Jonah Coleman gets the spotlight early as the “safe” profile. They like the compact power, reliable vision, and real three down utility thanks to pass protection and receiving ability. The big question is the top end speed, and they note how much testing could impact draft capital and landing spot.
Undersized pass catchers and upside swings
Emmett Johnson brings production and real receiving volume, but the discussion centers on whether the athletic ceiling is high enough for more than a role player outcome. Jaydn Ott is a tougher eval, since the most relevant production is further back and the recent usage makes the projection messy.
They get noticeably more excited when they hit Mike Washington Jr., who flashes size, speed, and legitimate pass catching upside. The concerns are pass protection and ball security, plus the idea that the “value window” may be gone now that more people are caught up to him.
To close, Seth McGowan is framed as a unique late dart with NFL traits but plenty of red flags, while Kaelon Black is viewed as an older, average profile without a clear fantasy path.
