2026 Draft: WR

The arm and hand measurements from the Senior Bowl haven't been released but Todd McShay says that Ja'Kobi Lane's hands measured at 10 3/8". I do like big hands on a receiver.

Malachi Fields had small-ish hands at 8 3/4"

Ted Hurst is intriguing with 33" plus arms according to McShay as did Caleb Douglas of Texas Tech.
Love em all.
 
@manxman2601 I'm a Huge fan of Ja'Kobi Lane's what was his real measurements height wise??
 
Lewis Bond, WR, Boston College 5'11, 197

Saw him being talked about as a potential Senior bowl riser and had a look at his stats. Impressive.

88 catches
993 yards
4 drops on 112 targets
80% contested catch rate

He broke Zay Flowers BC career record.
 
This is a nice rep from Ted Hurst

 
Future Diggs replacement?

 
Is he worth a 1st/high 2nd?
That's the issue. Probably not for us. However, if we sign a good FA edge rusher, I do think that opens things up.

Edit: Imagine this scenario

1. Sign a quality FA edge rusher
2. Trade back from 32, pick up a 3rd
3. Pick Williams high to mid 2
4. Draft a RT at 64
5. End up with 2 3rds and 2 4ths.

I could live with that.

1. Who?
2. Ok with trading back if top targets not available, though would still go EDGE or OL if one is
3. Would still target EDGE/OL ahead of WR if we trade back
4. Not sure if a worthy RT will be available at 64; pretty sure a good WR or DB will be.
5. Love the 2 3rds and 2 4ths part.

1. I'm no pro scout, but Odafe Oweh had more sacks than Landry.
2. I'm specifically addressing whether there's value in taking Williams as a future Diggs replacement. I didn't say it's my preferred option.
3. See above
4. Well DJ has 11 WRs in his top 50 so I'm not convinced. Maybe. We don't need a starting OT, just a developmental one. Barber, Crownover, JC Davis and Bowry could all fit.
5. Me too.
 
Ted Hurst check the boxes.
When do we take take Hurst manx?? My Favorite two WR's are Ted Hurst love his height and Omar Cooper plays Bigger than his size.
