25. Omar Bayless, Arkansas State 6-3, 207 (6)
NFL Combine What Matters: A big-time volume catcher who caught 93 passes for 1,653 yards and 17 scores, he was massively productive – and vastly underrated – but he has to be fast. He can play in the league, but he has to come up with a good 40 – he needs to show off NFL raw tools.
24. Isaiah Coulter, Rhode Island 6-3, 190 (5)
NFL Combine What Matters: Worth a long look, he’s a tall, athletic deep threat who can take the top off a defense. He’s not going to do everything right, but put him on the outside, throw it up there, and outrun his way to get it – he has to dominate the speed drills.
23. Collin Jefferson, Texas 6-6, 220 (4)
NFL Combine What Matters: An intriguing target with tremendous size and the athleticism to play even bigger, he’s a matchup nightmare who’ll bully his way for 50/50 passes against the toughest of corners. Can he be quick in the short drills, or is he a one-trick guy who’ll make tough grabs down the field? His hamstring has to be checked out after missing almost half the season.
22. Gabriel Davis, UCF 6-3, 212 (4)
NFL Combine What Matters: A wonderful combination of size, production, and toughness, he can play, and he can be a nice part of a puzzle, but he can’t be lumbering in the drills. How smooth is he?
21. Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michigan 6-2, 208 (4)
NFL Combine What Matters: He’s got all the ability for an NFL team to fall in love, but the production was never there. Big, really fast, really smart, and with good enough hands, there’s a shot he turns into a good pro after a somewhat disappointing Michigan career. However, he’s not shifty enough and he wasn’t able to turn into a special playmaker considering his potential and skills.
20. Quintez Cephus, Wisconsin 6-1, 207 (5)
NFL Combine What Matters: He has a nice all-around mix of skills who produced for a team that didn’t exactly wing the ball around the yard. He’s a tough target who can block and force his way to catches. His short range quickness will be the key.
19. Isaiah Hodgins, Oregon State 6-4, 209 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: It’s all there to be a nice value pick in the mid-to-late third round. Can he run well enough to push himself higher? He’s got the size, hands and tools to be a terrific NFL target, but he can’t be painfully slow.
18. Jauan Jennings, Tennessee 6-3, 208 (4)
NFL Combine What Matters: An interesting call who’ll be all over the scouting board, he looks the part, he’s a tough target who’ll battle for a play, and he’s got upside as a possible No. 2 man, but can he run? He has to show off just a wee bit of deep speed.
17. Lynn Bowden, Kentucky 6-1, 199 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: A tough, smart player who saved Kentucky’s season as a quarterback, but now he has to prove – again – that he’s really a receiver. Use him in a variety of ways, but he has to look like an NFL-caliber wideout.
16. KJ Hill, Ohio State 6-0, 195 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: It takes something to be the all-time leading receiver at Ohio State, he can be a volume catcher who’ll always come through when needed. He might not be anyone’s No. 1 target, but he’s got the upside to be a fantastic No. 2.
15. Devin Duvernay, Texas 5-11, 202 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: Speed, speed, speed. He’s not going to be the fastest player at the combine, but he’s won’t be far off. Throw in his toughness, his 106-catch, 1,386-yard senior season, and blow off that he doesn’t necessarily look the part of an NFL wideout.
14. Chase Claypool, Notre Dame 6-4, 229 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: Very big and very physical, throw the ball his way and he’ll go get it. He’s a matchup nightmare who could dominate as a No. 2 target, but can he run well enough to be a top 100 pick?
13. Denzel Mims, Baylor 6-3, 206 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: There’s a chance he could slide into the top 50 if he’s quick through the short drills and catches everything in sight in future workouts. He’s a deep ball thriller who can change games, but does he have the short-range explosiveness compared to the others in a deep class?
12. Van Jefferson, 6-2, 197, Florida (4)
NFL Combine What Matters: Try to look past his lack of elite production with the Gators. He’s a battler for the ball who became ultra-reliable, but he needs to show off a little speed. It’s a crowded field of receivers, and he needs to standout as an early Day Three get.
11. Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State 6-0, 201 (2)
NFL Combine What Matters: A good-sized speedster who averaged over 18 yards per catch last year with the ability to hit the home run and make big things happen on the move. It’s all about the 40 with him – he has to be the part of a speed receiver.

10. Tyler Johnson, Minnesota 6-2, 205 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: Just throw it his way and he’ll go and get it. He’s a strong, determined receiver who does just about everything right, but does he have the NFL speed and tools? If he’s just okay in the drills, teams will fall in love with him as a possible top 50 selection.
9. Michael Pittman, USC 6-4, 220 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: If you’re looking for your late Day Two value pick at receiver, here you go. He’s an NFL-caliber No. 1 target as long as he’s surrounded by great deep speed. A great – or even a good one – will move him up, but he’ll be a pro’s pro. Yes, USC changed around the offense to help the passing game, but he was dominant despite a revolving door last season at quarterback.
8. Jalen Reagor, TCU 5-11, 195 (2)
NFL Combine What Matters: Throw in his ability as a return man to go along with his playmaking ability, and he’ll be a fun toy for a coaching staff to play with. Get the ball in his hands and he’ll do something with it. He won’t be physical, and he might not be a No. 1 target, but he’s a special weapon who could crush as part of a strong offensive puzzle.
7. Bryan Edwards, South Carolina 6-3, 215 (3)
NFL Combine What Matters: He’ll be an interesting call. He looks like what you want as an NFL wide receiver, he’ll beat people up for the ball, and he can move. Do you care about his lack of elite quickness? Do you care that he only averaged 11.5 yards per catch last year? If he’s not painful in the short drills, he could move up into the second round.
6. Justin Jefferson, LSU 6-2, 192 (2)
NFL Combine What Matters: Yeah, Joe Burrow was amazing, but it helped that he could throw the ball into the area of a receiver as good as Jefferson and the play would be made. He’s just the right combination of skills to be someone’s No. 1 receiver, and best of all, he’s going to be a great value at the end of the first round or early in the second … unless he blows up his workout.
