2025 Draft: WRs

I'm listening to an All 32 video on Youtube with Mike Giardi. Giardi says Tet Mcmillan has told team he will not run at the Combine OR his Pro Day, and it's not injury-related. He's heard rumors of him running in the 4.7s in the 40. Screw that. He needs to bulk up and hopefully he'll be a decent TE. But he's way off my board.
If you watch McMillan and come away with the idea that he should be a TE, I really don't know what to say.

But that should concern everyone about Hunter then because Hunter couldn't guard him without holding him.
 
Ricky White - Pat Bryant didn't run as fast as they play 4.61 40 times each. Day 3 now @Steve102.
 
That guy below wasn't talk about looks like he could translate from the Slot: some of our Scouts are sleeping. Very Fast player too unlike the Tortoise Restrepo.

 
I see people refer to our WRs as slow all the time based on the 40 time, so I wanted to take a look at some relevant speeds(MPH) at various increments. I wanted to see if our WR's are actually slow or if the narrative is skewed based on a 40 time. I looked at our 4 vs 4 guys that I like.

Not all 40 times are built the same. I question some of the electric timed times (WTF are you saying Denny), Pop had a faster 5yd and 10yd MPH than Golden but Golden had a faster 10 yd time. That leads me to believe that Pop did not have an efficient start, so while I love the 10 yd split I prefer raw MPH because that takes out the imperfect start from a track stance (clock starts on first movement.

Polk had the slowest top speed during the 40 yd run, but was the 3rd fastest MPH to the 10yd Mark. Baker hit 23.37 MPH as did DK, but DK had a much better 40 time.

This info could also indicate which WR might do better on certain routes, Notice that Thornton finished the 40 at his top speed so post, go balls and deep corners might be his thing because he did not slow down between the 30 and 40 like everyone else did.

What I realized most is that it is shocking that I found a woman to marry me. I am such a nerd.

If you can't find definitives in a pile of data, you're better off out in the sunshine with your girl.

He's in that same group with Tez. Just not versatile enough for me.
What versatility do you need from a big tall WR with excellent speed and outstanding catch radius?
