WR Traits
- Agility: Footspeed in release package, at the top of routes, and as a ball carrier.
- Speed: Top speed
- Change of Direction (COD): Ability to change directions without sacrificing speed
- Acceleration: Time to Top Speed
- Short Routes: Ability to separate on short routes: Slants, Sticks, Whips, Short Ins, Speed Outs, Etc.
- Intermediate Routes: Ability to separate on intermediate routes: Digs, Outs, Crossers, Hitches, Etc.
- Long Routes: Ability to separate on deeper developing routes: Posts, Go's, Corners, 15 Yard Comebacks, Double Moves, Etc.
- Release: Ability to separate from press-jam coverage
- Hands Consistency: Player's to avoid drops; players who are hands-catchers (not body-catchers) will receive higher grades
- Catch In Traffic: Ability to catch the ball through tight coverage and physical contact or to hold onto the ball in traffic after getting hit
- Catch Radius: Receiver's range to catch inaccurate passes, come down with low percentage catches, make spectacular catches along the sideline and/or high point the ball through leaping ability, reach, body control, and instincts.
- Run After Catch: Ability to quickly transition into a runner after the catch & to create difficult yardage after the catch
WR Role Fit
Alpha: Receiver with a chance, in a best case scenario, to be a scheme proof, true #1 Wide Receiver who can threaten to all three levels, running any route, from the the outside or from the slot. "Alpha Potential" will be noted when the player has a lot still to prove and work on in the league.
Ideal Architype: Justin Jefferson / Davante Adams
X: A big bodied, perimeter player who's #1 requirement is to work the sidelines and provide a large target for the Quarterback. The ability to play through physical coverage, win on stop routes, comebackers, backshoulders, and digs as well as to convert a high percentage of contested catches are requirements for players in this mold. The ability to stack corners vertically is a huge plus, but not a requirement.
Ideal Architype: Tee Higgins / Mike Evans
Route Runner: A receiver who's #1 quality is his ability to separate who coaches can rely on getting open early and often from various alignments and against any sort of coverage. Players in this mold must be able to separate from the slot, from the outside, short, intermediate, and deep... and against both press and off-coverage. Size, hands consistency, and perhaps run after catch are likely weaknesses in this players' games which keep him outside of the "Alpha" mold.
Ideal Architype: Jerry Jeudy / Tank Dell
Vertical: Traditional deep threat specialist on the outside, receiver who specializes in running Go's, Posts, and Stop routes.
Ideal Architype: Desean Jackson
Balanced: Effective receivers who lack true stand-out traits and ideal ways to utilize them but have good skill and, more importantly, a lack of true weaknesses in their game.
Ideal Architype: Keenan Allen
Slot: Receivers who will be best utilized from the slot who can become available for the Quarterback quickly by separating early or by finding soft spots in zones. Often smaller receivers who can be schemed out of having to face press coverage by playing from the slot, with motion, or from stacked alignments.
Ideal Architype: Julian Edelman / Amon-Ra St. Brown
Big Slot: Big bodied wide receivers who can play anywhere on the field but are at their best working the middle of the field with mismatch ability on Safeties and Linebackers as well as the toughness to attack balls in traffic in the intermediate middle and to create difficult yards after catch with a lower average depth of target.
Ideal Architype: Marques Colston / Cooper Kupp
Playmaker: Receivers who are excellent after the catch, but might need plays drawn up to scheme up touches due to a lack of route running or size to be consistent seperators.
Ideal Architype: Deebo Samuel - Sport

Just a couple typos/mispeaks:
- Adonai Mitchell Potential Grade should be an 88 not 86
- Odunze has a 77 Impact and 87 Potential Grade, not a 96 (forgot to update that from the Nabers Graphic)
- I said Legette is one of the best receivers in the NFL at throttling down/running stop routes, I meant in this class, not in the NFL
I believe you mentioned MHJ is "Half a foot taller than Odunze" Which I have to assume is a mispeak? Can you imagine a 6'8 MHJ?
lol
@@FatherelTV
@@FatherelTVthat would be amazing💀🤣
@@FatherelTV Johnny Wilson amirite
Roddy white great comparison
What’s better than a top 10 player rankings video? A top 15 player rankings video.
