DRAFT TRACKER 2025

Long, linear target whose primary function is to take the top off of defenses. Thornton can play through early contact and works past tight man coverage. He’s talented at stacking cornerbacks and tracking the ball when he finds top positioning. He can strike over the top or with routes allowing him to catch on the move. His route tree is limited, so two-high safety looks could park him in the garage. He’s average after the catch on short throws but plays as big as he measures, winning contested catches on all three levels. Thornton is a low-volume target with erratic production, but teams looking for vertical juice should have him on their boards.

Linear wideout with all-star traits but relatively limited production during his career. Hip tightness demands he run a more limited route tree of go routes, comebacks and posts. At this point, his routes are too easy to read, allowing keen cornerbacks to jump throws. He will have the speed to win deep if he proves he can beat press cleanly on the next level. He’s an excellent leaper with a wide catch radius but the ball skills fail to stand out when contested both short and deep. McCoy’s traits are alluring, but it feels difficult to project him as anything more than a “short-or-deep” target with a WR3/4 ceiling.
