Klatt ranks his Top 5 Pass Catchers in the 2024 NFL Draft

FOX Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt ranks his Top 5 Pass Catchers (Wide Receivers & Tight Ends) in the 2024 NFL Draft. Klatt reveals how he ranks the top Wide Receivers in the draft including Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., LSU’s Malik Nabers and Washington’s Rome Odunze. He also makes the case for Georgia Tight End Brock Bowers to be ranked above many of the top Wide Receivers in the Draft and points out why a dominant player at his position is more valuable than a top wideout. Klatt also considers how the depth at the Wide Receiver position in this Draft class will affect teams’ decision making on Draft Day.

Where do you think these guys will be drafted?

[@c1osure]

Idk but, Nabers over Harrison. Not gonna happen but it’s fun to think about. 1A 1B those two.

[@seancronin8757]

I actually really like Troy Franklin to the Bears if they trade back 9.

[@PHUnkel66]

I’d take the generational talent Bowers first, then plug and play Nabers and then the athletic MHJ.

[@thechannel2398]

Best WR's are in this order: 1. Malik Nabors (Generational) 2. Marvin Harrison Jr. 3. Xavier Legette 4. Romeo Odunze 5. Xavier Worthy 6. Devontez Walker 7. Troy Franklin 8. Keon Coleman 9. Brian Thomas

[@grbggaming6885]

Tez Walker is George Pickens lite. There's a lot of receivers that will rise. Thomas might go top 5. MHJ is the best. Roman Wilson will shoot up. Ladd McConkey for sure will go higher than projected. Mitchell is another one.

Bowers is amazing. He easily passes the eye test and has been Georgia's best offensive player for the past three years.

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

The recent NFL has a lot of great TE's playing the game, contributing to large parts of their respective teams offense. Lot's of OC's putting these guys to work catching over the middle or in the flats. There have been quite a few good rookie TE's that are having an early impact.

[@holdenstephens619]

Charger fan here. I've been watching a lot of analyst say Brock isn't the guy for the chargers. And I was always so confused. And felt crazy that I was the only one. Thank you Joel! TE's like him are so rare and Herbert will love throwing to a big TE.

[@CodyCR]

Bowers was in the discussion for best player in college football until he suffered a mid-season injury. He’s legit. It will be interesting to see what Harbaugh wants to do …. From my Michigan fan POV, it might be hard to pass on OLine if Alt or Fashanu is an elite OT prospect. Harbaugh loves to win in the trenches. It’s the boring idea when compared to drafting Bowers, but it’s part of the reason my Lions found success.

[@choosecarefully408]

The best use of Herbert is having a WR down-field. I'd say Nabers is a better fit for those of us wanting to finally see Herbert show off that arm. This *could be* a great year for the Chargers do trade away for now. Lots of o-line talent. But it wouldn't be enough for a team in the same division as you-know-who. Still, I have a weird feeling they might.

[@chadcallaghan913]

Joel, I am genuinely happy that that I found you here on KZbin. For me, the NFL Draft is another fantastic form of escapism (along with music, Fantasy Football, Netflix, etc.), and year after year, I lose myself (happily, blissfully) in the Draft. The drama with the kids & their families, the unexpected trades, the ramifications for the teams that draft the players, it's just awesome. Well, now, I've also found you and your channel - and in just the past 2 weeks or so, you've given me a lot more to digest and contemplate. Thank you, sir. I will be watching, and I just want to say that I appreciate you and your videos. Cheers from Gretna. :-)

[@lukesofhazzard7]

Great video Joel. I will say that I personally like Malik Nabers slightly over Rome Odunze. Watching Nabers tape and seeing the LSU receiving records he broke is crazy to me when you look at some of the guys in the NFL now that went to LSU. I think he is going to have an immediate impact with whatever team he gets drafted to and will be an All-Pro within the next 3 years. Another awesome NFL Draft ranking video! Keep up the great work

[@arismessios4796]

So right on the TEs, look at the final 4 teams this year. Kelce, Kittle, Laporta and Andrews/Likely

[@kalvin.]

It also speaks to the shortage at the LB position in the NFL. The shift to smaller speedier edge and LB has led to mismatches from talented TE’s to really make an impact. As a Seattle fan, it was extremely telling that JSN basically had nothing good to say about our old OC and I felt the same watching that offense; boring predictable and so far outclassed in their division compared to SF or LAR.

