Get your daily dose!

1. Trevor  Lawrence Big body, tall.   Confident. Very strong and capable runner. Throws with conviction, doesn't   throw stupid balls. High point of release. Not super accurate, often had his  WRs go to the ground to make the play or step off their route. Can get jumpy  when he's sitting in the pocket. Played with an all star cast in ETN, Justyn Ross, Tee Hggins, and a solid OL. Ran a complicated offense and could work   through his options quickly.    

2. Justin Fields Above   average size for a quarterback and very athletic. Not the best vision as a   runner in space but very good at juking last second in the pocket when he's   waited too long. Not the best pocket awareness and bailed himself out a lot   by making quick moves and taking off. I doubt this would have been as   effective in SEC competition. Great deep thrower. Can make tight throws over   the middle, can make throws over the top. Good at dumping off. Seems to only   hit wide open targets unless its a go route. Not great at throwing on the   run. He is always making simple moves that buy him loads of time against pass   rushers that I don't see possible in other conferences. Very cool   personality, seems calm enough to succeed at the next level.   

3. Zach Wilson Can make very impressive throws. Strikes across the middle, high point balls on   the outside, underhand shovel throws up the middle, darts to the first down   markers, accurate throws on the run.. He has some seemingly dominant WRs   catching his long passes. Hard to tell if they are good at positioning   themselves, or if Wilson is putting it right where it needs to be, or if the   competition is too weak. Quick release - looks like he snaps it out of his   arm. Capable legs. Flashy/risky. Confident but not relaxed. Could work for or   against him.    

5. Trey Lance A lot of his college success   needs to be credited to his physical ability. He could shed tackles and make   a play downfield or take off on the run. Talented runner and big enough body   to take hits without immediately going down. Not the most accurate thrower   but has a strong arm. His WRs weren't great but neither were the defenses he   played. Wish we had some SEC tape but he clearly didn't belong in the   Missouri Valley Conference. Josh Allen upside.  

 6. Julian Newman Only throws perfect spirals.   Looks like Cam Newtown when he's throwing. High realease and does his best on   short routes over the middle. Legitimate dual threat. Better with dart throws   than deep balls or anything over the top. Would have been fun to see him at   Georgia with a good line and WRs. Not great at sensing pressure and knowing how to find extra time in the back. Questionable decision making under pressure in that he will still try to make a play. 

7. Kyle Trask Good arm. Puts the ball where it needs to be. Has good touch passes and can drop it in the basket and then turn around a make a dart pass next. Looks like a near-retired Roethlisberger.

1. Najee Harris Beast. Big body   and very strong. Good balance when he runs in traffic. Fast enough to slash   and can demonstrate patience. Knows to run north at basically all times. Can   seemingly do it all. Sometimes waits for the hole to be completely open and   therefore a little late. Looks like an NFL player.   

2. Travis Ettiene Runs like an absolute maniac.   Seems like he is faster than he would be timed. Can brake, cut, accelerate, and dodge   quicker than a lot of people. All he does is produce. An electric and   unorthodox player. Great receiver. Funny personality, humble. Running motion   looks strange but he has elite top speed. Not super strong but can manage his   way out of tackles.   

3. Javonte Williams Reminds me of a smaller, faster Leonard Fournette. Runs angry and is hard to take down.   Constantly stiff arming people and lower through traffic. Plunges through   mobs. Violent. Stands people up in pass protection well. Looks like a really stout person. Always protecting the ball. Didn't get much work as a receiver but great when you just hand it to him.   

4. Kenneth   Gainwell Smaller frame, fast and low center of gravity type. Good hands, can run routes and make catches on the   outside. Not particularly hard to stop but he can gash. Quick player.   

5. Michael Carter Good athlete and has great   vision. Hits holes when they are there and barges the pile when there's   nothing. Operated in the same backfield as Javonte Williams and worked well   as the second punch. Fast but looks to be a little smaller.   

6. Kylin Hill Good at finding a pass rusher and taking them on. Fast and has good vision. Can go out wide,   up the middle, everything. Slim figure. Doesn't really generate separation   when he's rounning routes but can still be dumped off to. Not really a big   play/break away player.   

