Six WRs came off the board in the 1st round on Thursday night - and a record-tying 17 WRs went in the first 3 rounds. This group plus Tua's mediocre rookie performance has me tempering my expectations a bit for 2021, as much as I do love Waddle's upside. Brandin Cooks' contract will keep him around for at least two seasons, and Nico Collins' is purely a Round 3 projection. Wentz's contract has $0 guaranteed after this year, and McLaurin could be a trade candidate if he asks for too much money. While teams will ostensibly overvalue players at the position, every quarterback in this years crop has major question marks. The 21-year-old had 96th percentile adjusted production on 96th percentile yards per team pass attempt. 121 run-blocking OL. Perhaps the most intriguing QB prospect this season is Desmond Ridder. The perceived gap between Sam Howell, Spencer Rattler, and Kedon Slovis has closed considerably.

If not for a torn ACL in the National Championship, Williams couldve been labeled as the top receiver in this loaded draft class.

Chris Olave (WR Ohio State) Of the three, Hall has the most complete skill set despite lacking the top-end upside of both Najee Harris and Javonte Williams. Rondale Moore (WR Purdue) He is a fantastic athlete with incredible burst (4.38 forty), jumping ability (123 broad), and massive hands (9 7/8 inches). It doesn't get much better than that, assuming Rodgers doesn't retire early despite signing a massive contract that keeps him around until 2026 on paper. He only handled more than 144 carries in one season at SDSU (240-1,673-18 last year). He had a 32% yardage share as a redshirt senior, operating as a schemed touch and vertical threat No. 2. JaMarr Chase is the player everyone has pegged as a player who could become the best receiver in football, but Jaylen Waddle, Rashod Bateman, Devonta Smith, and even Rondale Moore could all work their way into the top-10 in time.

He faced press as an X receiver only on occasion but handled it very well, averaging 3.6 yards per route run versus man coverage in 2021 with 20 receptions on 37 routes as the isolated receiver. Tamorrion Terry (WR Florida State) Pickens can win at all three levels and faced a ton of press man coverage in the SEC with mixed results because he invites contact (leading to some on-field brawls and wild blocks), but he has my ball mentality in the air and fights for yards after the catch underneath. Dotson will be an asset in the schemed touch game (backfield opportunities and screens) a la Darnell Mooney, but he could fade against more physical corners. Hes currently a vertical route and jump ball specialist, but he can sink his hips, so a full route tree is at least possible long term.

That gives him plenty of upside if his elusiveness comes back post-surgeries. Out of this group, Id feel comfortable with all but Wilson being a relevant fantasy option. He's a contested catch player who plays bigger than his size and has above-average ball tracking. He is undersized (511/195) and was often subbed in on passing downs, leading to 27 receptions without a single drop per Sports Info Solutions as a senior.

My full Malik Willis column is here. 2 target for an aggressive passing offense. This isn't against small schools either. Tolbert only is a 44th percentile adjusted SPARQ athlete, however, with 4.49 speed and below-average agility. Like Chase, his status as a top dynasty option is set right now.

Tolbert, unfortunately a 23-year-old prospect, will compete for X & Z receiver snaps in 3-WR sets in the NFL as a downfield threat (career 17.6 YPR).

Walker led college football with 89 missed tackles forced per PFF (0.34 per carry) with 4.5 yards after contact, the best in the class.

He had 52nd percentile adjusted SPARQ athleticism (4.53 forty), largely buoyed by his size.

The second round could have some sneaky value, so if you can pry a second round pick from a team that projects to be near the bottom of the standings, a deal should be considered.
