Where Will Jalin Hyatt Land?

Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is still awaiting the NFL Draft. He's expected to become a first-round pick, but to where?
In this story:

Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has had a busy couple of weeks. On the final weekend of February, Hyatt was in Indianapolis doing the athletic testing that most NFL Draft prospects participate in. A few days later, Hyatt received the Biletnikoff Award, given to the best wide receiver in college football.

Now that the official measurements are in for Hyatt, physically and athletically, there is a better gauge for how Jalin stacks up against the rest of the draft class. With multiple teams in the market for a dynamic playmaker out wide, which team will take a chance and pick the award-winning pass catcher? Here are three possible destinations for the South Carolina native.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks already have two great Receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. However, with Lockett nearing his 31st birthday, the Seahawks may look to go with a Wideout. Yahoo Sports' Tim Wright has the former Volunteer mocked to Seattle with the 20th pick in a recent mock draft.

Green Bay Packers

With the Packers likely to ship off quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the coming days, it will almost surely be the Jordan Love show in 2023. Green Bay could add another young pass catcher in the first couple of rounds, similar to when they selected Christian Watson in round 2 last season. With Allen Lazard leaving for New York and Randall Cobb sitting as a Free Agent, the Packers will likely need a wideout, and Matt Lafleur's system would likely cater to Hyatt's strengths.

Dallas Cowboys

Yet another NFC squad. The Cowboys are another team that could be looking to pick a Wide Receiver. With limited depth after Ceedee Lamb, America's Team could closely examine Jalin Hyatt. In Dallas, Hyatt would be lined up in the slot next to Lamb, creating devastating matchups for NFC East secondaries.
