2024 Draft Class: WR

I know he's on the smaller side, but he has such great balance, can run routes better than given credit for, can take a hit, good at getting YAC. Doesn't look like a late round receiver to me. Dude is fast too.

The move at 3:51 vs Cal is the kinda thing that would open up the offense since we love that deep dig/in route

Those routes in the other post, good gawd they are incredible. I can barely breathe watching them they're so freaking good.

I haven't worked through all the receivers in this class yet and now I gotta watch more of this Ladd. (pun intended )

This looks like a guy Shanahan would absolutely SALIVATE over.

He's much smaller than Cupp. If I'm tossing out a comp it's Diontae Johnson with better hands.

IMO he's purely a slot guy. Guys get hands on him at the LOS and it's over. I think he would be a great addition in the 3rd though. Savvy route runner who can get open quickly for Brock.
Starting to become a fan of Javon Baker.

Jalen Coker is a similar archetype with more reliable hands and a bit more juice.
just give me anyone who complements BA. Deebo won't be here next year imho.

I highly doubt that.

Unless they take him in R1, he isn't sliding to the end of the second. Definitely more pressing needs
If we trade BA for a late 1st I wouldn't mind seeing


Either OT 1st then Troy or Troy then OT

If we trade BA and don't go WR in round one. Give me baby Goat.

Also like Ainias Smith to replace RAY RAY.

Mid to late round guy

Feel like he could be had in the middle rounds yes

3rd round?

That's a pretty good comp
Under the radar gem here: 5-8 190 -- Compact but well built. Definitely a nice RAC guy. Tremendously productive at UVA. Team captain. I think he's a 2nd-3rd round talent. It would be a shock to see him fall farther than that IMO. I've seen enough to feel like he's one of the top WR prospects in this class.

I feel like anyone catching our eyes now in r2-3 will go way higher come draft day.

I'd love the real speed wr to take the top off a defense, but I wouldd love to find an electric punt returner more as I said earlier (maybe that player is both lol) otherwise I would be surprised to see a high pick on a WR given who we have and what we currently need.
