Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The fourth overall pick lands in a Titans receiver group that lacks the elite talent he played behind at Ohio State, where Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith capped his counting numbers. The underlying profile travels: 3.17 yards per route run, a 14.6 average depth of target, and a clean sheet on drops point to a refined route-runner who wins downfield and through contact. At 6-2, 192 and just 21, he projects as the field-stretcher opposite Wan'Dale Robinson's underneath work, with a real path to the clear No. 1 role.
Projections of 66 catches for roughly 899 yards and four-plus scores frame him as a high-upside WR3, and the ceiling rises with second-year passer Cam Ward under Brian Daboll. A top-20 finish is in range if Ward develops. With an ADP near 61 and a favorable late-season slate, he's a sensible Round 6 swing and the top rookie receiver to target.
