![]() ![]() Brown is a smooth and refined route runner that creates separation with attention to detail and by varying speeds throughout his stem. Overall grade: 5.85, Round grade: third, NFL potential: NFL starterĪnother receiver that others will be higher on than me. With a more complex route tree, he could thrive at the next level. Harry is an explosive receiver that moves well for his size, and his combine workout backed that up. He’s incredible with the ball in his hands creating after the catch and is strong to win contested catch battles downfield, a rare combination. On a positive note, Harry had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the Sun Devils and is a darling of the analytics crew ranking in the 89th percentile of market share (percentage of teams yards and touchdowns). ![]() For those reasons, I’m lower on Harry than some who have him in their top five or even as the best receiver in the class. He needs to rework releases against press coverage, often making his moves too early, and fails to close down the space between him and the defender. Most of his production came on screens, hitches or curls and vertical routes and he struggled to create downfield separation and beat press coverage. He’s a unique player, a big-bodied (6-2, 228 pounds) slot receiver that ran a limited route tree at Arizona State. Harry was one of the toughest evaluations in this class. Overall grade: 6.25, Round grade: second, NFL potential: above-average starter BIG SLOT RECEIVERS N’KEAL HARRY, ARIZONA STATE Renfrow is a below-average athlete for the position and didn’t produce in college like some of these other receivers, but you know exactly what you’re going to get with him at the next level. He’s also extremely slippery after the catch with great vision in the open field and has glue-hands with hardly any drops on his tape. He regularly steps on the toes of the defender and cuts horizontally snapping routes off in either direction and will be a chain mover on third down. He’s incredible out of his breaks creating instant separation with a great setup, snappy hips and quick feet that translated into a 6.8-second three-cone time (75th percentile). Renfrow is the prototypical Patriots slot receiver. It feels like we’ve been discussing Hunter Renfrow as a Patriots target for years, and that’s because he was a four-year contributor at Clemson. Overall grade: 5.3, Round grade: fourth, NFL potential: chance to be NFL starterĪnd here we go, part two. Campbell also adds value as a returner in the Cordarrelle Patterson and Percy Harvin mold, but his college production was better than both of those players. Campbell translated those skills into 90 catches and 12 touchdowns for the Buckeyes last season, which is very impressive given his shortcomings as a route runner. The Ohio State product doesn’t run refined routes against man coverage, but he has a good feel for finding soft spots over the middle against zone coverage and is a game-breaking threat every time he touches the ball. Instead, Campbell’s elite athleticism (99th percentile) and elusiveness in the open field translate on a horizontal plane on reverses, screens, underneath crossers and spot routes. Overall grade: 5.55, Round grade: third, NFL potential: NFL starterĬampbell is another burner from the slot, but he’s not a deep threat, and only caught two passes of 20 or more yards last season. Isabella will need to work on his setup at the top of routes to win in his breaks, and his short arms lead to body catching, but his production and speed are elite for a wide receiver prospect. The entire UMass offense ran through Isabella, and every defense he faced knew it, yet he still tore up the competition every week including 219 yards and two touchdowns against Georgia as a senior. Isabella isn’t your typical Patriots slot receiver he’s not the technician at the top of the route that we are used to, but he led the nation in yards per route run (4.15) and was second in deep passing yards (705). Isabella solidified himself as a top 50 prospect with a blazing 4.31-second 40-yard dash at the combine further establishing the fact that he’s a true deep threat at the next level. Overall grade: 6.2, Round grade: second, NFL potential: above-average starterĪnd here we go.
