2026 Draft: WR

[DoubleDeluxe]

@dliverey44 sorry you know I don't mix positions quite biased at a certain position too.

Maybe he can be a big slot WR

Potential UDFA Alert (with a Patriots sounding name)

Treyvhon Saunders, Colgate, 5-10, 190lbs

Came on my radar because he ran a 4.40 at today's Syracuse pro-day.

Only played 6 games this past season because, presumably, he had an injury. However, in those 6 games he went 49-700-6TDs including 13 for 223 against Monmouth.

In 2024 - 88 catches for 830
In 2023 - 68 - 854.

He's a productive bugger. Slot only though.

Chism Jr?? He looks just as slow.

I think Chism ran a 4.7 if I remember correctly.

Yeah he really showed it on Ko's.

Sorry, I can't say one without the other. LOL

My main issue with Boston is that I have Chris Bell and Ted Hurst graded higher than Boston as X receivers, and both may be available later.

My take on the X:

Group A: 3 starters:

1a. Ted Hurst
1b. Chris Bell (would be 1a if not for injury)
3. Denzel Boston

Group B: 4 guys with starter potential but who I'm personally not that high on or who scare me:

- Chris Brazzell
- Ja'Kobi Lane
- Malachi Fields
- Bryce Lance

Group C: Developmental guys who probably won't contribute much right away, but who have a ton of upside:

- Jeff Caldwell
- Josh Cameron
- Reggie Virgil
- J. Michael Sturdivant
- CJ Daniels
- Eric McAlister

For me, I don't touch group B before the 4th round, and likely go from Group A to Group C.

Obviously, if you feel differently about the Group B guys, that changes the picture considerably.

I also prefer Chris Bell to Boston and would rather buy the dip given the injury. Could get him with a small trade up from 63. Boston scares the hell out of me. Not quite on Brazzell levels but I’m not keen at 31.

 

[mayoclinic]

I wouldn't be keen at all on Boston at 31. Would be ok with him around 40-50, but would still rather have Bell or Hurst.

Brazzell physical ability and skills definitely there.

I'd take him at 63.

I REALLY like Noah Short as the new Slot Receiver/Kick Returner for the Pats in the 6th or 7th round.

Does an "X" that works out, but doesn't run the 40 scare anyone?

It does a bit but then you just have to go back to the tape. I think the record setting at the combine is scaring agents who know their clients can't compete against those numbers and, while I think teams won't care that much, the agents are scared of the narrative that will surround their client.

What was his 40 time??