7. Trey Sermon Good   patience, good timing behind his line. OSU gave him massive holes. Doesn’t do   a ton of finding his own production. Can get exceptionally low. Seems to use   his arms on the ground more than anyone else. Fights hard. Can go down easy,   not super balanced.   

8. Chuba Hubbard Track   speed and likes to keep the movement straight up and down but seems hesitant   or indecisive when he sees bodies in front of him. Gets bottled up a lot when   he's got no momentum.   

9. Khalil Herbert Bowling ball figure that has enough burst to break off chunks and always fights for more. Keshawn Vaughn type but not quite as angry.

10. Jaret Patterson Smaller   type but has four wheel drive. Like the opposite of AJ Dillon. Probably not   sized right for a full workhorse role at the next level but can still damage   a defense.   

11. Rhomandre Stevenson Atypical   size - built like a cylinder. Good balance and arm strength. Not particularly   fast. Bruiser type.    

1. Jamaar Chase Wins contested balls, constantly adjusting his route to get more separation or make it   easier on his quarterback, always seems to know exactly where the defender is   and manages his catches accordingly. Good instincts. Doesn't generate much separation with his speed and cuts but can still burn down the sideline if he wants. One year with an NFL ready QB and playing opposite Justin Jefferson gives his value a hint of inflation.    

2. Devonta Smith Athletic speedster that excels in the short passing game and has top notch   acceleration with the ball in his hands. Doesn't make drops. Very good at adjusting to balls if he has hangtime to work with - ability to make super acrobatic plays. Doesn't break tackles and can get taken down with a shirt pull. Good at using long arms to keep space from defenders without pushing   off. Very hard to guard.   

3. Rashod Bateman Big hands-catcher. Fast and tall. Works great out wide and generates separation with speed. Can high point the ball without jumping and stay strong through the catch. Will pair   well with a QB that has a deep yards/attempt average. Looks like AJ Brown out there.   

4. Jaylen Waddle Very fast. Real playmaker with the ball. Get's up to speed quick and can make people miss. Seems to always catch the ball against his body, even in screen plays. Doesn't make highlight catches but makes highlight runs. Can be schemed into some great success but not a third down at the sticks type of player. Gets good separation on his routes since he's so fast and runs good routes. Would be best paired with some type of strong intermediate catchers.   

5. Elijah Moore Undersized but good hands, good contact balance, and makes people miss. Elite   acceleration. Focuses on the catch but very quick at turning into a runner. Can't generate separation on the outside. Has gadget abilities and experience in the backfield but I don't thin he belongs in that setting. Pure slot   receiver.    

6. Tylan Wallace Ability to get up and make a high catch. Makes very difficult catches look like everyday things. Just a gamer. Not super fast but still succeeded on the outside. QB made his life a   little more difficult than it needed to be. Big 12 defense.   

7. Kadarius Toney Quick off the line. Long legs. Looks like a smaller Jerry Jeudy out there. Can excel out of the backfield or on the outside. Super speedy. Doesn't have the breakaway long speed but he can generate separation very quickly and make chunk plays quick.   

8. Terrace Marshall  Tall body, keeps body compusure when he's on the move. Doesn't seem absolutely elite at anything specifically but very well rounded and produces when he gets the target. Speed, catch radius, route running, ability to adapt on throws.. It's all there. Can work in short slants or on the outside. Reminds me of Michael Thomas build but maybe not as strong.   

9. Rondale Moore Shifty and fast playmaker. Used in all kinds of ways in college. Served as a major focal point in his team's offense. Loves to get outside and work the boundaries. Not a go-up-and-get-it type of receiver but capable of high volume in the short game. Game breaking ability. Would love to see him on the Chiefs, Bills, Packers. Smaller player but has good balance. Very exciting player.   

10. Tamorrion Terry Impossible to watch this guy and not see the upside that DK Metcalf has shown the NFL. Huge body, elite top end speed, great acceleration. This guy is a problem for defensive backs. Impressive route running and cutting ability. Good downfield blocker. Looks a little out of place running short routes, not very refined. Seems like a reckless ball carrier but true game-breaking ability.   

11. Dazz Newsome Small and speedy slot reciever with elite quickness. Appears to always be talking with defenders. High energy player. Stays engaged on plays and does a solid job of down field blocking. Very raw. Not super composed or balanced and gets hit hard for it. Not a hands catcher. Would be fun to see him on a team that likes the short passing game.   

