Our Wide Receiver Room - and the Draft
One of the most reliable websites when it comes to ranking prospects for the draft is walterfootball.com. I mean you can really count on them on getting close to being right as the teams draft college players at a particular position. Well yesterday I was looking over their prospect rankings on wide receivers in the 2025 draft and I was totally surprised at what I discovered about the two WRs that we drafted this year. Jack Bech was considered the 19th best WR in the class and was predicted to go in the 3-5 round. He was a bit of a reach.
But Donte Thornton jr. was not listed at all. Not even as a 7th-FA. Though they may have reached J. Bech, he was clearly considered the better player. What were they thinking when they drafted Thornton?
