We are just a few weeks away from the 2023 NFL Draft and it seems that all the projections have the New York Giants selecting a wide receiver with the 25th overall pick. Sure, there are always curveballs during draft season, but the consensus has been set so let's look at the top WR targets for the GMen.
Jordan Addison, WR, USC - Addison has produced everywhere he has landed and he is the type of receiver that can play on day 1. He has gotten plenty of Stephon Diggs comparisons, which likely has Brian Daboll drooling. Addison is on the smaller size though, weighing in under 175 pounds, so there are some small concerns.
Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College - Flowers is the ideal over the top receiver, but he can also play in the slot if asked. He flashed signs of greatness in stints at Boston College, despite problems at QB, and their offense as a whole. An offensive minded coach, like Brian Daboll, can unleash even another gear for this talented wide out.
Quentin Johnson, WR, TCU - Johnson is a big bodied receiver at 6'4". He is also very fast running a 4.3 40 yard dash time. He is probably the most physically gifted receiver in this draft class, but his stats at TCU shows his ability didn't always translate into on field success.
Jaylin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee - The Biletnikoff Award winner was the best receiver in college and that pedigree should carry over to the NFL. Hyatt is more quick than fast, but he has the foot speed to win a lot of battles. His route running might be his best attribute and that is an easy trait to carry over to the next level.
Some of you may be asking where Jaxon Smith-Njigba from Ohio State is? There seems to be no chance that he falls to the Giants and his stock is actually rising as we are getting closer to the draft.
