Ricky White

Could he have done better if he left after the 2023 season?

I don't know.

He stacked back to back 1k yard seasons and added his ability to be an impact player on special teams.

NFLscouts take QB play and offensive systems into account when evaluating.

I think what lowers his grade maybe is that he's good at a lot of things but not 'elite' at any one thing. He's fast but I'd be surprised if he's one of the 4 fastest at the combine. He has good size but he's not some freak of nature like Metcalf. You see it every year, some SEC dude that's 6'4 220lbs runs a crazy 4.3 in the 40 with some ridiculous vertical and despite middling production gets drafted really high.

Ricky's really hard to predict where he will go.

Steelers have been a team that have found good value in the middle rounds with WRs. I could see a team like them taking him in the 4th round. One of Ricky's under discussed abilities is his willingness to run block. And that will get noticed by scouts.

7th seems late though. Maybe 4th-5th?

If he blows up at combine could move up to the 3rd maybe?

We've had some good WRs in the past like D. Boyd and D. Davis not get drafted. Davis especially seemed like a sure thing with his size

Who knows.

If he gets drafted, I'm thinking 6th round. Like Bull said, he's good but not elite.

But I will give him credit for elusiveness while running after the catch, and on routes, and his team-first attitude in playing on ST's all season. I can forgive him sitting out the bowl game since he did play ST's and he did make the trip.

If he isn't drafted, he will be one of the first free agents contacted by NFL teams. He will be in a preseason camp for sure.