50% better even
YESSIR
@@brandontaylor8318math
lmfao
A less talking more highlights video
The SEC not allowing you to show film of my glorious king Ladd McConkey should be considered a crime 😭
Awesome video as always!!
Why are they not allowing him to show film of McConkey?
@@user-br5ku7zx8msec doesn’t like it when people show highlights of their players
MVH and Nabers feel like Julio and AJ Green back in 2011. One is slightly better but you would be fine with either
Odunze gonna be better than both. That’s my hot take
@@campscudder2541whatever makes you think that
I think he has special special ball skills and if he gets with a QB who isn’t afraid to put it up he will continue to dominate and win those 50/50 balls. Just a gut feeling. I’m better at telling you who won’t work and last year Quinton Johnston was so obviously a bust it wasn’t even funny. He had NO ball skills
I'm taking Julio, 9 times out of 10
I think it’s similar to 2014 as well where u have Nabers and OBJ who are just freaks after the catch, Odunze and Evans who are elite in 1 on 1 jump ball scenarios, and even though he never lived up to the hype (and MHJ will be a much better pro player) Sammy Watkins was seen as one of the greatest WR prospects ever at that time
I have genuinely been dying for some of this content, there so many CZcamsrs giving their prospect reviews BUT NO ACTUAL FILM IS SHOWN, TFG I need this channel to keep growing because this is the shit I need 🤣
TFG is by far my fave, but if you’re looking for other analysis channels that post film, here’s a couple I like:
-Alex Rollins
-Brett Kollman
-The Jumbo Package
-Thinking Football
-Billy Stephens
-The QB School
I’ll add more if I think of any
I think game footage from certain conferences gets claimed or striked (SEC specifically if I remember)
A big part of it is the NCAA are absolute babies and love copyright striking videos that use their film
@@ShrimShimI know about that part, SEC thinks they’re “gods gift to football” 🤣, I just mean most CZcamsrs at most put a picture of the player let alone all the grades and film, that’s why I love TFG
@@chaydaddy698 Not wrong at all, I'm just saying lots of the smaller ones are probly just scared to for fears of their channel being targeted. Its always great to see tho!
Cannot go understated how high quality these videos are. Excellent info. Thanks so much Marcus!
Regarding Keon Coleman: Steve and Sam from PFF made a point to say that according to their GPS tracking data, Coleman played much faster on the field than what he ran for his 40 at the combine
Accurate. He was also tracked at 20 mph during the gauntlet drill. He's tailor made as one of those big slots, like Jennings out of SF, and Lazzard.
@@zackhurwitz9441 nahh. lazard is not even good, nor a slot wr. Coleman is definitely a tee higgins (ceiling) or Kelvin harmon (floor) type of guy
I wonder if Brad Holmes believes. It would be awesome to see him catching from Jared Goff
@@ricardorivera7549 Lazzard is a big slot, basically functions as a TE. He was adequate as a 3rd-4th WR with Rodgers in GB.
He reminds me of the former Pittsburgh Panther Wideout Johnathan Baldwin who ended up being a bust for I forgot who in the league. He's that similar of a prospect. That or a Laquan Treadwell.
I was a little bored of draft content today watching a couple mocks.. then you post and it’s an instant watch. Thanks for the amazing graphics and your insights are always unique and well delivered
I wonder if Luther Burden next year is gonna be on that Nabers level of WR prospects. These guys just keep getting more and more talented. This class is so deep too. Could see as many as 20 guys go in the top 100 picks.
I think he might just be on a MHJ level if Mizzou keeps ascending
Burden needs to get a bit bigger to get into that territory.
@@jesot he’s listed at about the same size as Nabers.
