This year’s receptor harvest is not as talented as in 2024, when three were recruited in the first 10 teams and 16 in the first 100 selections. However, there are still many talented passengers in this year’s draft that will have an impact on their rookie seasons.
Because it is classified as a defensive back, Travis Hunter is not included in this list. But it would not be a surprise if the Colorado product had a significant impact for a team that could use another weapon on the offensive, such as the Cleveland Browns, who have no. 2 General selection.
Here is a look at 10 of the main receiver perspectives in this year’s draft and what teams would be good for their skills.
The best adjustment: Cowboys at number 12 in general
Width receiver room: Incoming – Ceedee Lamb, Jalen Tolbert Reservations -Kavontae Turpin, Parris Campbell, Jonathan Mingo, Ryan Flournoy, Jalen Brooks, Seth Williams, Jalen Moreno-Cropper, Kelvin Harmon
According to Fox Sports NFL Jordan Schultz, McMillan had a previous visit to the Draft with the cowboys. The 2 feet 4 and 219 pounds would be a good complement to Ceedee Lamb as a great bydiver that can win on the perimeter and make plays in the middle of the field. Dallas’s new chief coach Brian Schottenheimer has succeeded with larger receptors through his career as NFL coach, including DK Metcalf with Seahawks, Kenny Britt with the Rams and Braylon Edwards with the Jets. McMillan was very productive in Arizona, finishing his career with 213 receptions for 3,423 yards and 26 touchdowns.
The best adjustment: Broncos at number 20 in general
Width receiver room: Incoming – Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr. Reservations – Devaughn Many, Troy Franklin, Trent Sherfield Mr., in Perry, Michael Bandy
Golden, who had a previous visit to the Draft with Denver, would give the chief coach of the Broncos and the offensive guru Sean Payton another piece of chess for the second year marshal of the second year Bo Nix. Golden’s Electric of 4.29 seconds of 40 yards takes its attention and shows its potential as a vertical threat at the next level. But even more impressive is its ability to constantly create separation in confined spaces, particularly against the defense of man in the red zone.
The best adjustment: Packers at number 23 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed Reservations – Christian Watson, Mecole Hardman, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo melton, Malik Heath, Cornelius Johnson, Tulu Griffin, Julian Hicks
The most complete receiver in this year’s draft, the Egbuka brain is a polished road corridor with excellent hands that will fit well in any offensive scheme. But specifically for Packers, Egbuka would be a reliable slot receiver for Jordan Love who can also do it as a blocker in the race game. The Packers will be without the duration of Christian Watson the first half of the year while recovering from a LCA injury, so Egbuka would help fill the void. The general manager of the Packers, Brian Gutekunst, attended the professional day of Ohio State and had Egbuka for a previous visit to the Draft. Green Bay has not written a receiver in the first round since he selected Javon Walker at number 20 in general in 2002, but could break that trend here with Egbuka.
The best adjustment: Texans at number 25 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Nico Collins, Christian Kirk Reservations – John Metchie, Tank Dell, Justin Watson, Braxton Berrios, Xavier Hutchinson, Johnny Johnson, Jared Wayne, Xavier Johnson
With Dell, recovering from a terrifying knee injury suffered at the end of last season, Burden would give Houston another weapon that can create plays after capture and victory in the red zone, such as what Debeo Samuel did for the San Francisco 49ers in a similar offensive. With its speed of 4.40 and elusivity, the load can also be effective in the return game.

The best adjustment: Raiders at number 37 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Jakobi Meyers, tre tucker Reservations – Kristian Wilkerson, Alex Bachman, Kyle Phillips, Shedrick Jackson, Ramel Keyton, Jeff Foreman
Pete Carroll likes to have a large body receiver in the perimeter that can win vertically and make captures disputed over the middle of the field. DK Metcalf, Sidney Rice and Mike Williams served that purpose for the oven led by Carroll the years in Seattle and the USC. Higgins would add another game creator for the new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and Campo Mariscal Geno Smith in a Las Vegas offensive that needs to get pressure from the closed wing Brock Bowers to do everything in the air game.
The best adjustment: Loaders at number 55 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Ladd McConkey, Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston Reservations – Derius Davis, Jalen Reagor, Brenden Rice, Jaylen Johnson, this Fitzpatrick
A hard -minded physical receiver that can win in the middle of the field and make plays after capture, Bech adjusts to the mold of the Jim Harbaugh player. A blocker arranged, Bech can do the dirty work in the offensive based on the career of the offensive coordinator Greg Roman and would provide another reliable objective for Field Marshal Justin Herbert.

The best adjustment: Panthers at number 57 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette. Reservations – David Moore, Jordan Matthews, Dan Chisena, Dax Milne, Jalen Coker, Brycen Tremayne, Tj Luther
Thielen turns 35 in August and Legette needs to show a leap in development after an unequal performance in his rookie season. Noel, with its 4.37 40 and the elusivity after capture, would provide Carolina with another dynamic option capable or generating great plays for the field marshal Bryce Young. The Big 12 Couthing Teams of the year could also contribute as a return.
The best adjustment: Commanders at number 61 in general
Width receiver room: Incoming – Terry McLaurin, Debo Samuel and Noah Brown Reservations – Luke McCaffrey, Michael Gallup, Kj Osborn, Chris Moore, Lawrence Cager, Mike Strachan, Demetric Felton, Kazmeir Allen
Washington is shooting for the Super Bowl after advancing to the NFL championship game in the rookie season of the Jayden Daniels field marshal. The commanders have already added a dynamic player in Samuel through trade. However, the South Carolina product, 29 has trouble staying in the field due to injuries, so Harris would provide another explosive games creator who can do something after capture like Samuel. Harris had a previous visit to the draft with the commanders. The injury history is a group.
The best adjustment: Santos at number 71 in general
Width receiver room: entrants – Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks Reservations – Cedrick Wilson, Veuss Jones, Dante Pettis, Bub Media, Mason Tipton, Kevin Austin
The new chief coach Kellen Moore could use another creator of games in the offensive for Derek Car or who aligns as the titular field marshal. Shaheed is working from a knee injury last season and Olave lost the games in 2024 due to problems of brain shock. While playing a minor competition at the Mountain West conference, Royals is a highly qualified receiver with good hands that can make great plays and captures played in the middle of the field. It should become a reliable possession receiver at the next level.
Quite in shape: Seahawks at number 92 in general
Width receiver room: entrants -Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Márquez Valdes-Scantling Reservations – Jake Bobo, Cody White, Dareke Young, River Cracraft and Steven Sims Jr.
Seattle must replace the great lost production with Metcalf exchanged to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the launch of veteran Tyler Lockett. The incorporation of KUPP and Valdes-Scantling helps to fill the void, but adding a weapon like Williams would add some juice to the Seattle air game that could help the new field marshal Sam Darnold. With its time of 4.40 40 yards in the combine scouting of the NFL, Williams could serve as a deep threat very necessary to stretch the defense of Seahawks.
