Nos. 20-16

20. Gary Jennings, West Virginia. Jennings is steadily starting to rise in the lead-up to the 2019 NFL Draft. He put together a good combine and backed up his solid stats from this past year (54 catches, 917 yards, 13 touchdowns). He has nice route running ability and good speed and could be a nice No. 2 receiver/deep threat for an NFL team. He has starter potential for sure.

19. Hunter Renfrow, Clemson. Renfrow is on the smaller side, but he has excellent hands and should be able to succeed as a slot receiver at the NFL level. He rarely dropped passes at Clemson and could become a sure-handed option for a team. Renfrow will always play hard, so some team will likely be willing to spend a Round 4 or 5 pick on him.

18. Mecole Hardman, Georgia. Hardman is a dynamic, speedy receiver who found success as a return man at the collegiate level. Hardman, 5-10, may be a bit on the smaller side for an NFL receiver, but he showed ability as a game-breaking deep threat last year, hauling in seven touchdowns and averaging 15.5 yards per catch for Georgia.

Hardman could find a role as a deep threat or a speed-based slot man, and the Redskins should have interest in him after losing Jamison Crowder in free agency.

17. Jakobi Meyers, NC State. Meyers isn’t as lauded as his teammate Kelvin Harmon, but he has really nice footwork and solid athletic ability to be productive at the next level. He had a 1,000-yard season last year for the Wolfpack, and considering that he’s a converted quarterback, the sky is the limit for him.

16. David Sills, West Virginia. Sills, a former quarterback prospect who committed to USC as a 13-year-old, has made a name for himself as a receiver at West Virginia. In the past two years, Sills has caught a ridiculous 33 touchdown passes and has used his 6-4 frame to his advantage. Sills will be a red-zone weapon in the NFL, but his lack of after the catch ability will keep him from cracking the top 15 here.
