2026 Draft: WR

[mayoclinic]

And Tyson. If Bell continues as he is, a GM could be deciding between the three in the top 15.

And Lemon.

I see Tyson/Lemon/Tate going top 15 right now. Bell or Boston could move into the top 20. All good, different styles.

I think Boston is losing out to the others because of relative lack of production. Lemon may lose out to Tate/Bell and Tyson because of height. He won't fall that far though.

He's a different style, but his film is too good to overlook.

Big test for Lemon today. He's being guarded by the best CB in CFB, Leonard Moore.

The ultimate compliment, from James Foster:



Still WR1 in what is looking to be a better-than-predicted class.

His smoothness is what really stood out to me when I watched him and I did think about Jefferson. There's been some good competition for that WR 1 spot, particularly from Carnell Tate but I do think it's still Tyson. Watching him take over the final drive to beat Texas Tech was impressive.

Cooper has been under the radar. He is very dynamic and explosive. My Tony Horton.

Fernando Mendoza hits Omar Cooper Jr. on a 48-yarder, perfectly hitting him in stride to give Indiana a 28-10 lead over Michigan State.

Dane Brugler's top 4 WRs

Jordan Tyson - Thinks he's happy with his pre-season ranking at 12

Carnell Tate - Has moved him up into the top 25

Makai Lemon - ditto

Chris Bell - Say's he still has him ranked at his pre-season spot of 25 but the fact that he hasn't moved up is not a reflection on his performance, just that his pre-season ranking had Bell's level of performance baked in as a projection.

Say's Denzel Boston is a top 50 pick.

Also wanted to shout out Germie Bernard - "not exceptional at anything, but good at everything. Will help an NFL team for a long time".

Nothing earth-shattering but I always pay attention to Brugler.

Says he doesn't feel great about them as top 10 picks. He didn't mention Chris Brazzell.

I think that is the correct top 4 right now, with Boston and Brazzell next.

Tyson is still #1, but Lemon, Tate and Bell have all taken huge steps forward.

I personally like Tyson much more than #8 overall Tetairoa McMillen from 2025. Can see him as a top-10 pick. I think he also holds up with #10 overall Rome Odunze from 2024 (and I loved Odunze). He's very smooth.

I think Lemon and Tate both go top-20 in a WR-hungry league. Maybe top-15. Going into the season I felt Tate was a poor man's Emeka Egbuka, but he's really taken his game to the next level. They are both just very, very good.

I think Bell will definitely go in the top-40, with top-25 quite likely.

Very solid quartet.

I think Germie Bernard will be a Diggs-like WR.

Connor Rogers had an interesting comp. Jarvis Landry. He's maybe not as quick twitch as Diggs, but I see where you're coming from.

 

[manxman2601]

Oklahoma WR Isaiah Sategna always stand out when I watch Oklahoma. He's probably not for us as a 5'10" 185 slot WR but he's lightning fast. Redshirt Junior so may declare.

Just scored on a 72 yard TD catch and run.

Making John Mateer look good.

Carnell Tate has a very polished, nfl-ready game in all respects: route running, footwork, hands. He will step in and produce day 1.

He has upped his game considerably. I think he could be even better than Emeka Egbuka.

Crazy eh: it seems like Emeka Egbuka is better than Harrison Jr. Emeka Egbuka looked ok in College but what a Pro player: I didn't expect him to perform the way he currently is: really happy for him. I remember a Poster hyping him during the Draft process: but I didn't see it at the time but they were right.
