2026 Draft: WR

[manxman2601]

Look at no 4 in this list of fastest college players

Emeka Egbuka (7-173) and Jaxon Smth- Njigba (8-132) = Makai Lemon.

I was a huge Egbuka fan. I think I mentioned in one of your pre-draft threads that he would be my choice for a slight trade up back into the first, or my first target as a faller into the 30s, so that's high praise. I need to watch more of his games.

If you get the chance, watch the game against Illinois. I can provide a YouTube link if you want it. He was fire in that one.

The big alpha-x types have been less impactful so far in the NFL. It's all about separation and route-running.

Another WR I'm starting to fall for is Texas A&M's KC Concepcion. I first watched him against Notre Dame and he was really impressive. What I liked was his ability to jump for the ball and high point it, something he did a couple of times in that game which makes his 5"11" more like 6'1" or 2".

He's a bit of a cross between Makai Lemon (route running and separation) and Kyle Williams (explosion and speed).

I've gone from being a bit of a hater of this WR class to falling in love with it. It's as good as, or even better, than last year, particularly on days 1 & 2.

I could get on board with KC Concepcion day 2.

I could get on board with KC Concepcion day 2.

The round 2 options last year were Jayden Higgins, Luther Burden, Tre Harris, Jaylin Noel, Kyle Williams and Jack Bech. I think this years options are looking better than that.

The leap is impressive.

If Domonique Orange is big citrus, is Makai Lemon Little Citrus?

 

[manxman2601]

Chris Brazzell running routes. The first one is unplayable. It's hard to see how he's not a first rounder when all is said and done. 6'5", runs crisp routes, beats press, high points the ball and has speed for days. He may even be WR1 by the time the draft rolls around.

This is awesome. James Foster breaking down Jordyn Tyson

I finally found a cut up of Lemon's game against Illinois. When you watch it, keep in touch with the score. Lemon put the team on his back and almost dragged them to victory. If it wasn't for a called back penalty and three bad throws from the QB, it would have been an even more legendary performance than it already was.

Watching it live, this was one of my favourite performances I've ever seen.

Definitely a top-100 player.

Reminds me of Steve Smith.

I can see the Pats picking at 16

I will be so pissed if they take a WR in the middle to top of the 1st. If they are drafting in the 20's-30's I could deal with it. Currently I do not think a WR helps the team the most so not a huge need pick nor do I feel that WR will be BPA

Denzel Boston had a 5-98-2 day last night. Ian Strong went 7-127-0 and has had a 109+ yard game in every game bar one this season.

Malachi Fields? He's not the finished product those others are but he has some fairly unique traits. If it clicks for him, there's a lot of upside there. He's not rounds 1-2 worthy but late day 2, early day 3 might be decent value. I wouldn't put him ahead of any on that list though.

The other two I'd have are Elijah Sarratt of Indiana and Bryce Lance of ND State.

Bryce Lance is a late round pick for me. He is so slow to get out of his breaks.
