BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~156 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~168
ANALYSIS: Jalin Hyatt is my most drafted WR this season partially because he goes so late and partially because I believe a breakout is coming. The Giants last season had the fewest pass attempts, completions, and yards on deep passes. They have a receiver room filled with slot receivers and desperately need speed and explosiveness.
He has already earned a role with the starting offense if the preseason is any indication. Plus, he could continue to earn more as the Giants' most explosive receiver. This is partially about his talent fitting the team's needs perfectly and partially about me trusting Brian Daboll to get the most out of his players.
Here is what I wrote about Hyatt leading into the NFL Draft: Hyatt is a long strider who consistently wins downfield and can also win after the catch. He has a great ability to track the ball, while not slowing down. He can speed up and create some more space while tracking the deep ball. Hyatt’s 3.12 yards per route ran in 2022 leads all the receivers I am writing about in this series.
His 7.5 YAC per reception is third. Showing that he can win in a multitude of ways. He had 27 catches of 15-plus yards last year and his 19.2 yards per catch were second in this bunch behind only Mims. There is a lot to like about Hyatt the athlete and the deep threat.