@@wardog211hes referring to MHJ level and size
Burden if he can keep any injuries from lingering and taking him off the field for spells will be a top 10-15 pick next year. Dude is athletic, runs great routes, and is physical at the catch point. He isn't afraid of contact, or scared to come over the middle for a tough catch. I'd worry about his durability though as he's already been known to get dinged up a bit. A very talented receiver who has it all. He struggles with some of the more physically imposing defensive backs he matches with at the line of scrimmage though. He can get kind of lost when trying to get a good release if he's being jammed. If he puts another 10-15 pounds of muscle on his frame though, without sacrificing much of that athletic ability? He is going to be a damn good one. So will the Colorado Receiver Travis Hunter if he can keep the injuries from lingering as well. Hell Hunter could end up a great NFL Defensive back, or Wideout if he chooses to and stays healthy going forward. He's damn good and has the natural instincts to defend the pass, as well as find the open pockets, and find the openings in coverage for easy catches. He's a freak of nature all around.
Marcus, you put out THE MOST in-depth videos with cool graphics and lots of stuff for us to look at so that we can best understand your process. Thank you for the pride you put into your work and the commitment to excellence that you show in your videos. It does not go unnoticed.
Marcus man, mad props to you. These videos are so informative and well thought out. We can tell you put ur work in from production to the film room. Appreciate you.
I need to go sleep cause it's late here in Belgium but can't wait to come home tomorrow, lay up my feet and get fully into this. You make the off-season amazing, Marcus!
We appreciate all your hard work Marcus ❤
Love this. Been sticking with your draft content since 2018, and easily still the best in the business. Great work again Marcus!
Nabers has a unique ability to track the deep ball early and run through the catch. I also noticed in his highlights a few times he reads an underthrown ball and throttles down, using his back to wall off the defender and make an uncontested catch where most WRs would try to slam on the brakes, face up with defender and make a leaping contested catch. He turns 50% jump balls into uncontested catches and makes the throws look perfect.
deep class, couple more guys to watch, Ja'Lynn Polk / Jalen McMillan (Washington), Tahj Washington / Brenden Rice (USC), Joshua Cephus (UTSA)
Exactly!!!! Javon Baker too even Thrash
@@ChefReadyjavon baker is goated
Tez walker
This is a hell of a class... when you have a top fifteen list and don't have Tez walker , or jalen polk in it
Lol
Or Jalen Coker and David White jr the best route runners in draft
Awesome vid man as usual. As a Bears fan I really appreciate this tutorial.
Amazing video! We enjoy them being long and detailed
THANK YOU BEEN WAITING ON A POSITIONAL RANKING VIDEO SINCE THE END OF JAN LFG TFG
get him in the algorithm man LEAVE A LIKE ON THE VID
Love this series bro!!!!!
This was great Marcus, well done
Wow, newer to the channel really love the effort and energy that goes into the video.
Been waiting for this one! :)
The video we’ve all been waiting for. The best draft content bar none
So nowadays a 4.45 40 for a WR is B- speed? Crazy.
crazy how athletes evolve over time. im sure no one could fathom someone like wemby playing baskteball back in the 80s yet here we are.
They are much better at preparing these players for the 40 yd. dash.
Yeah this dude trippin, he said he didn’t have Justin Jefferson’s athleticism but Jefferson ran a 4.43 and had a shorter vertical
40s are cool to look at, but the gamespeed on tape is more important.
@@bofi1280 tru
Love it! Thanks for the insights
Love the video!!
Honestly I’d move Wilson up at least two spots. Hes such an incredible blocker on top of everything.
Great stuff Marcus!
Your top position reviews are as exciting (if not more) than any other offseason content. I always look forward to seeing these! I'm not sure if you call yourself an analyst, but you are far better at it than any other professional analyst at reviewing players. I hope you continue doing this for a long time to come.
Thank you!!! So kind
Nice job man!
I just got so excited when this popped up on my feed. ITS DRAFT SEASON BABY!
It feels like this WR class is gonna feed the depth at WR league wide for the next 10 years. There’s so many guys even outside of the top 15 I can see still making roles and sticking around
I agree it’s getting to the point where it feels like rb and wr are in the same boat you can find them anywhere
1. I've heard from Texas fans that Worthy played last year with a broken hand (UT doesn't release player medical info apparently).
