Tate, Tyson & the 2026 WR Class: Great Prospects, Wrong Expectations ft. Joe DeLeone Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Bucky Brooks is joined by guest Joe DeLeone to discuss wide receiver prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, opening with the broader question of whether teams should keep paying $40M+ for receivers when the college pipeline keeps producing value picks like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. They work through the top tier guys like Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson, and Carnell Tate — agreeing the class lacks a true blue-chip WR1, with Jordyn Tyson drawing the most discussion as the highest-ceiling prospect despite a lengthy injury history that could push him down boards. Omar Cooper Jr. gets praised as a reliable chain-mover out of Indiana but both hosts pump the brakes on first-round buzz, seeing him more as a WR3 who risks being overhyped by draft momentum. The episode closes with wild cards including Deion Burks, Kevin Coleman Jr., Bryce Lance from NDSU, and Brenen Thompson — who stole the combine with a 4.26 40-yard dash.
