College WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona (1 Viewer)

I started off absolutely loving this guy, and maybe I still do. The NFL stock exchange pod pointed out how atrocious his separation numbers are. That's very very very concerning. They glossed over it a little, but look at high profile bust WR over the past few years. QJ, Treylon, Harry. You can even add some guys that we want to be difference makers, but pretty clearly aren't (but are fine fantasy WR) like Drake London. None were good at getting separation. They could out muscle/out jump/out athlete dudes that will go pro in something other than sports, and then they were YAC monsters. That doesn't always translate to big and strong and fast and freak athlete and on every PED you can think of NFL defenses.

Odunze had a similar, but not the same, knock on him last year. He was the opposite. Bad at contested catches. Then he became elite at that. I'll bet you that Tet ends up on my dynasty team, but I'm well and truly freaked out about it. Love the dude. Love the highlights. Love that he stuck it out with his high school buddies at AZ. Would LOVE if he showed some separation this year.

Edit: just saw he was compared to London earlier in the thread in a linked article. Didn’t do that intentionally. I see that as a big negative, not a positive.

Nice post. Personally I would draft one of the top RBs at 1.02 in a dynasty league. I expect Burden will go 1.01 as of today, but that could change.

Burden is still my WR1, but RBs may dominate the early half of Round 1 in fantasy drafts next season. Many things can (and will) change in the course of a season, but that appears where we are headed right now.
 
I have my 1 round devy draft next month and I have the 1.1 and 1.2 picks. He's on my list mainly because of rbs and committees.
 
6 receptions
208 yards
3 TDs

With 2:00 to go.

IN THE FIRST HALF.

Haven’t ever watched much Arizona ball, but they are now in the big 12 so here I am watching this great player. Just got targeted in the endzone again for a near long one. Should be a fun second half.

Wow. I’m sad, no shares in my DEVY leagues.

Jeepers. Another sick toe tapping catch.

Watching him. He’s got size and speed and hands.

His 3rd touchdown was an easy little slant and he just turned on the burners and made mere mortals out of three defenders.

40 yard TD

7 catches, 248 yards, 4 TDs.

The previous catch I mentioned was reversed for not controlling the ball all the way to the ground. Still a stellar looking athletic to-tapping “catch” reversed.
 
Highlights of an insane night

Looked like Kyler Murray throwing to Mike Evans out there. Arizona's 5'10 QB, Noah Fafita, can sling it. He's a fun college QB.

But T-Mac looks like the truth.

Caught his last pass with 13:30 left in the game. 303 yards, a career high.
Well, obviously his career high, right?? 303 Yards!!
303 yards only beats his previous game high by 37 yards (266).

Never draft out of need in either DEVY or Dynasty. Trade for need.
Great in theory, but not always in reality. Some leagues just dont trade much. I havent gotten a trade offer in about 3 years! I make more offers and trades than the rest of the league combined and it is still hard to make a trade.

Tetairoa McMillan is long and rangy, but is also more spry and agile than most his size. He's so good snatching the ball away from his body.

T-Mac started the year WR1 for me and last night (10/304/4) showed why.
 
He was really impressive! My only critique is that it was the Lobos. A CB fell down on the 79-yard TD. As a unit, they looked pathetic. Looking forward to seeing McMillan versus a more competitive defense.
 
Christian Williams
That Tetairoa McMillan clip going around is so much better with the all-22.

He settles in the first window before the instincts and QB chemistry take over. Really impressive stuff from Noah Fifita here, too.

True. Rule 1 is know your league. In my devy league there isn’t much trading and I because of it I lean wr. Also, maybe send more offers out. I just traded Edbuka for a 2026 first.

My devy league is like this. Nearly impossible to trade for a top 15 WR. I just traded Egbuka for a 2026 devy 1st. Most rankings still have Egbuka rated high and I’m not a believer.
 
Shut down by NAU with 2 catches for 11 yards.

Didn’t get to watch the game as I was at the TCU game. But my new shiny receiver prospect may not be as shiny as we thought.
 
Elite Drafters
Tetairoa McMillan with a strong overall game tonight.

At 6’4 210 he is an elite alpha WR. Showcasing himself as a complete WR1, here are his first half plays.

Tetairoa McMillan

138 yards, 11 catches

Elite hands on full display with this one handed grab ruled out of bounds. Tet is dominant when it comes to contested catches and win rate.
 
I watched that game. McMillan looked great. However, WVU’s secondary seemed to lose him in coverage on a few plays. A couple of his big catches might as well have been like pitch & catch throws in practice. Busted coverages jacked up his stats including his TD reception. The stats count the same but I’m not sure what he put on tape is as impressive as the stat line.
 
Common comparison is Drake London.

Could be in NE's strike zone somewhere in the top 10.
London feels closer to his floor in my opinion. I wouldn't blink an eye if McMillian went #1 overall, but I also am not blown away by this QB class, and actually like Milroe the most of them.

I could see Brandon Marshall (without the character concerns) as a comp for McMillian.

I have a team that should compete next year, holding nothing but CMC and a lot of fading hope at the RB position. Pretty well stocked at WR. A couple of draft picks in the 1.3 to 1.5 range in a 1QB. It's not a fair expectation, but I think I'm really going to have to believe in a realistic shot at Mike Evans upside to throw a 1.3 at him, even though Drake London or even Pittman as a floor is nothing to sneeze at.

If you told me I was getting B Marshall screwed together right as a middle outcome, sign me up. Thinking that's probably a more realistic ceiling than Evans, and not sure I will be able to abstain from double-dipping at RB if that's the case. I'm hoping for a lot clarity for Tet and Hunter between now and August. I might have dire need for RB and there will definitely be some nice options, but I also don't want to pass on a 10-year stud WR if either guy can get there.
 
Think you could easily argue every team in the current top 10 draft order could draft him. Sure plenty of them have other needs but the QB’s arent exactly standouts this year.
 
Elite Drafters
Tetairoa McMillan is trending to be the no. 1 WR for the 2025 class with a great floor.

Tet's final grade is an 88.80 overall grade.

This is good for "Elite" Tier.

Since 2018 only 13 WRs have graded out in the 88th percentile or higher in my model. Currently there is a 92.3% hit rate for those WRs to finish as top-24.
 
Drake London seems to be the NFL comp I keep seeing. To me, watching his film, he seems faster than London was in college. I also worry about him playing against lesser defenses, and at the same time, he is exiting to watch on film (gets open, is smooth in his movements, and has burst). I would put him in the mix of RBs and Ward/Sanders I will be considering with a top 5 rookie pick.
