Nice podcast here about the top 15 or so WRs in the upcoming draft.
They highlight an interesting statistic that I'm sure Veach and Reid pay attention to in combined separation % against man and zone coverage. Pretty clear we prefer separators over jump ball specialists.
Some notable #'s:
Coleman 12% seperation
Legette 55% seperation
Mitchell 74%
Mcconkey 93%
Egbuka 95%
Also noting they have Dez Walker and Ladd Mcconkey top 10 above Egbuka, and Brian Thomas Jr and Franklyn top 5.
Came away wanting Thomas, Franklyn, or Egbuka. Intrigued by Walker and Mcconkey as well.

That's interesting but I'm not sure the separation gained is always the same. To me a guy like Egbuka gets separation by running crisp, well timed routes. McConkey does it but it's through a little more freelancing. A bit like someone like Renfrow. If you need a guy in a spot on time I think Egbuka is it. If you're happy giving a guy time to make space, McConnell is great.
