Troy Franklin is a better vertical threat as well at everything and I bet you he tests better. pic.twitter.com/JEeAJBZfv0— Snoog’s Dynasty Society (@FFSnoog) February 4, 2024

He’s also able to do it without losing much momentum off the snap which only helps him with his smooth build up down the field. Weakness Franklin’s lanky frame does tend to burden him in contested catch situation so it’d be ideal to see him fill out his frame ever-so slightly to better handle the physicality of NFL corners. At his size, he can also struggle to sink his hips to get in and out of breaks in the short to intermediate areas. If defenders aren’t scared that he’ll take them deep, they don’t struggle nearly as much to stick in his hip pocket. Round Prediction: Second round More and more teams are seeing just how impactful a lot of these top receivers are becoming as rookies in the NFL. After big seasons from guys like Zay Flowers, Jordan Addison, Puka Nacua, and Tank Dell, everyone will be trying to find the next big thing. With that in mind, I expect a ton of receivers to go within the first two rounds of this draft, and Franklin should be right in the thick of that group.
