The 2025 wide receiver draft class has some talent and NFL upside, but it’s not what you would call a stacked class. In fact, one of its best prospects, Colorado’s Travis Hunter, might not even be drafted as a wide receiver … he also has the skills to be a top-end NFL cornerback. As a result, his ultimate fantasy value is yet to be determined.

The rest of the group is led by Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan, a big-bodied receiver who is a potential top-15 pick. He could go off the board as high as No. 9 to the New Orleans Saints or No. 12 to the Dallas Cowboys.

Texas WR Matthew Golden increased his stock at the NFL’s Scouting Combine, running a blazing 4.29 40-yard dash. Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka and Missouri’s Luther Burden III are considered the two top slot receivers in the class.

Mississippi’s Tre Harris, Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor and Iowa State’s Jayden Higgins, among others, are also considered potential Day 2 selections. The rest of my top 15 wide receivers are all potential NFL starters down the line or potential slot/return men at the next level.
