The 10 Best Receivers In The 2023 NFL Draft

[@GO-wb1gf]

Coming back to this just to rewatch the analysis on QJ lmao

[@dh-uo4lt]

Terrible receiver. Bad hands

[@unknownuser69420.]

Same lmao

[@mattfig2924]

Wow Marcus I was surprised to hear that you think Rashee Rice is the best WR prospect since Julio Jones, but great analysis as always regardless.

[@heyyeshyou]

Yup he got me lol

[@Crispy44652]

I was about to snap lmao.

[@808yorkie]

Yeah... no

[@heyyeshyou]

Shoot I would mine Texans drafting rice in the third round him or Hyatt

[@AxxelX5]

Glad the Chiefs got him.

[@dustinlaratonda778]

Great Position Breakdowns. I wish CB, FS, DT, Edge. Could get same kinda love for all the Draft People out there. Love to hear about there guys. Bcuz I can’t keep up during college season. BUT Draft season is ON! LFG!!! #CowboysNation #2023NFLDraft

[@maximusrex8689]

Jayden Reed getting a Tyler Lockett comp is awesome, Lockett has been one of the most underrated wideouts in the NFL and we need more guys like him

[@Fordinlaytonutah]

I love how he catches the ball and never takes a huge hit. But he catches the ball, the important part

[@toddkephart6184]

Thank you for not just having the same top ten as everyone else. You actually give analysis instead of just mimicking popular opinion. Thank you!

[@mosespf]

i appreciate someone who doesn’t give every prospect an All-Pro comp lmao love you Marcus

[@titanguy9992]

Please do not change the length I like this in depth analysis there are plenty of people giving quick analysis keep up the good work more of the same.

[@Eric-jz1cv]

Man so excited for this years draft content. Seems like each year marcus gets better and better with his evaluations.

[@nickalfidi3285]

Loved draft season content last year and I can’t wait for this year’s! Keep it up! (Also loving the new presentation).

[@whodeynation5145]

I had Washington as my WR7 heading into the season. Really popped watching PSU last year. Haven’t heard much hype so I haven’t gotten to his 2022 tape, will need to give it a look. He could be a nice Tyler Boyd understudy

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Love that fit.

[@nathanschmidt3360]

Thanks for the vid! Any thoughts on Puka Nacua as an honorable mention? Alpha WR at BYU, utilized as a dual threat rusher/receiver in the redzone, very deebo-esque but less explosive. Stats aren't eye-popping, but I'd attribute that to the poor QB play. Think he can translate to the next level?

[@Donz01]

Don't see a future for him

[@adang9948]

Damn son. Spot on with the Deebo comparison too. Not fast in routes but faster with the ball.

[@king_supreme1102]

Would love to see Josh Downs go to the colts. MPJ and Alec Pierce are deep threat/down the field threats. Downs could compliment them well, could be some solid options for their rookie QB.

[@adamabburkett2898]

Trey Palmer, AT Perry, Cedric Tillman, Xavier Hutchinson, Jonathan Mingo, Rashee Rice are all fringe round 2-5.. Really good analysis, I enjoyed the video

[@rjharrold2907]

I got excited when you mentioned Washington was your 9th, hes MAD underrated and when he got hurt that didn't help. Another comp I like as a Giants fan is Sterling Shepard but a little thicker, hes not ever gonna be a star in the league but he is gonna be a reliable receiver

[@rjharrold2907]

😂And now I get to that

[@rjharrold2907]

I actually think you're higher on Hyatt than consensus I don't think I'd take him until day 3, MAYBE late round 3. Hes a pretty poor mans Darius Slayton or Mecole Hardman and pretty much just a speed gadget

[@rjharrold2907]

As for Zay he also has outside ability unlike Downs. And he has trained with AB before so that gives context for the similarities they have

[@rjharrold2907]

I also made the same exact comp for Addison man

[@ricardorivera7549]

@@rjharrold2907 nah hyatt can be a solid second option i feel he is closer to a tyler lockette mesh with curtis samuel. he saw a lot of volume in college and his play making ability is rare

[@zgamer200]

Sounds like the Pats will have some good options in the early rounds if they decide that the asking price to retain Meyers is too much. Hopefully Belichick finally gets it right at WR if he takes one of these guys.

[@davidnelson6874]

I really liked Parker Washington. He has NFL receiver written all over him. He won’t likely be a star but he looks like a starter for sure.

[@demia683]

Many people don’t talk about Rakim Jarrett so happy he got a mention really underrated would flourish on the right team

[@traviswillett9883]

Great feed back …. I really think the changing of the Offensive Rules ( Concussion Pay OUTs ) really prioritized WR’s, LT and QB’s earlier in the draft even more than the last 9 years …Great tape! 💪

[@alfredosauce3727]

I think Trey Palmer out of Nebraska deserves to at least be an honorable mention. Guys got good really everything. Sub 4.4 speed, 6'4" 190 lbs, good route runner, good hands. That Nebraska coaching staff was the opposite of ideal, I see Trey as a sleeper pick. If you haven't Marcus, I reccomend looking at his tape. Even with his surroundings he had some dominant performances and if he can hone in on that I think he'll be very successful in the league.

[@SangyWangy1]

you think Palmer is 6'4? Dude is listed at 6'1 and most likely will measure even shorter at the combine

[@alfredosauce3727]

@Sangy Wangy yeah looks like you're probably right. He didn't look 6'4" while playing but he's listed as 6'4" by Google and so I just trusted that. The official nebraska site has him at 6'1"

[@SangyWangy1]

@@alfredosauce3727 I just know I looked at him as a slot option for the Eagles so I was like surprised when I saw you say 6’4 haha

[@MintyN3rd]

Your draft content is always top tier man. Looking forward to more this year!

