WR – CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, Justin Jefferson, Jalen Reagor

By now, most of you guys know the book on the top three receivers in the class. CeeDee Lamb isn’t an elite athlete, but he’s very solid in terms of his ability at the catch and his after-the-catch dynamism, and he’s a smooth route runner. Jerry Jeudy has elite agility and route running ability, and Henry Ruggs is an explosive threat with good projective traits as well.

We know the story on the top three receivers. But what about four and five? Some analysts have it differently, but a couple common names you’ll see in that range are Justin Jefferson and Jalen Reagor. Jefferson is an electric player who’s solid in just about every category, from athleticism to route running to contested catch ability. He needs to work on combating press coverage, but he’s a Day 1 starter in the slot.

Reagor, meanwhile, is a bit less polished than Jefferson, but he’s incredibly explosive and agile in open field, and he’s a more versatile receiver who’d provide a ton of flexibility for a modern Redskins offense. Both Jefferson and Reagor project to go off the board in the late first-early second range, so the Redskins may not have a chance to get them. But it’s still important to know your class as well as you can.
