Daniel Harms
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again:

I’d draft Jalen Royals over any WR not named Hunter or McMillan.

Jalen Royals is not Diontae Johnson...

@SteveSmithSr89 means that in a good way

This is some legit short-area twitch and explosion from Jalen Royals in the RAC phase.

Combined with his play strength and contact balance through arm tackles, this is where he'll make a lot of his money.

Another example of Jalen Royals just making it look easy with the little details:

- Stems the nickel DB to threaten the fade
- Explodes off the jab-step into the post route
- Works back to the ball with a slight angle adjustment
- Diamond hands, catch secured through contact

Considering this guy is in just about everyone's top 6 for rookie WRs.... this is an awfully short player thread for these msg boards. I say this because he feels overlooked in a lot of podcasts/articles I've been consuming on the rookies as well. Feels like he might be a value if he continues flying under the radar. Of course a splashy landing spot in the draft could change all that.

Out of 12 different rankings I have seen, none have him listed as top 6. But all have him listed between 7 and 13, with an average of 9.4.

Warren Sharp
Jalen Royals to the Chiefs

#1 fastest 10-yard split in this WR class & dominated man coverage

Andy Reid & Patrick Mahomes will love him

NFL Draft Files
Jalen Royals will be a PROBLEM with the Chiefs

No QB benefits more from yards after catch than Patrick Mahomes, and he just got arguably the best RAC receiver in the 2025 Draft

https://x.com/nfl_df/status/1916186373582729465?s=61

@BnbFootball
Out of 432 draft-eligible D1 prospects, Jalen Royals was:
+ 2nd in receiving yards per game
+ 5th in yards after contact per catch (minimum 600 yards)
+ Top 10 in yards per route run

Shocked he made it out of Day 2. And to the CHIEFS.

I thought he would have gone earlier, but you have to like the landing spot. With the uncertainty of Rice and I don't think Brown is for long in KC, this guy can be a factor in dynasty if you're patient.

Effing steal by the Chiefs. This dude is another Rishi Rice.

That’s my concern, I drafted Rice in two startups. Do they know something we don’t?

I mean he tore his ACL and has already had 2 run ins with the law. Seems like KC would wise to have an alternative plan at this point.

If true, keep the car keys away from him.

RD 4 | PK 133 - Chiefs: Jalen Royals WR, Utah State

Royals earned the 6th-highest NGS overall draft score among wide receivers in this year's class (82), and was one of five WRs to eclipse 75+ in both production and athleticism. When the Chiefs turned in their card, Royals was the last remaining player on the board with an overall score over 80.

Royals will join a Kansas City receiver room that lost both DeAndre Hopkins (BAL) and Mecole Hardman (GB) this offseason.
