Elite Drafters
Assuming Tet McMillan is a top 10 pick and Burden is not….
IF Emeka Egbuka is a top-15 pick in NFL Draft, then he is arguably WR1 of 2025 class in my model.
IF Burden and Emeka are both picked in the 15-20 range, Tet will be WR1, Emeka WR2, and Burden WR3.
Bottom line is if Emeka is a top-20 pick we should take notice.
Elite Drafters
2025 WR Class
1. Tet McMillan - 88.8
2. Emeka Egbuka - 83.7
3. Luther Burden - 82.8
4. Tre Harris - 80.0
Based on current consensus draft capital.
I can’t wait for the 2025 NFL Draft. Many implications.
Draft capital is the best predictive metric for WR success in NFL.
The draft pick of these top-4 WR of this 2025 class will have a heavy impact. Their profiles are all very close and we could have Emeka Egbuka as high as WR1 and Tre Harris as high as WR2 when it’s all said and done from a model standpoint.
No one is making this point in the community yet based on the data it may end up being the reality.
From a model perspective…
Tre Harris will likely land in the Elite Tier which has 67% hit rate.
Golden in Elite Lite Tier which historically has a 43% hit rate.
Significant tier drop after top 4 WRs of Tet, Emeka, Burden, Harris who are all elite tiers. There are scenarios where one or two of them can sneak into Elite+ tier which has 90% hit rate based on how draft capital plays out.

Want to see QB’s Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Shough, and Cam Ward all actually THROW at the scouting combine. They will all be in the same group, all throwing to receivers that they aren’t familiar with…which allows the cream to rise to the top. Great QB’s get on the same page fastest with unfamiliar receivers.
This needs to happen.
roger n
I saw Tyler Shough vs ND.. dude gonna be a year one impact rookie . Louis your the first analyst I’ve seen talking about him
Louis Riddick
Tyler is legit. Saw him live 2x this fall. Those who don’t know will know soon.
Hated hearing him say that today about Blue.Nick Farabaugh
Daniel Jeremiah points out Texas RB Jaydon Blue and UCF RB R.J. Harvey as two running backs who could be gems in the third round or later.x.com

Xavier Restrepo might have some of the best spatial awareness I’ve ever seen for a WR.
He’s another player I’m eager to see test at the NFL Combine next week.
@FieldYates
One of my favorite prospects to study throughout the draft process has been Miami WR Xavier Restrepo.
We’ll see how much his size impacts his draft slot, but there is so much to like about his game.
His quickness, toughness, strength, competitiveness and clutch gene are all excellent. There are some traits in his skillset that have shades of Amon-Ra St. Brown to them.

Can keep the analysis on this one simple: @CanesFootball WR Xavier Restrepo gets open
Value in the red zone doesn’t just come from size
NFL Rookie Watch
Arian Smith is reportedly "quietly receiving" comparisons to Jameson Williams within NFL draft rooms.
Many NFL scouts reportedly believe Smith's stock is going to "skyrocket" after his long awaited combine performance.
"He's going to run in the 4.2's. More than likely early 4.2's. He's been one of the best kept secrets in this draft. Although he won't be a secret anymore after Indy." - One NFC executive.
Smith would reportedly run “toe-to-toe” with Matthew Boling (one of the fastest people in the world) when he was on the track team at UGA.
For reference, Smith is capable of these speeds at 6'0", 185 pounds, and was one of the best WR's in attendance at the Senior Bowl this year.
The Bulldogs WR has ALL the intangibles and attributes to be an elite WR in the league![]()
Matt Miller
If you want a RB who can improve the pass game...
Day 2: Omarion Hampton/TreVeyon Henderson/Jaydon Blue/Trevor Etienne
Day 3: Cam Skattebo/Bhayshul Tuten/Brashard Smith/LeQuint Allen/Mario Anderson Jr./Woody Marks
And I'm probably forgetting a few! Can't wait to watch the RBs in pass-catching drills at the combine
Todd McShay
In a WR class uncertainty this yr, I know exactly what I’m getting with ISU’s Jaylin Noel. Team that pulls trigger in RD2 should have a difference-maker in slot for many years!
-Undersized, yes. But 4yr player/3yr starter. Final 3yrs: 202-2,586-12.8-18
-Uncovers in a flash. Route suddenness and savvy are outstanding. He’s got it all - tempos, leverage, speed outs, body control, explosion out of breaks and spatial awareness.
-Hands and radius are smaller-than-ideal but he’s reliable and tough.
-Plus, his 20.8 MPH @seniorbowl was 6th fastest among all players and 2nd fastest WR.

Damien Martinez is pure POWER
He averages 4.46 yards after contact per carry, 2nd in the class behind only Ashton Jeanty.
He’s also surprisingly quick at times; look at the evasiveness in some of these clips.
He might just be my RB6![]()
Yards after contact per carry for 2025 NFL Draft RBs:
5.25 - Ashton Jeanty
4.46 - Damien Martinez
4.43 - TreVeyon Henderson
4.42 - Kaleb Johnson
4.40 - Bhayshul Tuten
This is a great class, but Jeanty is MILES ahead of everyone else.
Jaxon Dart as the 21st overall prospect is pretty unique.Hayden Winks at Underdog: 2025 NFL Draft Top 50 Big Board - Pre-Combine Edition

1. EDGE1 Abdul Carter - Penn State
2. QB1 Cam Ward - Miami
3. CB1 Travis Hunter - Colorado

A few interesting ones:
