Rationale 

[TIER player skill and/or situation declining] 25) Rising Big Play X Star WR for Matt LaFleur offense 26) Elite Slot only player tethered to a great QB and playcaller 27) Elite but aging talent dependent on TDs 28) Same as mike evans but older 29) High End Big Play Speedster who can run real routes but buried on depth chart 30) Rising Slot Stud on very pass heavy offense 31) Underrated X WR with a leading job for Herbert/McDaniels offense 32) Third year breakout candidate still has WR2 upside but poor offense [TIER really worried about volume this year but the talent is there] 33) Great player but limited ceiling with 43 year old rodgers 34) Solid prospect but still a rookie on a bad team with an overrated profile 35) Great prospect with big play upside but a low pass volume offense 36) same as metcalf but less TD upside 37) Near-elite prospect on high volume offense but still QB and year 1 target share concerns

Rationale 

38) Regression candidate with role change after Pittman departure 39) Solid slot option but a little buried on the depth chart for a middling volume offense 40) solid X receiver but now second fiddle to Waddle 41) Great big play flanker but no inside work and massive target competition 42) Great slot only wr with a good floor but a very limited ceiling on Indy 43) same as downs but a worse team 44) gadget player propped up by andy reid and mahomes 45) Solid player but a murky target share and limited QB play 46) Huge upside big play slot but massive injury concerns 47) solid play but limited to flex upside at best [TIER no longer sure players are even good] 48) massive regression candidate and likely third target on a bad team but still flex appeal 49) Probably a wind sprint runner but could connect on a few big plays 50) limited slot player with a known ceiling 51) Longshot rookie with a 0 floor but a huge ceiling 52) Solid 1st round WR but low on the Jets Depth chart 53) Starting Slot and hopefully flanker for Miami (someone has to get 800 yards on this team) 54) Upside Flanker on a great offense but would need a huge leap from year 1 to matter 55) projectable for good volume but low ADOT slot only WR on a bad team.
