0:00.0 | In this video, we're going to be breaking down the best kept secrets in this year's NFL draft. |
0:03.9 | These are going to be prospects that go after round one and in the later rounds of drafts, |
0:07.5 | but still have immense upside. |
0:09.1 | And we'll start with Roman Wilson, who I believe is a borderline first round pick. |
0:12.5 | We'll probably go in the second round, and he's right around a top 10 overall receiver in this draft class. |
0:16.6 | That's how good this draft class is. Now, here's what you need to know about Wilson, who just won the college football championship just a few months ago. |
0:22.3 | Wilson spent four years at Michigan, where his production significantly increased in 2023 when he posted a career high, 488 catches, 789 yards, and 12 touchdowns. |
0:31.5 | Now, these stats might not seem impressive to you, but you have to keep this in mind. |
0:34.8 | Michigan was a run-heavy team that ranked 117th in |
0:37.8 | passing plays per game. They ran on over 60% of their offensive plays. But on a per play basis, |

0:51.1 | wide receiver grade only behind Marvin Harrison Jr., who if you watched |
0:54.4 | our top 10 ranking wide receiver video, he's pretty high on that list. Wilson averaged three |
0:59.0 | yards per route run in 2023, ranking top 10 in this draft class, and he ranked third in |
1:03.6 | red zone efficiency. So that gives us some context about his production background, but where exactly |
1:08.1 | does he win as a receiver? Well, he was used all over the field |
1:11.0 | at Michigan and found success both in the slot and out wide. He dominates mostly downfield, |
1:15.9 | thanks to his speed and surprisingly great strength for his size. In this strength also helps him |
1:20.3 | in the blocking game. He's very willing as a blocker and capable. And now check this stat out |
1:24.2 | right here. It just kind of adds to everything I just said. Wilson ranked third in |
1:27.7 | the entire nation at how often he was open against single coverage over 40% of the time he was |
