Grading 2023 NFL Draft WRs by explosiveness: What's predictive, plus grades for Zay Flowers and more
This is the fourth of five articles grading the 2023 NFL Draft wide receiver prospects, and today our focus is on each prospect's explosiveness. I rate each receiver's ability to generate yards after catch relative to the position's averages, among other factors. When combined with the other four grading metrics I developed, these grades provide an overall prospect ranking of the 2023 receiver class.
This feature is also part of a bigger breakdown of the receivers that includes my dynasty rookie rankings for the position as well as profiles on all the key rookie receivers. You'll also find in that main feature the five grading articles and an overall ranking of receiver grades based solely on my evaluations on a prospect level independent of team context, which is where the grading system diverges from the post-draft dynasty rankings.
Below, you'll find my grades for every rookie receiver, which includes data on Ravens first-rounder Zay Flowers.
So which receiver grades best based on volume potential? And who saw a significant boost in the draft? ... Join SportsLine here to see Jacob Gibbs' analysis of the top rookie wide receivers, all from one of the nation's most accurate experts as graded by FantasyPros!
