Скачать или смотреть 2026 WR Draft Class, Top Nine Rankings, First Round Projections

The 2026 NFL Draft wide receiver class is absolutely stacked with first-round talent. Who's rising? Who's falling? Let's break down the top nine.

Vince Stover from the Sports Stove Draft Show on the Belly Up Sports Network ranks the elite wide receiver prospects heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. This loaded class features six to seven potential first-rounders, though the actual draft landscape may differ based on team needs.

Jordan Tyson from Arizona State claims the top spot at 6'2", 195 pounds, showcasing elite consistency with 57 catches, 628 yards, and eight touchdowns this season. Following close behind is USC's Makai Lemon at number two, averaging an impressive 15.8 yards per catch. Ohio State's Carnell Tate holds steady at three, continuing the Buckeyes' tradition of producing NFL-ready receivers.

The rankings feature intriguing risers like Tennessee's Chris Brazzell (6'5", 200 pounds) jumping into the top five after not appearing in preseason top tens. Texas A&M's KC Concepcion and Indiana's Elijah Sarratt round out the projected first-round talent, while Oklahoma's Deon Burks and Louisville's Chris Bell complete the top nine despite questions about size and situation.

Notable names like Clemson's Antonio Williams, Auburn's Eric Singleton, and Georgia's Zachariah Branch didn't crack this list but remain in the conversation. The height debate continues as several sub-6'0" receivers prove their worth despite NFL preferences.
