't have the physical attributes that typically help X receivers but he has that dawg in him and goes up and high points everything.
Jack Bech. He's been appearing better lately. Player well in senior bowl. Seems well rounded. Kinda slow.
Savion Williams or Elic ayomanor
