Top WRs for 2018 NFL Draft

Scouts and general managers have called the 2018 NFL draft class average, but we still have questions. Who is the best overall player? How about the best at each position?

The goal of the NFL Draft 400 series is to figure that out.

The top 400 players were tracked, scouted, graded and ranked, with help from scouting assistants Marshal Miller, Dan Bazal and Jerod Brown. Together, we viewed tape of a minimum of three games per player—the same standard NFL teams use.

Oftentimes, we saw every play from a prospect over the last two years. That led to the grades, rankings and scouting reports you see here.

Players were graded on strengths and weaknesses, with a pro-player comparison added to match the prospect’s style or fit in the pros. The top 400 players will be broken down position by position for easy viewing before the release of a top-400 big board prior to the draft.

In the case of a tie, players were ranked based on their overall grade in our top 400.

OVERALL

Tavares Martin has moldable traits that will encourage a team to bring him in for at least a training camp, but his lack of consistency is a major flag. The locked-in Martin is a quality player who can be a developmental prospect. The checked-out Martin is a locker room issue who can be far more cheap youth nfl jerseys of a headache than his talent is worth. Martin will have to prove that his time at Washington State is behind him and show a commitment to building physically and fundamentally as a receiver.