12. Amon-Ra St Brown Good anticipation of the ball, good reflexes. Ran a lot of out routes and worked the sidelines. Hard to tell if he has a limited route tree or if his QB only excelled in certain situations. Always looks for the big play. Not very physical.     

I had 5 teams this last year, which is about my max. I tend to play in very competitive leagues so I'm not rolling over managers that don't make moves. I managed to make playoffs in 2, and win 1. Not a good year at all but the win was a 20 teamer which was very fun. I also was the high point leader in another but missed playoffs. Love it.  I will make a list of players I like/don't like going into the next season which will highlight my main differences. 

Two of my most owned players between my 5 leagues were Will Fuller and Kareem Hunt. I knew the volume would be there for Fuller and got lucky on Hunt taking over as top dawg in Cleveland, although I prefer him to serve in that 3rd down/4th quarter role. He smashes. 

I faded Kenyan Drake, Juju, and James Conner pretty hard. This served well although I enjoy getting proved wrong by players showing up. 

Another one of my most owned players was Daniel Jones. I thought he would take a step forward with Jason Garrett, a new LT in Andrew Thomas, and a terrible defense. Turns out the defense was great and Jones was never fantasy relevant.

I faded Hopkins because I saw too much of the OBJ->Browns situation backfire. Hopkins is a beast. I faded Dalvin Cook due to injury concerns and he tore it up. I drafted Mattison everywhere on the cheap and it never did anything for me. Throw injury caution to the wind in fantasy!!! These guys are here to play!!!

1 Christian McCaffrey    

2 Saquon Barkley    

3 Ezekiel Elliott    

4 Derrick Henry    

5 Clyde Edwards-Helaire    

6 Michael Thomas - S Tier player in line with CMC   but at a very deep position.    

7 Alvin Kamara    

8 Joe Mixon    

9 Aaron Jones - Potentially Aaron Rodgers' #2   pass-catching option and an obvious red zone monster. Still expect him to see   60%+ of the snaps/production from this backfield even with AJ Dillon being   drafted. Very concentrated offense between him and Davante.   

10 Dalvin Cook    

11 Nick Chubb    

12 Davante Adams    

13 Tyreek Hill    

14 Josh Jacobs    

15 Miles Sanders    

16 Lamar Jackson - Too nasty to let fall. If any   team gets him the the third watch out.   

17 Kenyan Drake    

18 Austin Ekeler    

19 George Kittle    

20 Julio Jones    

21 Patrick Mahomes    

22 Deandre Hopkins - Hasn't seen less than 150   targets/yr since he was a sophomore splitting volume with Andre Johnson. Now   shares targets with Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk and has a QB that   does not lock on to players.   

23 Travis Kelce    

24 Chris Godwin    

25 Mike Evans - Expecting a decline in volume   since Jameis was insane. Jameis had almost 1,000 more Intended Air Yards than   the next highest QB (6,486 vs 5,539 (Dak)). I expect this to go down but it   will still support two great WRs. Evans is QB proof and has TB12.   

26 David Johnson    

27 Chris Carson    

28 Cooper Kupp - Easily Goff's favorite target.   Goff threw it over 600 times last year. Even a 20% share is 120 base targets and   Kupp works in high-percentage catch rate areas.   

29 Adam Thielen - Would require a big time   emergence from one of his teammates to not see very heavy volume from   Cousins.   

30 Kenny Golloday    

31 Todd Gurley - One of the more difficult   players to gauge as the upside is top tier RB in a very good offense but the   downside is obvious health issues and a capped ceiling due to limited   carries. Will probably make or break teams early on.   

32 Leveon Bell    

33 DJ Moore    

34 James Conner    

35 Odell Beckham    

36 Amari Cooper - Expecting stronger than usual rookie impact from   Ceedee Lamb which only drives other Dallas pass catchers down. Will still   shred some defenses but on an inconsistent basis.   

37 Leonard Fournette - Best running back on the   high-powered Tampa Bay offense. His opportunity will be capped at the   beginning but ultimately will be unleashed. Always produces when he's on the   field and he is being drafted at a discount.   

