If wide receiver isn’t the deepest position in the 2022 NFL Draft, it’s right up there with offensive tackle and edge rusher.
There’s a little something for everyone with lots of speed, good size, and options to fit whatever is needed. Is there a need to invest in a good one in the early first round? No, even though Ja’Marr Chase screwed up everyone who wants an instant impact target.
However, several teams with multiple picks will go for it, and some teams will have to wait for the payoff with a few injured superstar prospects.
No, there isn’t a Chase in this group, but there are plenty of No. 1 targets and instant impact prospects to choose from.
– 2022 Top Quarterback Prospects: From The College Perspective
Alec Pierce, Cincinnati
Size: 6-3, 211
The Good: There’s a tremendous combination of size, strength, and deep speed that can work in any offense. A big-time all-around athlete, he’s got the traits to muscle his way for contested catches.
He averaged 17 yards per catch last season with a 144-yard day against Notre Dame, 86 yards and a touchdown against Indiana, and with five touchdown grabs down the stretch of the regular season. However …
The Not-So-Good: What’s his role going to be? He’s got 4.4 speed, but he’s not going to blow past NFL corners on the outside. He’s tough, but he’s not exactly shifty enough to be a volume catcher – he only made more than three grabs six times last season.
NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: He won’t be anyone’s No. 1 target, but he’s got too many all-around skills and positive traits to keep him off the field. He’ll be a piece-of-the-puzzle target who’ll always find a gig.
