Ja'Lynn Polk NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 68 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: New England Patriots
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze is expected to be a top-10 pick, but his former teammate Ja'Lynn Polk, has plenty of ability, too. The 22-year-old posted 69 receptions for 1,159 yards and nine touchdowns in his final season for the Huskies, despite sharing the field with Odunze and Jalen McMillan.
New England desperately needs help at wide receiver, especially with a rookie quarterback potentially coming in. Polk has adequate speed and size to develop into a solid WR2 in the NFL. In this range of the draft, that's all you can hope for.

Malachi Corley NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 72 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: New York Jets
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Over the last two seasons of his collegiate career, Malachi Corley racked up 180 receptions for 2,277 yards and 22 touchdowns. Although he played against sub-par competition at Western Kentucky, the numbers speak for themselves, and he's a 215-pound YAC specialist.
The Jets are looking to rebuild the offense as fast as possible to maximize the last few years of Aaron Rodgers' career, and slotting Corley in as a potential WR3 behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams is another step in doing so.
Ricky Pearsall NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 73 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Denver Broncos (from Lions via Vikings)
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Ricky Pearsall didn't break the 700-yard mark until his season senior, but he posted 965 yards and four touchdowns in a lackluster Florida offense in the SEC last year. If he was a mediocre athlete, he might fall to the late rounds, but that's far from the case. The former Arizona State transfer blew it away at the 2024 NFL Combine, potentially raising his stock to a Day 2 selection.
Ricky Pearsall is a WR prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.90 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 32 out of 3121 WR from 1987 to 2024.https://t.co/jff1C8sPXH pic.twitter.com/VAUweLJziY

Denver's wide receiver room looks bare after trading away Jerry Jeudy, and Pearsall has a similar play style. The Broncos seemingly need help at all positions on the roster, so this is a "best player available" pick.
