This year’s wide receiver class isn’t as loaded as the past two have been but there are still plenty of talented options in the 2023 NFL draft. The Browns have a good wide receiver room for 2023 and though they will likely draft one that player may not need to produce right away. One of my favorite prospects with a ton of upside at the position is West Virginia’s Bryce Ford-Wheaton.
Ford-Wheaton possesses an intriguing combination of size at 6-foot-3 and 224 pounds and speed with elite straight-line speed running a 4.38 40-yard dash. His size makes him difficult to press at the line a scrimmage and gives smaller corners fits with his physicality.
He isn’t a finished product and needs time but he has a nose for the endzone and can turn a short pass into an explosive play in the blink of an eye. He has the tools to be a special teams contributor right away something that could make him intriguing to the Browns. But with a rare blend of physical tools, Ford-Wheaton has the kind of upside you love to bet on.