[@jimmyb7828]

You’re the man Klatt

[@Dosa7777]

Hey Joel, are u going to do a best LB's video We need one here in Philly

[@WadeInTheJeep]

I love the TE vs WR importance discussion. Patriots (Gronk) did not have a top 5-10 WR, Mahomes- all year people were bashing chiefs for WR play but had Kelce. The elite TE safety blanket is a QB’s best friend.

[@donjon4335]

The fact Nabers is ranked 4th and he broke records at LSU where they have had numerous top WRs in the last 10 years is insane. I think between him and Odunze its just gonna be what does your team need more? The physical shifty guy or the big receiver? Like Bears for example already have DJ Moore they should go for Odunze if they're both available. But if you already have a big guy then go get Nabers. If you don't have either then do deeper research into them. Probably can't go wrong with either.

[@jacobfischer8385]

I love Nabers and he is a top 10 pick in the draft but I think Chase would hold the record if he didnt sit out. 100% agree with Rome to Chicago

[@donjon4335]

@@jacobfischer8385 good point on Chase but that's good company.

Really appreciate the Bowers rant Joel. You’re 10000% correct. The tight end position is unfairly devalued. Gronk and Kelce were key parts of the two most recent dynasties for a reason.

[@LukeXlll]

I agree with Joel on the value of the TE position in the NFl. Look at the last 4 teams standing in the Chiefs, 49ers, Ravens and the Lions. They all have an elite tight end. Kelce, Kittle, Andrews and Laporta may be the 4 best TEs in the league. Huge contributors on Offense and it’s no coincidence their teams were successful.

He knew the team was mid and that they couldn’t beat Michigan. I told OSU fans this year when they beat ND 17-14 that they were in trouble. The year prior they’d beat a worse ND team 21-10. Then it got closer, and ND is always overrated and overhyped. OSU fans didn’t realize how good Stroud was and he still couldn’t beat Michigan. It’s just like this year, they scream about reloading yet they’re losing Marv and they have nobody on that level. They aren’t reloading anything. They still have the soft mentality due to Ryan Day. They want him fired for losing 7 career games…

16:00 - In my opinion, it’s not that JSN is a bad fit in Seattle, it’s he was a WR3 to start the year and coming off a broken wrist in the pre season with a very, very sub par OC in Shane Waldron. I’d argue JSN grew into WR2 by the end of the season over Tyler Lockett. Puka got the chance to be WR1 from day one with Kupp being hurt and WR2 when Kupp came back, with much better passing game coordination under Sean McVay.

Joel, I’ve heard concerns about Keon Coleman’s speed. If he does lack in that area for an outside WR, could he be utilized in a similar way as a Brock Bowers or does that not work because of where he lines up? Clearly I don’t know as much about football as NFL teams but I just don’t see how you can’t find a way to utilize his unique physical ability even if he’s not faster than most corners.

[@GwendolynStaheli]

4. Harrison 5. Bowers 6. Odunze 8. Nabers Can't see any way the Falcons will be able to resist taking one of these WRs given how their last few drafts have gone. If they sign a QB, trade for Fields, or are unable to move up, they 100% take whichever of these names is still on the board. I don't see any world where the Falcons take Dallas Turner unless all of these guys are off the board by 8, which is unlikely barring massive trades.

[@ReallyGotMotion]

That’s absurd to say WRs don’t win super-bowls. There’s a reason teams trade for WRs like AJ Brown, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, and they change the trajectory of the franchise. Outside of Kelce, who is lucky to play with Mahomes, what tight end is winning superbowls? We just saw Kupp and Jamar chase 2 years ago. We saw Devonta and AJ brown last year, we Saw Mike Evans Godwin AB 3 years prior. Etc etc. you need these playmakers. You can’t use Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady as a barometer, they’ll win with a left tackle at TE.

[@Xstrangis]

It’s true tho WRs are replaceable and not as valuable as people think they are. Scheme, qb, and offensive line play is what wins. Look at the chiefs. Yes they have Kelce, but their WR room is underwhelming yet they won back to back super bowls without a star receiver.

