Draft Note by John Paulsen
London's profile creates a genuine tension between the eye test and the numbers. His ESPN OPEN score (31st percentile) and OVERALL (33rd percentile) suggest he rarely beats coverage cleanly–and yet his PFF route grade is 97th percentile and his YPRR is 92nd percentile, both among the best in the league. In 11 games last season he averaged 13.8 points per game–WR7 on a per-game basis–with 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns. His 27th-percentile avoided tackle rate tells you he's not elite at extending plays after the catch, which further concentrates his value in volume and red zone usage. He's going as the WR8 in an offense that also features Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts, and the upside is a top-5 finish.
