Top 3 Wide Receivers that Went Yesterday
Here was what we discussed for the top WRs that ended up going in day 2.
Denzel Boston | Washington
Boston is a skyscraper with great hands, measuring 6-foot-4 and 209 pounds. He played behind future NFL draftees Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk, and even Germie Bernard, but when it was his time in the spotlight he caught 62 balls for 881 yards and 11 scores. He regularly uses his large frame to haul down contested catches. His 76 score in the Rookie Super Model puts him in a range with some solid prospects, though some are not sold on him and have him pegged for Round 3. Here's what Dwain McFarland had to say in his Rookie Super Model profile:
He finished his career with a 12.7 aDOT (58th percentile) and worked from a wide alignment on 84% of snaps. Boston's 5.0 YAC average was -0.3 yards over expected, but he was a strong contested-catch player. The tall (6-foot-4), long-armed (32 inches) WR came down with 61% of his contested targets. His drop rate of 2.5% was well below the 5% average for a prospect since 2018.
Chris Bell | Louisville
At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, Bell looks similar to A.J. Brown in overall build. He's also a YAC monster once he gets the ball in his hand, leaving many defenders in his trail. He did suffer a torn ACL late in the season, so he missed the combine and all the normal draft preparation. He could miss time at the start of the seasdon, but once he's 100% his new team will get a player who in his final year with Louisville he drew exactly 10 targets a game. He finished with 72 catches for 917 receiving yards and 6 TDs. Dwain McFarland said this in Bell's Rookie Super Model profile.
Bell played with some highly lauded recruits, but none of them turned out to be future NFL stars, making it hard to excuse his 0.43 and 0.99 RYPTPA marks in his first two seasons.
In his third season, he averaged 57 YPG with 4 receiving TDs, notching a 1.72 RYPTPA. His best season came as a senior when he delivered a 2.47 RYPTPA. Before a late-season ACL injury, Bell averaged 83 YPG and scored 6 TDs on a career-high 30% target share (64th percentile).
Germie Bernard | Alabama
Bernard is a playmaker, as he lined up all over the field for Alabama HC Kalen DeBoer, who also coached him at Washington before the coach was hired at Tuscaloosa. Bernard did damage in the slot, out wide and even took some carries out of the backfield. With this blend of talent he could really make his mark at the next level. Bernard could fit into so many different offenses and make an impact from Day 1 as a Round 2 pick. Dwain McFarland provided this insight on Bernard in his Rookie Super Model profile:
Bernard's third year, his first at Alabama, was his best. He averaged 61 YPG with a 2.22 RYPTPA. He scored only 2 TDs that season but had a 22% target share. In his final season with Alabama, he notched a 1.75 RYPTPA with 62 YPG and 7 TDs. He matched his previous season 22% target share.
He can also add value as a rusher. He ran for 184 yards and 5 TDs (71st percentile) over his career. That TD mark is the third-best for a WR since 2018.Â
