NFL Draft Composite Rankings: Receivers

We combined our prospect rankings with the rankings of nine other respected draft analysts to come up with a Composite Ranking of the top receivers.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Who’s considered the best receiver in the 2021 NFL Draft? Who’s No. 10? To help answer those questions, Packer Central combined our prospect rankings with the rankings of nine other respected draft analysts to come up with a Composite Ranking.

The No. 1-ranked player received one point, the No. 2 player received two points and so on up to the No. 10 player, who received 10 points. Everyone else received 11.

Here are the rankings.

Packer Central’s Bill Huber: LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase, Alabama’s Devonta Smith, Florida’s Kadarius Toney, LSU’s Terrace Marshall, Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman, Michigan’s Nico Collins, Oklahoma State’s Tylan Wallace, North Carolina’s Dyami Brown, South Dakota State’s Cade Johnson, Tennessee’s Josh Palmer.

(Note: The Packers haven’t drafted a receiver shorter than 5-foot-10 (without rounding up) in at least the last 16 drafts. Therefore, we excluded receivers such as Alabama’s Jaylen Waddle and Mississippi’s Elijah Moore, who officially are 5-foot-9 1/2, from our rankings.)
