*****
1. Chris Olave, Ohio State
Olave has that “it” factor that is hard to define. He doesn’t do anything great, but he’s so smooth and unstoppable you just want him on your team.
*****
2. Garrett Wilson, Ohio State
Wilson is longer and arguably more athletic than Olave, so it’s a tough call. He can make some amazing catches on bad balls, which NFL scouts love.
*****
3. Drake London, USC
OK, I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sold on London at first, but he’s improving with every film breakdown. His size and athletic ability are off the charts.
*****
4. Jalen Tolbert, South Alabama
You don’t hear a ton about Tolbert, but he has size and excellent hands. He is hard to check physically.
*****
5. Jahan Dotson, Penn State
Dotson gets knocked a bit for his lack of size, but his speed is amazing and he keeps showing he can get deep against defenses despite a lot of attention.
*****
6. Zay Flowers, Boston College
Flowers just continues to impress as a reliable receiver who will make plays all over the field and bail out the offense at times.
*****
7. Ty Fryfogle, Indiana
Fryfogle had a solid first game, but speed questions will need to be answered for the big wide receiver.
*****
8. Treylon Burks, Arkansas
His size and speed are impressive, but Burks can sometimes disappear despite being so physically imposing.
*****
9. George Pickens, Georgia
Pickens isn’t playing yet because of that knee injury, but his body of work and expected return keep him on this list. He could shoot up the list if he returns healthy.
*****
10. David Bell, Purdue
Bell gets the No. 10 spot here right now, but it could go to many others. This isn’t a top- heavy draft class, but it’s very deep. Bell's size and range are excellent.
