WR Scouting Reports - 2025
Bird’s Eye View: Positional Analysis
The 2025 WR class does not quite measure up to last year's class but there still more than two dozen draftable WRs in this year's class led by Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona), a big, strong, physical, and surprisingly agile WR in the mold of future Hall of Famer Mike Evans. Six other WRs could go in the first round in Green Bay - Luther Burden(Missouri), Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State), Jayden Higgins (Iowa State), Xavier Restrepo (Miami, Fl), and Isaiah Bond & Matthew Golden (Texas). And this is not even counting the most dynamic athlete to enter the NFL in years - Travis Hunter (Colorado), who is listed amongst the CBs in this database, who could go first overall in April.
