Huge risk/reward receiver declares for 2025 NFL draft

The wide receiver class of the 2025 NFL draft is shaping up to be very deep. This group is headlined by a minimum of five receivers who should go in the first round and then a second tier of receivers who have the talent to go in the top 60 picks but all of them have flaws that could tank their draft stock.

One of these high-risk/high-reward receivers who just declared for the draft is former LSU wideout Kyren Lacy. Lacy posted on social media his time at LSU is over and he’s heading on to the NFL.

 

Lacy is a tough player to scout because teams have to take into consideration more than just his development as a wide receiver. 2024 finally showed Lacy making the most of his skill set on the field and at times he looked like a first-round prospect. But there are concerns about his maturity on the field and a team has to weigh out if he’s grown up enough to warrant a high draft pick. The best thing for Lacy would be to land with a team where he isn’t asked tobe the No. 1 and the team already has a stable veteran group who can mentor him.
