WR Scouting Reports - 2024
Bird’s Eye View: Positional Analysis
The 2024 WR class offers both tremendous top end talent but also fantastic depth where future starters are likely to be found in the later rounds and amongst the UDFA that will fall through the cracks in April in Detroit. Three WRs are likely to hear their names called amongst the first ten picks (Harrison, Nabers, Odunze) and as many as eight (Coleman, Mitchell, Worthy, Thomas, Legette) may be selected in round one. This class also has a great group of slot receivers, led by Roman Wilson (Michigan), Ladd McConkey (Georgia), Tulu Griffin (Mississippi State), Jha'Quan Jackson (Tulane), Jacob Cowing (Arizona), and Anthony Gould (Oregon State).
