1. Quentin Johnston, TCU

BIG BOARD RANK: 8

It's all there. Johnston has every uncoachable physical tool.

2. Jordan Addison, USC

BIG BOARD RANK: 17

Addison has one of the higher floors among receivers in the draft class due to his blend of route-running chops and all-around athleticism.

3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State

BIG BOARD RANK: 20

If you don't have a well-defined slot role in your offense, JSN isn't worth a first-rounder. If you do, he should be your WR1.

4. Zay Flowers, Boston College

BIG BOARD RANK: 22

You want to add dynamism to your offense? Flowers is your guy.

5. Tank Dell, Houston

BIG BOARD RANK: 37

Everyone is looking for speed and separation ability nowadays, and Dell ticks those boxes. Just know he comes with certain role limitations.

6. Josh Downs, North Carolina

BIG BOARD RANK: 40

Downs ticks a lot of the boxes for an old-school slot receiver, but the days of tiny slot-only receivers are in the past for most offenses.

7. Kayshon Boutte, LSU

BIG BOARD RANK: 56

 

8. Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee

BIG BOARD RANK: 68

Hyatt's speed is NFL-ready, but the rest of his tape shows a project as a route-runner.

9. Michael Wilson, Stanford

BIG BOARD RANK: 76

 

10. Rashee Rice, SMU

BIG BOARD RANK: 81

While Rice's high-end is debatable, he has a high floor and is one of the more NFL-ready receivers in the class.
