Our Wide Receiver Room - and the Draft

One of the most reliable websites when it comes to ranking prospects for the draft is walterfootball.com. I mean you can really count on them on getting close to being right as the teams draft college players at a particular position. Well yesterday I was looking over their prospect rankings on wide receivers in the 2025 draft and I was totally surprised at what I discovered about the two WRs that we drafted this year. Jack Bech was considered the 19th best WR in the class and was predicted to go in the 3-5 round. He was a bit of a reach.
But Donte Thornton jr. was not listed at all. Not even as a 7th-FA. Though they may have reached J. Bech, he was clearly considered the better player. What were they thinking when they drafted Thornton?

Walterfootball is entertaining but i wouldnt call them reliable. Its just one guy. NFL teams have entire scouting departments and can scout guys much more thoroughly (and the good ones do)

I think it is because their rankings seem more accurate than any other websites.

Your logic is flawed. One site may have one ranking and another might have him higher or lower. That is why you go to multiple sites to get somewhat of a consensus. Bleacher had him a 4th as did PFF

Oh excuse me. Walterfootball does have his scouting report but not his ranking among the other prospects.
