Dynasty - 2021 Prospect Sage Surratt (1 Viewer)

[Zyphros]

Found another favorite for 2021 class. His name is Sage Surratt. Definitely wins the cool name award.

He sat out of the 2020 season so it's even more important I think to get a good gauge of where he was in 2019. He played only 9 games, went over 1000 yards and 11 TD's. 

The thing that popped the most when I watched a few games of his 2019 are his hands, he snatches the ball easily. Very smooth type of runner as well. Definitely isn't that fast but he uses nuance the way that Keenan Allen does, just smart knowing how to set up defenders and create space. He's not slow, and he's decently quick so we've seen those types work a lot. Tyler Boyd and Adam Thielen being other examples that do that without great speed and more nuance. As of now he's my WR10 for 2021. This class looks so good at WR.

With how amazingly well this year's rookie class has played, it's hard to believe next year's class can be as good.  But maybe - I always keep an open mind.7

2. Stock Down: WR Sage Surratt, Wake Forest

The Wake Forest offense badly misses Sage Surratt, who opted out of the season and declared for the 2021 NFL draft, but because of his early declaration, scouts have time to fully evaluate the big-bodied receiver. That's what I've been doing, and Surratt leaves me questioning his ability to separate against NFL defenders.

So many of his catches are contested, which it's nice to see him attack and win at the catch point, but you have to question why he's always in traffic and not making plays in space. Could it be scheme? Absolutely, but the more likely issue is a 6'3", 215-pound receiver who isn't running away from ACC coverages.

Wake Forest redshirt junior WR Sage Surratt opted out of the fall season to begin prep for the 2021 NFL Draft.

While we have yet to see any sort of mass exodus of quarterbacks when it comes to opt outs, it's a different story with receivers. Surratt (6'3/215) is just the latest wideout to say no mas to the coming campaign, joining Minnesota's Rashod Bateman, Purdue's Rondale Moore and Colorado State's Warren Jackson among the major names at the position who are now prepping for the draft. For his part, Surratt logged a slick 66-1001-11 receiving line last season (even despite missing multiple games due to injury) and could potentially land as a Day 1 selection in the spring should the evaluating process break right for him. Surratt, Bateman and Moore are all potential first-round picks.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller writes that "[w]ere it not for another dominant group of SEC receivers in the 2021 class," Wake Forest redshirt junior WR Sage Surratt would be in serious contention for WR1.

"As a redshirt sophomore (in 2019), [Surratt] tore up the field with big-time power and physicality in his routes and after the catch," Miller writes of the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder, later adding that Surratt's "play above the rim" traits were the best he's seen in his early film watch for the prospective 2021 receiver class. Miller ranks Surratt as the No. 14 player for next spring on his latest big board. And man is he gaga compared to one of his fellow evaluators. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. not only opts to keep Surratt out of his own big board, he also does not list him among the top six receivers in the class. Last season, Surratt posted a 66-1001-11 receiving line, this even despite missing multiple down-the-stretch games due to injury.
