2026 NFL Draft Rankings: Our Top 5 Wide Receivers

Presented by Props.Cash

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon reveal their Top 5 wide receiver rankings for the 2026 NFL Draft, breaking down the film, traits, and NFL projection of the most talented WR prospects in the class.

Brad makes the case for Makai Lemon as WR1, explaining why his technician-level route running, physicality, and competitive edge separate him from the field. Alex counters with his own rankings, setting up a debate over ceiling vs. floor, polish vs. traits, and which receiver truly translates best to the NFL.

The guys dive into Carnell Tate and his deep-ball ability and body control, the true X-receiver upside of Denzel Boston, and the rare size-speed profile of Chris Bell. They also discuss red-zone dominance and injury concerns surrounding Jordan Tyson, plus why Malachi Fields just missed the cut after an impressive Senior Bowl showing.

From WR1 debates to scheme fits, contested catch ability, separation skills, and NFL-ready polish, this episode is built on film study and evaluation — not hype.

If you’re looking for smart 2026 NFL Draft wide receiver rankings, in-depth player breakdowns, and real football analysis, this is the episode you want.
