Treylon Burks Leads Crowded WR Draft Class

NFL Draft - Although nothing is certain in the NFL draft, this year's wide receiver class seems to be more uncertain than most. Most prognosticators agreed that Ja'Marr Chase was the top wide receiver prospect in the 2021 NFL draft. This year, five players—Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Treylon Burks, and Jameson Williams—are all projected to go in the first round, but no one is quite sure what their order of selection will or should be. This dynamic makes the selection process even more hazardous for NFL general managers, who will have many similarly-rated wide receivers to choose from and are likely to be intensely second-guessed if they pick a bust.