38 Mark Andrews    

39 Melvin Gordon    

40 Kareem Hunt - Expecting him to be very   efficient with his touches since he gets most plays off. Never been anything   less than a beast when he's on the field. No reason to think it will slow   down and offense seemingly showed floor last year.   

41 Raheem Mostert    

42 Keenan Allen    

43 Tyler Lockett    

44 Will Fuller - Has seen his targets increase   every year since he's come into the league. Checks every sijngle box   regarding talent, opportunity as Watson's 1a/1b, and volume with Hopkins   leaving. The upside is well worth it at this point in a draft but he is going   later.   

45 Jarvis Landry    

46 Robert Woods    

47 DK Metcalf    

48 Stefon Diggs    

49 Jonathon Taylor    

50 Marlon Mack    

51 Mark Ingram - Should be the most productive RB   on the team again but there's also Lamar, Gus Edwards, and JK Dobbins in the   mix who I expect to all play a part. Only so many carries to go around and   last year is Ingram's ceiling at 200+.   

52 Zack Moss    

53 James White - One of the best value picks in   the draft. Newton probably got used to working with CMC and now has two   similar playmakers in Edelman and White.    

54 Allen Robinson    

55 TY Hilton    

56 Zach Ertz    

57 Evan Engram    

58 Darren Waller    

59 Tyler Boyd    

60 Christian Kirk    

61 DJ Chark    

62 AJ Brown    

63 Kyler Murray    

64 Dak Prescott    

65 Russel Wilson    

66 Deshaun Watson - Still an elite option at QB even   with Hopkins gone. Enough weapons around him to do serious damage between   Fuller/Cooks out wide, David/Duke   Johnson out of the backfield, and Fells/Cobb/Stills in the gaps.   

67 Tyler Higbee    

68 Tarik Cohen    

69 Jordan Howard    

70 Cam Akers    

71 Deandre Swift    

72 JK Dobbins    

73 Tom Brady - Which coach is better for   fantasy - Belichick or Arians? Now consider the weapons at hand.   

74 Matt Ryan    

75 Daniel Jones - Showed he can blow up in games   where his defense can't stop anything. Their defense still is terrible after   spending draft capital to beef up the offensive line and losing multiple   defensive backs in the offseason. Jameis Winston just showed us that turnovers   can be overcome from the QB position.   

76 Julian Edelman    

77 Devante Parker    

78 Terry McLaurin    

79 Diontae Johnson    

80 Courtland Sutton    

81 Juju Smith Schuster    

82 Jalen Reagor    

83 John Brown    

84 Calvin Ridley    

85 Dallas Goedert - Could be a top 5 TE if anything   happens to Ertz and will be on the field regardless. Finished as a TE1 in   2019 and should only see an increase in touches.   

86 Noah Fant    

87 Austin Hooper    

88 Hunter Henry    

89 Will Dissly    

90 Jared Cook    

91 Mike Gesicki    

92 Steelers    

93 Josh Allen    

94 Ryan Tannehill - Finally gives Derrick Henry a   good passing attack and finally has a strong rungame to take the heat off.   Last year was probably the ceiling but knowing he can hit that every so often   makes him a solid value pick.   

95 Aaron Rodgers    

96 Drew Brees    

97 David Montgomery    

98 Darrell Williams    

99 Phillip Lindsay    

100 Sony Michel     

1 Joe Burrow Doesn't   make mistakes. He has good situational awareness and can find spots with his feet. Plays cool. Good recognition of when he has to let it go and can do it off one foot if he needs to. Good ball placement and has a deep average throw   distance. Benefitted tremendously from his line and weapons. This can't be overstated. Has two top WRs that can win jump balls and a line that's loaded with talent. They don't do it all for him but they give him time and open looks. Still, Burrow set all kinds of records so it is on his shoulders.  Andrew Luck comp.   

2 Jordan Love Lots of arm talent and plays like the best player on the offense. Experienced with poor offensive line and dealing with whatever comes to him. Relatively poor decision making when it comes to deep tosses/lobs. Strong running ability but prefers to throw. Makes all types of throws. Scans his options better than other QBs not named Burrow. Lots of designed-throw plays make it seem his vision is worse than it is. Deshaun Watson comp.   

