Pittsburgh Review

The Triple Take team, consisting of Dale Lolley, Matt Williamson, and Mike Prisuta, has analyzed the top wide receiver prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft scheduled for April. They have shared their insights on potential selections in this year's draft.

Dale Lolley observes that while last year's draft saw three wide receivers picked within the first nine selections and seven by the end of the first round, this year's class is deeper rather than being top-heavy. He states, "While there will be good receivers to come out of this draft class, there aren't necessarily any that profile as future No. 1 performers for their respective teams." Colorado's Travis Hunter is considered a wildcard by Lolley but is viewed more as a cornerback prospect.

Lolley's top-ranked receiver is Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona. He describes McMillan as a big receiver with strong ball skills who has been highly productive over the past two seasons. Matthew Golden from Texas follows in his rankings due to his big-play ability and impressive performance at the combine. Other notable mentions include Luther Burden from Missouri and Emeka Egbuka from Ohio State.

Matt Williamson highlights that although this year's class may not be as strong overall, it still possesses talent. He predicts that Travis Hunter will be drafted early but excludes him from his list to focus on other names. Williamson suggests that several starting wide receivers could emerge from the second day of the draft.

Williamson ranks Tetairoa McMillan at the top due to his exceptional receiving yardage and touchdown potential. Matthew Golden closely follows due to his standout performances both during the season and at the combine.

Mike Prisuta notes that there are many intriguing wide receiver prospects available this year despite potentially fewer options compared to previous years. His rankings place Travis Hunter at number one, highlighting Hunter's dual role as both a receiver and cornerback.

Prisuta emphasizes Emeka Egbuka's polished game and leadership potential while also ranking Tetairoa McMillan highly for his scoring ability and physical playstyle.

The Triple Take crew agrees that while this draft may not feature immediate standout number-one receivers, there remains considerable depth in talent across multiple rounds.
