Draft Note by John Paulsen
Egbuka enters the league with a polished profile and a clear runway to early-season snaps if Chris Godwin misses any time. He posted a strong senior season at Ohio State—81 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns—and finished 27th out of 151 qualified receivers in yards per route run, a strong indicator that his game will translate to the pros. The historical comps are encouraging. Among the 11 first-round receivers drafted in the second half of the round since 2010 who played at least 14 games, the group averaged 58.3-779-5.0. That jumps to 62-879-4.9 if they started at least 10 games, so if Egbuka earns a substantial role early, WR3/WR4 production is in play. Matt Harmon of Reception Perception describes him as “ready-made to be a rock-solid slot-leaning option” with “plenty of production-based upside.” He may not be flashy, but Egbuka’s well-rounded skill set and pro-ready route running make him an intriguing 10th-round pick with a high floor and sneaky upside.