2. It was really funny seeing the Troy Franklin truthers on X post-combine, they kept posting a gauntlet drill graphic in response to the clip of the Coleman and Franklin gauntlet drills where you're supposed to be drifting toward each pass/ hugging the line (what Coleman was doing) and claiming that Franklin ran the drill the best (even though he was doing the exact opposite of the graphic they were posting lol).
Like the fact you put video with commentary .. kudos
Bro…you’re awesome. This is really well done. And you do such a good job of giving an encouraging take and letting folks know you’re not taking shots at them, you’re just telling it like it is and how they can improve!
💪
No Polk is kinda criminal, but it is a good ranking overall
I’m a big Polk guy too but I’m just taking that as understanding how talented this WR class is
He’s gonna be starting somewhere. Sheesh this class is deep
Very criminal. Bro has such a high floor
That’s what I’m sayin I think Polk has X dare I say Alpha potential skills, he’s my Wr 5 if I’m being honest,he’s just lost in Odunzes shadow
Who would you drop from the rankings to make room?
I let out an audible “OOOOO” when I saw this was out today. Made my Tuesday TFG
Great breakdowns, as always, though I do think Roman Wilson is super underrated here (I would probably have him closer to 9 or 10 than 15, especially after his Senior Bowl and Combine performances) and Johnny Wilson being here at all without Ja'Lynn Polk here is kind of surprising. Would love to hear your thoughts as to your favorite landing spots for at least some of these guys, especially guys like Burton and J. Wilson that might need a more specific/refined landing spot to take full advantage of their skill sets.
Also love the Keon Coleman and Xavier Worthy breakdowns specifically. There is an inherent risk to being a one-dimensional WR in some aspect and I love that their issues were highlighted while still accentuating how they can succeed at the next level.
Really good/weird WR class… I love the top-3. And then there’s a massive drop off to the next 3 (AD/BTJ/Ladd) and then. A list of 12 guys who you could reasonably argue anywhere from WR7-WR19.
For example, you didn’t even mention Ja’Lynn Polk (my WR9) and Malik Washington (my WR11)
Good take on adonai Mitchell , the weaknesses you pointed out showed on the texas last drive vs wash in the redzone. Ewers tried to give him a few looks but he couldnt win his matchup.
McConkey is getting so overlooked in such a loaded class, glad to see you have him at 5. To me, he’s closer to Garret Wilson than Dionte Johnson just because he tested closer to Wilson but I love him as a player, I think he’s the 4th most sure WR in the class.
My fav prospect , seems like a sure thing
He might need to add ten pounds, but I don't see it affecting him much
Not even close to Garret Wilson. Wilson is a freak athlete. McConkey is not, but he is an excellent route runner, and has that backyard football mentality in the best way.
Comparing him to Garret Wilson is insane lol. Don’t see that at all
He tested the exact same at the combine, he runs just as good of routes. I said he's closer to Garret Wilson, not he is Garret Wilson. He has worse hands and had less production (that could be because the offense he is in) so he's not the same but he wins in a very similar way.@@Oreoluwa-ke5bp
RickyBobby and Xavier 2Legette2Quit are two of my favorite receivers on day two. Glad you’re giving them the proper respect they deserve. Count me in as a new subscriber.
What an excellent video, my friend! Thanks for the work and time you spend on your craft. It CERTAINLY pays off. Sorry the SEC won't let you be. :)
Didn't agree with all of it, but wow, what a complete and thorough breakdown dude. Thank you for your insight. Please, please, please, do another WR breakdown to include the best of the rest (I'm a huge Jalen McMillan fan and would love to see you put him through the paces).
Almost everyone I've seen comping Marv has said A.J. Green and as someone who is a Bengals fan, I fully agree. A.J. may have had slightly better speed, but everything else is just super clean and precise.
