In such a big year of external succession,
Who will be the first outsider to be chosen?
In this draft, there are more top talents in the outside world than in previous years. There are 7-8 outside receivers with the possibility of being selected in the first round, and in the first three rounds it is possible to select an outside receiver with starting level. Today, we're going to take stock of the five players who have taken over the best positions outside and put them in Panini's Cary and talk about their technical characteristics.
5. Trelon-Burks, University of Arkansas
Burks is probably the strongest outsider in this draft. His large hands are accompanied by his soft catch feel, making it very easy to catch the ball. Subsequently, he was able to use his strong body to break through the defender's grappling and get the advance after receiving the ball. It's also reminiscent of AJ Brown, who took over from outside the Titans star. In addition, Burks spent his college career in the SEC division, which is full of strong players, where it has the closest defensive intensity to the NFL. But he still showed his physical strengths, and presumably the transition to the level of defense in the NFL will not be difficult for him.
4. Drake London, University of Southern California
Seeing this, perhaps many fans will be surprised, is Drake London only in fourth place? This is the best big external connection of this year! Indeed, London is a very good outside receiver and his 6'5 height can help him have an advantage against any cornerback. At the same time, the basketball player has a different flexibility than his body, which can help him easily shake off the cornerbacks who come to stare at him. Finally, his excellent body control also laid the foundation for him to become the signature big outside of the NFL team. If it weren't for the excessive talent of the top talent in this year's external receiver, he would not have been able to appear in the fourth position.
3. Chris Olaway, Ohio State University
What is the most important housekeeping skill of the external successor? I think it's the ability to run the route. Olaevy has the best route running ability in this year's external receivers. His movements are so deceptive that it's easy for the cornerback to step into his trap. Once hooked, Olavi will use his smooth steps to immediately shake off the cornerbacks, find the space and complete the catch. Watching Olaevy play, you'll find that he can always easily catch the ball in a large open area, and it is amazing: what is this defense defending? However, it's not just that the defense is not well defended, but that Olaevy's route runs are too deceptive.
2. Jamison-Williams, University of Alabama
Yesterday, we mentioned that the University of Alabama often produces excellent running backs, but in fact they produce excellent external successors of extremely high quality. From Julio Jones, to Amari Cooper, to Jerry Judy, to last year's draft picks, Jaylen Wadell and Deventa Smith. These people have all been the top outside receivers of the team, or will soon become the number one outside receivers of the team. Williams, on the other hand, is the latest product from the University of Alabama. Williams' straight-line speed is fast, from the second he receives the ball he starts in a straight line and immediately goes to top speed. It is his amazing speed that allows defenders to do nothing most of the time, even if they know where he is going.
1. Garrett Wilson, Ohio State University
Wilson is seen by many scouts as the number one receiver of this year, and it is very likely that he will be the first to be selected in this draft. Wilson is an ankle finisher, his change of direction is very exaggerated, extremely high-ornamental, and you can often see him shaking his defenders north from his college videos. In addition, his outrageous physical control ability allows him to complete a variety of amazing catches. These skills are something that a coach can't teach you, so it's even more rare. I can already imagine how many highlights Wilson can contribute each week next season.
