From physical tools and raw talent to production and impressive film, Marvin Harrison Jr. checks every box as an elite wide receiver prospect.

The 6’4″, 205-pounder has an ideal blend of size, speed and toughness, and he’s a threat to make a house call on any play. He can separate in close quarters or take defenses over the top, and he’s a highlight waiting to happen with the ball in his hands. His route tree branches out in every direction, and he can read coverages in ways that seemingly allow him to always find the soft spot in the defense.

“Harrison is a slam dunk prospect,” B/R NFL Scout Derrik Klassen wrote. “He is a twitched-up athlete with polished route-running ability and elite ball skills. It’s easy to see how his game translates right away. Harrison would be an instant No. 1 WR for most offenses.”

Harrison is, arguably, the single best prospect in this class, though the fact that he doesn’t play quarterback means he may need to wait a pick or two on draft night to hear his name called.

Caleb Williams feels like the personification of catching lightning in a bottle. He’s all electricity all the time, and while his aggressive playmaking gets him in trouble every now and then, the potential high-end outcomes for his career will convince someone (be that the Bears or their theoretical trade partner) to take him with the first overall pick.

After transferring from Oklahoma to USC, he was a touchdown machine for the Trojans. Over 26 games at USC, he tallied 72 touchdown throws (against just 10 interceptions) and added another 21 rushing scores. He flashed major arm talent, but also the ability to improvise, and he clearly made things happen with his legs, too.

“Overall, Williams is a fascinating prospect,” Klassen wrote. “The arm talent oozes off the film, and he is a special playmaker when things break down. Williams is also more put together as a processor than his playing style suggests, even if he still needs work.”

Williams sometimes tries to make too much happen, but his confidence and playmaking ability are key parts of his profile. The team that drafts him won’t want to dial back that aggressiveness too much (if at all), because that’s what can make him the most special talent to come out of this draft.
