The 2023 draft isn't as top heavy in wide receiver talent as the previous two drafts were. A year ago, six receivers went in the first round. The year before that, Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith were all top 10 picks.
While this year's draft isn't as top heavy, there are still quality receivers to be found throughout the three-day draft. Here are some of the top prospects to watch at the receiver position.
Quentin Johnston, TCU Johnston has huge size and ridiculously long arms . At the combine, he recorded a 40.5-inch vertical and an 11-foot, 2-inch long jump. His combination of size and athleticism is impressive and could make him the top receiver in the eyes of some teams. It helped him total 1,069 yards and 6 touchdowns last season during TCU's run to the national championship game.
Josh Downs, North Carolina At 5-foot-9, 171 pounds, Downs is another smaller receiver who played in the slot during college. He was extremely effective, totaling more than 1,000 yards in both 2021 and 2022 with two different quarterbacks. He's a quick athlete who shows surprising toughness for a player his size. He also returned punts for the Tar Heels.
Day 3 prospects Marvin Mims, Oklahoma Mims is all about speed. He averaged 19.5 yards per reception for his entire college career. His deep-play ability is absolutely what stands out. Teams that need someone to take the top off defenses will take a hard look at Mims. That speed is also dangerous after the catch and as a punt returner.