3 Tua Tagovailoa Good   college quarterback. Strong running ability makes him a dual threat but not one you need to scheme against. Will fight for yards with his body/legs. Unique throwing style that is quick and accurate. Not an accurate deep   thrower, even with Ruggs and Jeudy. ikes to snipe it in place and in stride.  Can get locked-on with his WR at times and decision making is questionable.  Super talented and has good posture/presence in the backfield. Drew Brees comp but less accurate.   

4 Justin Herbert Big body and big arm. High point of release means he's throwing strikes. Fairly inaccurate, much moreso when he's rolling out. Bad case of locking-on to certain WRs. Doesn't scan the field enough. Poor awareness but ability to escape if it weak. Serious dual threat and hard to take down. Manages to stiff guys entirely or for more yards when only one comes at him. Paxton Lynch comp.   

5 Jacob Eason Talented arm and high volume thrower. Likes to take shots deep and is accurate with them. Poor vision in terms of findings his guys and gauging the secondary.   Doesn't like to make short plays, reluctant to use the RB. Less running ability than his decision making would suggest. Cleats grow roots.   

6 Jalen Hurts Very capable runner but runs too often. Not an accurate thrower - makes the easy throws and wants to run if no one is wide open. Good awareness in the pocket but not good at extending plays behind the line of scrimmage and continuing to look downfield. Solid presence.  

 7 Jake Fromm Inconsistent accuracy and never seems to make it easy on the WRs. Good at getting space at the beginning of the play but doesn't seem too aware of what's going on at   the edges. Doesn't scan the field for the open guy and when he does it takes too long. Less than average running ability. Slow tempo. Not a high volume thrower.    

1 Jonathon Taylor Powerful runner and smooth balance. Doesn't go down easy and finds holes with above average vision. Avoids full speed contact when he can and prefers to cut. Very good   acceleration out of cuts and is up to full speed at the line of scrimmage if there is a hole he sees. Doesn't always go for the home run play. Pure workhorse ability. Zeke comp but seeks a little less contact.   

2 Clyde Edwards-Helaire Unique abilities and playstyle. Barrels through holes and disappears in congestion. Plays to his strengths and keeps low balance with good-to-great gear shifting   speed and lateral shiftiness. Doesn't seem to accelerate at the beginning of the play until he sees a hole. Average vision but has more options due to size. Sticky hands. Benefitted from deep secondary units looking at Chase and Jefferson. Possible game changing size. Surprisingly good pass protection. Concerns as to why he wasn't nearly as good in previous years.   

3 Cam Akers Strong and slippery. Able to get a lot with not a lot of help. Poor line gave him good decision making experience. Seems to know when to be patient and when to  just get up there. Questionable pass protection but hard to tell because his line was terrible and his QB got cute with edge rushers often. High volume guy and goes hard on every play. Deserves a starting role at the next level.   

4 Deandre Swift Tremendous athlete. Works LBs in holes and knows when they can't keep up with him. Very fast and hard for defenses to predict. Productive in chaotic situations. Tendancy to lose yards when he catches it in the backfield because he isn't good at catching and turning upfield quick. Runs skinnier than his weight suggests - prefers to avoid contact because that's how he wins.    

5 JK Dobbins Fast and creative in space. Takes too many steps coming out of the backfield. Not quite as strong as you would like but looks and moves like he's built for a 3-down role. Makes catching look easy but drops some. Keeps upright unless he's in traffic. Not afraid of contact with the secondary and will lead with his shoulder to earn yards. Makes the right choices. Jaws with defenders.

 6 Anthony McFarland Another top notch athlete. Classic runningback style with acceleration, speed, and big plays. You can tell he is used to making big plays and will probably continue to do that at the next level. Not good at protecting the QB and not good at quickly becoming a receiving option to bail out his QB. A little moreso a one-tricky-pony than the rest of the class but he shows off the   one-trick all the time. 

 7 Zack Moss Versatile, complete back. Patient behind the line and excellent decision maker. Knows when to cut up field, bounce outside, and take just what's given. Played with a porous offensive line so he knows when the play is over and tries to get back to the line. Can churn out extra yards in space with spins and sheds weak tackles. Good hands. Weak in pass protection - can't stand up to edge rushers very well. Aggressive/brutal running style takes a lot of damage. Similar style to Akers but not as strong or fast.   