Joel is probably the smartest college football analyst out there, bar none. Those three are easily the top in this draft. How Malik Nabers has jumped these three in some mock drafts blows my mind. I get for Bowers, it's more so need, but he should still be drafted before a lot of these guys. No offense to Nabers, he's a good player and not knocking him. I just think those top 3 are above anyone else in this draft. Again, this isn't saying he shouldn't be drafted high. Just think he should be drafted after those top 3, along with any other WR or TE, in this draft. Rome isn't getting enough love. If I'm a team, take Rome, and sneak back into the 1st for Penix. If you can match up a QB and WR from college that was actually prolific, a la Burrow and Chase, you pair them up in the pros. It just makes too much sense.

Chicago has a shot at getting both MHJ and Brock Bowers. They could easily trade down the No. 1 and trade up the No. 9 to pull it off. Getting a new QB is just maintaining the status quo. Grabbing these 2 guys and shoring up the O-line will at least make them a 9 win team. If the QB play is still bad you got a stacked QB class again the next draft and he’ll be coming into a way better situation then any QB would this draft.

Imagine the bears trading to number 2 taking Harrison and bowers at 9. Jeez !!!

[@kevinfoster4240]

Bowers all day baby!!!

[@davidviertels728]

The NYG should go get him, sort of McCaffrey, a little bit of Kelce, but it's worth going for him. Can't go wrong.

[@kodysmith6722]

Where could you see Troy Franklin going in the draft? I think the chiefs would be a phenomenal fit

[@atrain10]

I want Jacob cowing to go to the Texans since he went to UTEP … go miners

[@douglasfulmer5483]

This guy gets better every week, he has CFB on a chokehold

[@ZachG7107]

Did my man just call Cooper Kupp a TE😭😭😭 8:43

[@jadenwalton4272]

I heard that too😂

[@kerrycloud70]

He referred Kupp as an occupier of the middle of the field

[@ZachG7107]

Okay he fixed it 😂 13:36

[@cecilfletcher4404]

No Joe, they don't beat Ohio State if that Georgia safety doesn't take out Marvin Harrison Jr. With that illegal hit. Bowers catch was nice but let's not flip the script...even Georgia knew that was the difference in the game!

[@shootem5568]

It was a clean hit. Cry about it.

[@jf2000x]

I think they should allow Paul Heyman to announce the pick when Bowers gets drafted.

[@Drew_F1]

You forgot about super bowl mvp Julian Edelman

[@future_teknokrat7585]

Jerry Rice was the ONE WR who was the best offensive player on a SB team.

[@czechpirc3212]

Just my humble opinion but I think you are overvaluing TE by undervaluing OT/OG

[@blueflameSM]

I really like Bowers, but I think Kyle Pitts may have scared teams off taking a TE that high. If he isn't taken by the Chargers, he may drop quite a bit to the mid-1st round. Not a fault of him, but due to the position.

[@FuRawRee]

Tight ends must be great at contested catching to be great in the nfl. Look up your top 5 nfl tes and they all have contested catch rates in the 70s brock is in the 20s like yall just keep glossing over this like majority of his work isn't gonna be over the middle of the field in very tight windows

[@datboidmac1602]

Joel I’m gonna need you to calm down on the Brock Bowers hype. I need him falling to the Bengals at 18 lol

[@maristoldboys5466]

Rodgers to Bowers is money in the middle and twice in the RZ #UptownBaby #JetsFanFromFiji

[@Jlee7ev]

No hate to Brock Bowers at all., but every special tight end Klatt named was a 2nd round pick or later .. gronk Kittle Kelce ertz.. u can get great value for them later in the draft. U end up with guys like Kyle pitts or Kellen Winslow jr when you take tight ends to early

[@zakkback1825]

Yes, but all those guys would have been drafted top 10 if they knew how good they were gonna be.

[@michealcollins5838]

Rome #1 Odunze is hands down the best CATCHER in this class. Who had bigger grabs than him in moments that mattered? It’s ok I’ll wait……….

[@zakkback1825]

Unfortunately, there is alot more to being a pass catcher than just catching the ball. For instance, after catch ability, route running, getting separation, gadget plays, blocking etc.

[@jbattle34]

Rams , Cooper Kupp

[@Bradstonepro]

You may not hate any of them, but you certainly don’t enjoy talking about LSUs WRs, 30 seconds total, took 10 minutes to get through Brock bowers

[@HoldenBroussard]

I like coleman but he disappears in games his separation percentage is very low

[@youngfleat]

Which game he definitely step up in the Clemson game

[@djswaglightyear2193]

No Xavier Worthy?
