2026 Draft: WR

 
 
 
Something I leaned today. Skyler Bell, the UConn WR, has 10" hands. That's the same size as DeAndre Hopkins. that helps explain his 3.8% drop rate and 65% contested catch rate on 102 receptions.
 
 
My only thing with Ted Hurst, as much as I like him, is that I think he's more of the same for us with Boutte and Williams. I really want a high volume catcher to be Diggs' replacement. I do like the sound of TEGGIE Virgil though
 
Challenge accepted.



The 2025 top 10


1. Kendrick Law - 9.5 yds/reception

2. Skyler Bell - 8.2 (big gap from Law)

3. Caullin Lacy - 8.0

4. Eric Mcalister - 7.9

5. Zachariah Branch - 7.8

6. Romello Brinson - 7.3

7. De'Zhaun Stribling - 7.3 (not planned I promise)

8. Omar Cooper Jr - 7.2

9. KC Concepcion - 7.2

10. Colbie Young - 6.4

I think you better talk to the OC and what's in his playbook first.
 

I like.
 

I’m not a smart man, but that seems hard to do. I also could be missing something
Perfect for the Jets. Their fan base would just accept that stat as a given.

Hurst seems like a faster George Pickens type receiver to me. Great body control and excellent YAC. He seems faster on tape, it’ll be interesting to see what he runs at the Combine or Pro Day. On video, he looks like he runs 4.4 or under.

That being said, he wouldn’t be a Boutte or a Williams, in that they are both shorter WRs. Hurst is 6’3”. His last two seasons at Georgia State, he played phenomenal.