8 AJ Dillon Big framed shoulders and body with impressive top speed. Carries a relatively high center of balance and goes down surprisingly easy considering the arm strength. Avoids contact and bets on his feet often. A lot to be desired in terms of asserting dominance with his power but still an impressive runner   that is capable of breaking out wide. Could develop into a Derrick Henry lite   and his style may provide longevity.   

9 Ke'shawn Vaughn Consistently gives max effort on each play and will fight through tackles. Looks painful for defenses to hit him each play. Brutal style that should get him playing time at the next level but not in a workhorse fashion. Phillip Lindsay comp.   

10 Darrynton Evans Doesn't stop fighting for yards. Lighter frame and speedy. Aggressive in pass protection, maybe one of the best in the class. Doesn't take much to take him down. Gets what is given and gets a little more. Hard, brutal style.   

11 Lamical Perine Moves in space like a true WR. Not very powerful but crafty and requires solid tackling to make sure he's going down. Can't break through tackles but can avoid by getting small in traffic. Quicker than he is fast. Really just plays like a slot receiver coming out of the backfield.   

12 Deejay Dallas Crafty runner and absorbs hits well. Fast enough to skate through holes but lacks elite top speed and acceleration. Stands up well in pass protection but tends to get lost. Gap between protecting and being an option is too big on most plays.    

13 Antonio Gibson Great athlete that can be used in more way than just out of the backfield. Strong WR build with great catching ability. Atypical for the RB mold and not suited to be a workhorse but can serve as a weapon in any offense.    

14 Joshua Kelley Vision, balance, and decision making are all suspect but could be a product of poor offensive line. Not afraid of contact - even seeks it out at times. Has good bowling ball barrelling technique when he hits crowds and causes damage. Fairly raw in terms of running technique. Lots of lateral movement, not quite as direct as you'd like to see. Very capable receiver.   

15 Eno Benjamin Doesn't seem to generate enough power to push through tackles and keeps his balance high. Can shed people with spins and body control but doesn't seem to be   exceptional at anything.     

1 Ceedee Lamb Very strong catching abilities, big body, and constantly looking to rip more off than what the defense is giving him. Hard to bring down due to his size and athleticism although he played against mainly weak secondaries. Big play ability as seen in his 19+ yards per catch college average. Good route runner and can stop/start as quick as anyone in the class. Body language shows he thinks he's leaving meat on the bones if he isn't wreaking havoc. High expectations. Doesn't seem to give it all he's got on every play, especially one's they aren't throwing on.   

2 Jerry Jeudy Elite route running. Ability to shake defenders off the ball to give his QB a wide open target. Good hands and can adjust to high flyers well. Long legs and strides make him a killer in the 15+ yard range. Very fast but not super quick. Can step and cut very hard but likely won't have the time and space to   do that at the next level. Big target that makes himself bigger with route running. Avoids contact and doesn't shed tackles but can keep them at a distance with long arms. Long body type.   

3 Justin Jefferson Very solid at everything, well-rounded WR. Fast enough to compete, route running and separation are proven at the highest level, can catch away from his body.   Ability to run any route - deep, sideline, over the middle, sweep. Used to being heavily used and doesn't commit drops. Can take players on 1v1. Played in an NFL offense opposite Jamarr Chase and likely benefit greatly.    

4 KJ Hamler Very fast. Can truly dust people if they aren't turned and ready to keep up. Small body. Less refined than some of the others at the top of this class. Catches against his body. Good at adjusting his body to account for poor deep throws. Used well as a pure deep threat in college. Plays like the fastest WR in the class.    

5 Gabriel Davis    Can catch anything. Great in 50/50, great in single coverage deep throws. Consistently out-muscles defensive backs on throws over 20 yards deep. Very similar to Mims and Higgins in terms of skillset and receiver type, possibly the fastest of the three.      

6 Henry Ruggs Speedy. Can't break tackles or cut people up but he has enough speed to win 1v1's if he has the space. Alabama loved to send him sprinting and then abuse the space he vacated. Commands attention from safeties. He is a legitimate stretcher that can get loose in a split second but doesn't have the route running or quickness off the line to maximize his potential. Always the last WR off the line even though he's the fastest. Avoids contact.    

