1.01: Treylon Burks, Wide Receiver, Arkansas

Arkansas native Treylon Burks will sit atop my wide receiver rookie rankings after a great career for the Razorbacks. During his final season at Arkansas, Burks hauled in 66 catches for 1104 yards and 11 touchdowns. Burks is a big, physical receiver that has elite breakaway speed. This is a rare combo and provides him a monster ceiling in the NFL. One thing you will quickly notice on Burks is his ability to consistently produce yards after the catch. Arkansas consistently found ways to get Burks the football and he was able to use his strength to stiff-arm defenders and his elite speed to breakaway and outrun defenders angles. Another trait that sticks out is his contested catchability. The height, vertical, and massive hands make for a big catch radius and are a huge reason for his success in his contested catch rate. Burks is a very versatile receiver consistently winning matchups lining up on the outside, the slot, and even out of the backfield.

 

1.02: Drake London, Wide Receiver, USC

The top of this wide receiver class offers a wide variety of players. With Burks off the board, and Jameson Williams’ ACL injury in the national title game Drake London is my current number two man. With a prototypical frame, strong footwork, and mentality to gain extra yards with the ball in his hands, London can help turn around a WR room in the NFL and dynasty rosters.

1.03: Isaiah Spiller, Running Back, Texas A&M

At the time of this writing, it is tough to choose between Breece Hall and Isaiah Spiller. You know once one comes off the board, the other one will not be far behind. Here, I take the first running back off the board and am going with Isaiah Spiller. Coming into the draft at 6’1″, 225 pounds, Spiller has the frame that NFL Scouts and teams dream about. He declared as a 20-year-old junior who not only put up great stats since his freshman year but did it all the way till the end of his senior year. His running and receiving skills are second to none and he, in my mind will be starting Week 1 at the start of the 2022 NFL season which is why I am taking him here at the 1.03.

1.04: Breece Hall, Running Back, Iowa State

Breece Hall would have been my pick at the 1.01, to be able to snag him at the 1.04 is excellent value. Hall was great all three seasons at Iowa State. Hall showcased his excellent vision in the Cyclones zone run scheme. Hall also showed his soft hands catching 82 balls throughout his three seasons. The Iowa St. running back possesses elite size, standing at 6’1″, and weighing 220 pounds. Hall will be a very good running back in the NFL for whichever team selects him.

1.05: Kenneth Walker III, Running Back, Michigan State

The Wake Forest transfer had a heck of a year for the Michigan State Spartans as he ran for an astonishing 1,636 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns while averaging an eye-popping 6.2 YPC. Some may think he is the next Trey Sermon as Sermon himself only had one good season at Ohio State, massing the majority of it near the end of the season. I don’t see this with Walker. His burst through the hole and the ability to get to the second level makes his speed a home run hit when you put the ball in his hands. This kid has true three-down potential in the NFL with the right team, which in reality is every team.

1.06: Garrett Wilson, Wide Receiver, Ohio State

This wide receiver class is just loaded for the 2022 NFL Draft. I was originally thinking of taking Chris Olave here, but the more I watch of Wilson, the more I am really liking him. Wilson started as a true freshman for the Ohio State Buckeyes and had a very productive career with 143 receptions, 2,213 yards, and 23 receiving touchdowns in 32 career games. What really got me on to him was the way he broke off the line and got to his top speed. Whoever drafts him should be very pleased.