Yeah, AJ Green, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald are all guys who are similar to Marvin Harrison Jr as prospects at the time they were coming out. Julio Jones was a better prospect coming out though. Hands down for me due to his physical demeanor when battling Defensive backs in his routes. Both Julio, and AJ had similar durability issues for the majority of their careers though that Marvin Harrison Jr has already started showing. Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald were the same type of talents with much more durability.
love this but can I suggest maybe putting the percentages of where they lined up in college? as in the slot or outside? just a thought bro
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS.....I NOW AM A FAN!!!
I’m convinced you didn’t look at odunze’s numbers in the other combine drills. He’s a freak athlete
He didn’t Odunze’s speed score was like 7th of all players he’s an athletic freak
Definitely enjoyed the length!
Pause
@thatfranchiseguy would you consider blocking part of WR grades? Surely the teams are scouting and considering that
This video made my day
Great video
Another amazing tfg video he doesn’t miss
Yay! My favorite time of year!
Good stuff.
This class is loaded, Still got Ja'lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan sitting outside of the 15 as well. That's at least 17 NFL caliber guys in this class.
David White Jalen Coker
Coker and rice will be good to
U the 🐐 bro
Best video every year🎉
From a falcons fan heading into this offseason i'm really excited to see if we add one of these guys to the offense alongside Drake London and Kyle Pitts for whoever lays qb for us. Seems like the perfect year to add another guy into the mix without having to use high draft capitol if we don't want too.
AHHHHHH LETS GOOOOO THE GOAT IS BREAKING DOWN AN ALL TIME GREAT WR CLASS
I know the shrine bowl wasn’t great for Tez Walker, but he is going to be a difference maker in the league. he didn’t struggle much with drops in college and has great athleticism which will translate well
This is the best WR class I’ve ever seen.
Have you updated the board on a Patreon because the order is different over there
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! TFG Draft prospect rankings
Odunze is definitelyyyyy the ideal definitionnn of an alpha WR so idk man lol
Grading this WR class two years from now is going to be fascinating.
Yes another member of the Ladd fan club!
I actually have him as my WR4
Would you do a playmaker video?
I get it you have done the positions..
Just tryna eek out another positional video…
What about returner😲
dude that mcmillian kid from arizona (WR) is gunna be a stud. he definitely should enter the draft next year
I was just thinking about when this vid was gonna come out
I just finished the video and learned a lot outside of the top 3. But for Odunze, Nabers, and Harrison, this is what I've been saying and people think I'm crazy! I think Nabers is just on a whole other level. This dude is being overshadowed by MHJ and I think it's largely due to the name hype. Not a knock on MJH, but I think you said it perfectly when you said Harrison is very polished. You can tell how much work the man has put into his all of his attributes of receiver; he's left no stone unturned. But Nabers has that "it" factor that MJH doesn't have. He is just ELECTRIC. You can't teach raw athleticisim. I think all three recievers have great careers, but Nabers is the type of dude to play an elite level right away in the NFL, whereas the other two will maybe need more time to get comfortable to the change of speed and such. Anyway, I'm glad people are sleeping on Nabers. I'm putting money on him to have ROTY.
I find it funny bro did 15 instead of 10 cause it’s so many good weapons 😂😂🤣💯
So close to 100k, can't wait for it to happen.
TFG always brings a smart insightful football content. Props from the Brooklyn Zoo! #Commanders #HTTR4Oife
I was waiting for this man. KC needs at least 2 of these dudes on this list. We're starving for WR talent.
Yeah there’s a lot of great options but I’m one of the last on Skyy Moore island maybe I’m a fool but Ik what I saw on tape that dude can play just give him time
@@imhotepnixon wow. I actually agree lol. Skyy has very good burst of the line. That play where he routed up Derwin James was insane. I’m not a tape expert but someone I trust with that stuff said that he has a lot of wasted movements in his routes. He’s shimmy-ing up guys too much when he should giving them a quick shake and bake and keep it moving. Hope he proves it this year 🙏🏾🔥
kadarius toney. re-sign mvs. what more do they need?
@@YnknoWe need to upgrade at the Wr position.
No you don't, let the league breathe please 😂
Yep, we enjoyed the length!
So I have to ask because I am torn either way but if you were the Colts and Brian Thomas Jr and Brock Bowers are both there at 15 who are you taking
Can you explain how impact grade and potential grades work?
