- 2026 NFL Draft Rankings: Wide Receiver
The 2026 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and we've got you covered with rankings for every position group in this year's class.
Ohio State 's Carnell Tate can make a strong case for this year's top wide receiver prospect, but he's got plenty of company at the top of the board. USC 's Makai Lemon and Arizona State 's Jordyn Tyson are also in the mix as potential top-15 selections, while Washington 's Denzel Boston and Texas A&M 's KC Concepcion could both crash the first round.