[@bark2650]

Zay actually trained with AB

[@bharris108]

So glad to see Michael Wilson getting some love. I’m a total Stanford homer, but I can admit that we really didn’t give him great opportunities to show his skills. I think he’ll have a great career. Maybe not a superstar, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him have a 10-year career as a WR2 or WR3.

[@connormacleod908]

Hyped to watch, for the Chargers I’d hope for Addison/Flowers in the first or Hyatt in the second.

[@408Machine]

Hyatt’s upside is overlooked. If he gets a little better at route running then watch out

[@Crispy44652]

All Herbert needs is someone with speed to take the top of the defense. The missing piece to that offense.

[@ethanpratt6738]

Coming back to this after a year and honestly this isn’t that bad of an analysis even with hindsight

[@MaadhatsOnTwitch]

Idk not having Rice in the honorable mentions is pretty bad. Also QJ as your WR1 is awful as well

I hope your videos all start doing as well as the Fangio video, you really deserve it purely for the quality of your work.

Good content thanks. What is your analysis for AT Perry out of Wake Forest?

[@liluglyboi]

commenting for the algorithm and to say hyatt getting the Biletnikoff over Marvin Harrison Jr. was an absolute robbery

[@jameshollister8294]

Dell was better

[@Garrettguy5]

Lmfao Harrison is great but calm down

[@tdrb42]

Check the stats

[@ericclaeyborn3600]

Hyatt is the best.

[@BigRW]

Hyatt had better numbers and did it against better competition. You're just a homer.

[@TheBlakkSamurai]

You make the absolute best draft content on the net! You give intelligent and honest takes on the players you review. Keep up the good work!!!

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Thank you!

[@matthewmiller_21]

Love the comments on Dell. I think if he and his team utilize his skills well he could be one of the NFL’s great receivers. Yes he’s small, but he’s become really good at making space for that reason. He is also a punt/kick returner piece who replaced Marcus Jones at Houston last year. That may also see him play more or even rise in the draft

[@ryanshippa5728]

ALSO regarding small receivers - esp. for shorter QBs - they’re hard to see sometimes!

[@huntergreen1767]

Without a doubt the most helpful and insightful draft channel I've seen so far on KZbin. You can just tell when you talk that you are incredibly intelligent and actually know what you're talking about. Keep up the awesome content man! 👏

[@carlmichaud5925]

Are they gonna pay Higgins? Obviously Chase is getting his but not many teams paying high dollar to two wrs. Bengals have some tough decisions to make.

[@brandonphillips9889]

Almost have the same list.. But I have AT Perry sneaked in as a late 2nd. If he can run in the 4.4s.. He might be one of the best deep threats

[@davidmacarthur705]

I really want Johnston to the Patriots, give Mac a true number one

[@magicalmixer5453]

Idk scouting stuff at all, but wouldn't the fact most of these WRs being 6'0 or shorter be a really big problem when not in the slot or doing bubble screens, etc.?

[@jacksonkelley6754]

not necessarily. size obviously helps and is preferred, but Flowers and Downs are good examples of guys who could go outside from time to time. its all about separating imo, if you cant separate then it doesnt matter if youre 6'4 215 and if you can separate then it wont matter if you are 5'9 180. others will have different views on this than i do tho

[@gardenbox2577]

The Cooks->Flowers comp is perfect imo

I agree about Kayshon. As an LSU fan, it finally looked like he turned a corner by coming back. And then he left. However, his injury was just one year. He played I believe every game this year.

[@adverseinperpetuity]

You won a subscriber when you compared Addison to Diggs. Just for fun (and because I'm a Giants fan) I did a prospect WR prospect evaluation on my top 5 receivers. I said the exact same thing after watching Addison--he's a smaller Diggs. Haven't heard anyone else make this comp. Addison would be my WR1 if he was slightly bigger. His catch radius and ability to adjust to the ball mid-air is unreal. Route running is elite. My concern is he's a poor man's Devonta Smith. There are worse things, of course. I actually have JSN as my WR1. You hit on it a little bit but his elite burst is what sold me. That and his ability to make acrobatic catches. I like the AmonRa comp--I would say JSN is a more natural receiver if slightly worse athlete than ASB. Keep up the great content.

[@Smooth.Operator.]

Thoughts on Trey Palmer?

[@FalconsATL]

I think you’ve looked at my Madden 2023 Draft Class with these speed ratings! 🤣

[@aaronhubbard7]

Bro been watching you for years bro continue to do great job like you been doing

[@thomasredden4263]

Can’t wait til MHJ comes out next year, he’s one of the best prospects of the past few decades and has a good chance to be even more effective than his father was, and that’s saying something as for my taste he’s the 4th best receiver of all time behind Jerry Rice, Moss and Megatron when those two were locked in, but Harrison Sr. Was the most consistent dude for a decade, basically a lock to be out there almost every snap of every game of the season, quiet as a church mouse, just cooking defenders for a locked in 1400 yards and at least 12 Touchdowns. Jr has all the ball skills and route running of his dad with far better YAC ability and a better big play ability. He’s so natural at high pointing the ball and shined as the top dog while being the youngest dude in the best position room in the country (WR group at OSU). Dude is crazy special

[@ryanmart4525]

I usually don’t prefer usc WRs but Addison looks great overall a great player high points the ball and is sharp with his routes. Jaxon smiths route running doesn’t look great he seems sloppy at times but I still believe he’ll be good

[@bsewell513]

19:03 that’s why for guys like Hyatt just let them play the Z. There’s no need to let him struggle against press. Keep him in motion and give him free releases to use his speed. The great offensive coordinators should do that.

[@alexnitz9846]

Do u think Addison can play on the outside

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Absolutely
