2024 NFL Draft predictions for Jermaine Burton, Devontez Walker, and Jalen McMillan. What round will Burton, Walker, and McMillan be drafted in, and which NFL teams will draft them? Read their 2024 NFL Draft outlook.
Jermaine Burton NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 74 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Atlanta Falcons
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Jermaine Burton wasn't a super-active contributor for the Georgia Bulldogs early in his career, but he did snag 53 passes for 901 yards and eight touchdowns in his freshman and sophomore campaigns in Athens. Transferring to Alabama for his final two collegiate seasons ended up being a smart move. He collected 79 receptions for 1,475 yards and 15 touchdowns in what turned out to be Nick Saban's final two years with the program.
Ultimately, he has plenty of intrigue as a prospect when Day 2 begins because of his splash-play upside. The California native has sub-4.5 speed and averaged 18.0 yards per reception in his career. The Falcons have been bodied targets in Kyle Pitts and Drake London, but adding more speed alongside Darnell Mooney and Rondale Moore should be a priority in the first year of Kirk Cousins' tenure in an Atlanta uniform.

Devontez Walker NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 77 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Las Vegas Raiders
DRAFT ANALYSIS: North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker had an up-and-down Senior Bowl last week but then ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash and opened eyes in both the vertical jump (40.5 inches) and broad jump (11-foot-2). He had a few drops while catching passes from quarterback Drake Maye at their Pro Day, but he seemed to get better the deeper the passes were. "Definitely speed," Walker said when asked what his superpower was. "Being able to win vertically, throw it over any defense -- I take pride in that. I feel like I can win a foot race with anybody, so I try to make everything a foot race."

Walker still has plenty of things to work on as he transitions to the next level in the NFL, but his speed alone could eventually make him intriguing as a deep threat in fantasy. With Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers on the roster in Las Vegas, Walker could be eased along slowly while acting as an immediate field stretcher for whoever is at quarterback.
Jalen McMillan NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: Third Round (No. 78 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Washington Commanders (via Seattle Seahawks)
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Jalen McMillan is another receiver who projects to primarily be a slot option at the next level. McMillian should rely heavily on YAC in the NFL. He is a quick, fluid mover who is shifty and has a great start-and-stop ability. He also can run through tackles at times. He can win deep from the slot but does have average speed and explosiveness. Still, he should be able to use his size to beat nickels.
With Curtis Samuel gone to Buffalo, McMillan could step in as the starting slot wideout immediately alongside Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.
