On this week’s episode of Scarlett Jimmies, Cam Mellor, who covered college football the past couple of seasons for PFF and now writes for SB Nation’s Pac-12 football blogs, joins me to discuss the top receivers in the NFL Draft. It won’t take long for you to figure out Cam knows his football. This is our most in-depth podcast yet, and the easiest to record since we’re going back and forth discussing our views.

The reason we’ve been talking so heavily about wide receivers in the draft is that the 49ers position looks bleak when you look beyond 2020.

From there, we get into some sleeper names you should be familiar with, as well as some players we feel are overrated. This episode has everything, from the top receivers after the catch, to the top deep threats. We finish by giving our top-five.

Enjoy!