7 Jalen Reagor Crazy atheltic. Maybe the most athletic WR in the class. Not very balanced as a ball carrier. Less than good hands. QB play was very skeptical and may play a role in his catching rating. Can highpoint the ball with his body and timing but will go for the body catch. Doesn't want to extend his arms up to catch like the successful big bodies do in the NFL. Can run any route which enables him for possible WR1 opportunities.   

8 Brandon Aiyuk Niche player and sticks to just a couple of routes - slants and gos. Better athlete than WR. Fast and bounces out of cuts fast to create separation with long, strong legs. Hard to take down because of his strength. Catches the ball against his body. Good returner.   

9 Tee Higgins All around solid in every facet. Strong enough to break tackles and shake corners, fast enough to be dragged all over the field and be a playmaker on any catch. Better at catching in traffic than he is catching inaccurate throws. Will throw his hand up even if the corner is on top of him because he is great in 50/50. Doesn't generate good separation. Plays like a true #1 wideout. Played with Trevor Lawrence throwing to him which is a big bump in quality of opportunities.   

10 Laviska Shenault Built   like an oversized runningback and plays like it. Aggressive with the ball in   his hands and doesn't shy away from contact. Strong hands and ability to catch in crowds. Didn't see the quality   opportunity that some other WRs in the class did. Clear team alpha and will   fit in at the next level. Catches with his hands away from his body. Not an   efficient runner, lots of lateral movement and looks shaky. Fast but not   elite speed. Questionable body language when his team is down.   

11 Denzel   Mims Strong   hands and very physical. Can burn defenders if they aren't set, can come back   and catch the contested ball, and can break tackles. Good at going up for   contested balls. Catches away from his body. Great downfield blocker. Mike   Evans comp.   

12 Bryan   Edwards Another   big body, strong hands WR. Stays outside because he's best in single coverage   and stays up to fight for extra yards. Difficult to take down with only one   defender. Good downfield blocker. Comfortable running the football and makes   sound decisions with the ball in his hands. Very direct runner and doesn't   get fancy. Acceleration seems lacking but top end speed combined with size   and contact mentaility makes up for it quite a bit.   

13 Chase   Claypool Large   target but not particularly fast. Succeeds in low depth areas like a TE in   the NFL. Not physical, fast, or quick enough in the route to generate   separation but can check back to the QB and win in contested spots.   

14 Devin   Duvernay Relies   on athletic abilities rather than route running to get separation. Was fast   enough to stop unrefined route running from slowing him down. Good at   catching and immediately becoming a sprinter. Average hands. Doesn't want to   block - could be a product of conference play. Not afraid of contact.   

15 James   Proche Elite   catching ability. Slingshots off the line but only has average straight line   speed. Good route runner and wins 50/50 balls despite playing somewhat   undersized. Produced a lot in college. Textbook actions on plays he is not   involved in.    

16 Michael   Pittman Not   quite elite in any major category. Athletic player but not a burner, good   hands but likes to catch against his body and on check backs, solid route   running and route tree in general but takes plays off if he isn’t involved.   Not super phsyical with defenders but still finds a way.    

1 Adam Trautman Great body   control and running kinesthetics. Quick enough to make CBs work and always   works to get extra yards. Clearly sees himself as more of a WR than a TE but works well in the middle but not just in the middle. Could be better in the blocking realm but stills gives enough.    

2 Cole Kmet Sure hands, good protector. Good route runner and used to be involved from any position on offense. Not super athletic to the Kelce/Engram level but fast enough to serve as a real threat in the middle. No major weaknesses.   

3 Brycen Hopkins Very good receiver. Little shaky as a runner but top notch speed for a TE. Great hands and ability to high point the ball. Quick at transitioning from a catcher to a runner. Can run block but shouldn't be asked to protect the QB. Not quite the body type/frame to hold up as an every-down TE.   

4 Thaddeus Moss Excellent blocker. Ability to run routes and then block downfield. Big frame and filled out, aggressive on run blocking and can hold up to just about anybody. Slow off the line and in general. Will not lose a defender with his route running. Can't generate separation to effectively line up on the outside and expect to get shots. Good hands, can catch with in tight coverage. Too slow to earn extra yards but consistently bails out QBs as a short option. Like an old Jason Witten but with elite blocking ability.