Find the video of Ladd against Ole Miss. Truly amazing as he has 3 guys spinning around and grabbing air. One of the most amazing highlights I've seen. This kid is so fun to watch.
I think with your description of Odunze he would be a perfect fit for the bears. Dj Moore is a Dionte Johnson type and Mooney is like a Marquis brown type. Odunze fits in nicely as a #2 on that team with Caleb at Qb in my opinion
mooney is not like brown
@@djcook fair enough, I didn’t think he was but for this example to work he needed to fit the profile. Maybe Tyler Scott is the Hollywood type.
i just found out about his channel about a month and a half ago but damn these videos are good
Thank you!
I’ve always wondered how you translate the individual trait grades into your accumulative grades with them both being on different scales.
I don't disagree with your ranking of Franklin in the second round, although i have him slightly higher, but dont agree with the reasoning. For me the size is the main concern, due to durability, press release and contested catching. He also isn't a burner down the field as you said, but i still think he seperates deep very well and consistently because of how he sets up defenders angles. I also think the c grade in yac is criminal. I see the same understanding of angles on his rac plays and he uses change of speed and subtle fakes extremely well to get defenders of balance. Saying all that is still think its hard to project all that translating because of the physicals, but i still think he is gonna seperate consistently in the nfl.
Love your content thank you :)
15 players is much appreciated and very necessary for this class
We can argue about the grades given, but I love the format, it’s like looking at player attributes in Madden lol
I respect your opinion, but again, have to disagree on Franklin, I think he’s a taller Devonta Smith, but I suppose time will tell. I just hope he ends up on a team with a solid QB
Can you do a top 10 in best seperater with WRs?
Johnny Wilson feels very Mike Evans to me. He's massive with a huge catch radius and tendency to get physical and push-off.
Johnny Wilson couldn't catch a fish in a bucket, let alone catch the pig skin
Based on the 40 and the simulcam comp between Xavier Worthy and John Ross I’d say Worthy deserves an A+ on Acceleration. He was yards ahead of Ross for the first 10 to 15 yards. Ross closed the gap at the end of the 40.
Good to see jmac Polk and thrash still criminally underrated
For Brian Thomas Jr, my comp for him is Tee Higgins. They are very similar in how they perform and the role they play. (part of the reason I think he'd be a perfect fit for the Bengals if they trade Higgins).
Keon Coleman plays really fast for his size. He carries his weight well. That be the danger with the combine. They don’t display 10 yard splits. I think he played slower at FSU than MSU. That’s why I’m not high on Travis at all though.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between brian thomas and terrace marshall/denzel mims? Those two are giving me pause about going crazy w the thomas hype
He's a lot faster and better against press would be the two things that stand out.
When you were plugging the patreon at the end I saw you gave Worthy a D run block grade and as a texas fan who watched him all 3 years I have to say despite his frame he blocks his ass off. Maybe it's just that big 12 corners hate to play run defense and also selective memory but I remember a lot of plays with Worthy holding blocks down the field clearing the way for Bijan and Roschon and Jonathan Brooks. I think against the perimeter corners he'll be matched up against he'll hold his own as a blocker.
Thanks for the comment! That's good to know, I didn't necessarily see that, but the grade is much more related to the play strength and the gap between Big 12 corners and NFL corners like you said.
hes tiny though
which receiver here fits best with the Eagles? I think we need to take advantage of this deep receiver class and get a real 3rd option. We looked terrible when AJ went down and need a real option in the slot. If we can get another impact receiver We will have the best offense in the NFL
Finally someone else sees it with Franklin
Absolute fool's gold
I know nabers is really good but what mhj and stroud were doing to Georgia last year is forever seared into my memory.
My dad flew through the Indy airport on Sunday and said he ran into Johnny Wilson and was stunned by how huge he was. Said he looked like a TE. I'll be interested to see how he pans out in the NFL.
Johnny Wilson is definitely a boom or ust risk to me... but a fallback strategy move to TE could potentially be incredible
