Patriots 2026 draft: Good and bad of WR class, according to NFL scouts

“There’s a decent amount of depth but there’s no real stud.”
“These Denzel Boston’s and K.C. Concepcion’s and Antonio Williams’s of the world, they’re just guys. Even Makai Lemon, he’s a little guy, a tough guy, but he’s not a No. 1 [receiver]. I like Tate the best of all of them but he’s good, he’s not great. After Tate, in other years they would be second-, third- and fourth-rounders. There’s nothing out there.”
“You just don’t see first-rounders. They just don’t jump out. Mike Evans is a blue player. None of these guys are really blue. … A lot of guys don’t have the stats. But you watch all their targets and plays and you go, ‘Gee, this guy just needs to get the ball more.’ There’s a lot of good receivers in this draft.”
