Our final wide receiver prospect edition of fantasy football today in five.

0:04.2

Let's sum it up for you right now with Emery Hunt. And welcome back to the show. It is Friday. It is April 9th. I'm Adam Azer. Emery Hunt's been awesome. Breaking down a whole bunch of wide receivers. If you missed the Thursday episode, we talked about some of the fastest ones in the NFL draft. But now we're going to do some superlatives and things like that. So which wide receivers, Emery, let's start with this.

0:22.9

Which ones have superstar potential in the NFL?

0:27.0

Jamar Chase, to me, number one, has superstar's potential.

0:30.8

Jail and Wilder, because of his speed and what he can do with the football.

0:33.7

I also believe someone like Anthony Schwartz as a slot guy,

0:37.4

the smallest slot guy, has the potential to be a stud because of his explosive speed

0:42.0

and ability to do things with the ball in his hands.

1:14.3

he plays, you know, and he could play either inside or outside, but you wonder where he's going

1:19.0

to go. I don't think he is a scheme diverse in that regard, but I do think he has good enough

1:24.7

skills to where he can be a very good pro, a pro bowler,

1:27.9

but may not be an all pro.

1:29.9

Okay, which first rounder, someone that you think would go in the first round, has the most

1:34.2

bus potential?

1:36.2

I'm going to say Rashar Bateman out of Minnesota.

1:39.1

I know a lot of people are high on him, but he measured shorter and lighter than what they expected them to.
