Way too Early 2025 Class prospects thread*

McMillan's combine performance will more than likely solidify his position as WR1 for most draftniks and big board builders. And for good reason. Size, speed, crazy body control in stupid coverages where he shouldn't be coming down with the ball. Really solid redzone target with the ability to break in and out of slants to get open. 

His routes will need some work at the next level. He's lanky. However, he doesn't mess around with the football when it's in the air. He's the reach out and get it type and he attacks it in coverage. Interesting prospect. Has quick feet for a guy his size but I don't see him running anything too crazy like a 4.3 or low 4.4. 

He'll probably test maybe once at a 4.4 with great teaching at the combine but hit a 4.5 on his second attempt. Which I think is more inline with his speed on the field that I can see. I think the A.J Green comp is fair that I have for him. He can have a good career in the right situation I believe.

These 3 receivers all look good- especially McMillan. Despite that, I would not draft a wide receiver until the 3rd day of the draft next year. They already have BTJ and Kirk will be on the team at least until the end of next season. The focus of this draft needs to be on the offensive line and secondary, with another pass rusher as the 3rd priority. 

Specific players I will be looking at are tackles Will Campbell and Kelvin Banks and guards Tyler Booker and Tate Ratledge. If the Jaguars lose this Sunday, they are likely to have a shot at one of the 2 tackles since they have a brutal 5 game stretch after returning from Europe. If they win Sunday and then as a solid favorite against the Patriots, we could be looking at a season where even a wild-card spot is in play and a draft spot in which the top 2 tackles will be off the board. Of course, this is the much-preferred scenario and I'd even consider taking Booker despite the fact guards are often passed on until  at least round 2.
