If your favorite team needs a wide receiver in the 2022 NFL draft, it would behoove them to act fast.
“There will be a run on receivers in the first (round), and they might go boom, boom, boom,” an AFC college scouting director told Yahoo Sports. “You’ll need to be on your toes, ready to jump when it starts.”
One reason for this is that for at least the fourth year in a row, the draft offers good talent at the position. There might not be a Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase in this year’s class, and you could make the argument that finding a CeeDee Lamb or Jaylen Waddle isn't assured, either.
