ESPN&#8217;s Field Yates recently ranked the draft prospects in the top 200 based on his assessment of each player&#8217;s overall skill level and what he has seen on tape.<\/p>\n<p>According to Yates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/tetairoa-mcmillan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Tetairoa McMillan<\/a> of Arizona is the top wide receiver and is ranked No. 14 overall. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/travis-hunter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Travis Hunter<\/a> of Colorado is technically the first receiver on the list \u2014 he is ranked No. 1 overall \u2014 many believe that the reigning Heisman Trophy winner will end up playing as a defensive back in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>While playing defense, Hunter recorded 36 tackles, four interceptions and 10 pass breakups last season.

His 84 catches for 1,319 receiving yards and eight TDs last season earned him first-team AP All-American and first-team All-Big 12 honors.<\/p>\n<p>Yates added that McMillan stands out among the WRs in this class due to his big stature and catch radius, which allow him to make the difficult 50-50 grabs.<\/p>\n<p>Ranked next to McMillan at No. 15 is another WR, Texas&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/matthew-golden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Matthew Golden<\/a>, whose 4.29-second 40-yard sprint at the NFL Scouting Combine was the fastest among all offensive participants.<\/p>\n<h2>Tetairoa McMillan lands with the Houston Texans in Field Yates&#8217; mock draft<\/h2>\n<p>In their latest joint mock draft, ESPN&#8217;s Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr. made a surprising prediction that Tetairoa McMillan of Arizona, who is considered by many as a possible top 20 pick in the class, would be selected at No. 25.<\/p>\n<p>According to their mock draft, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/houston-texans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Houston Texans<\/a> will select McMillan. He could immediately contribute to Houston&#8217;s offense alongside Nico Collins, but given his pre-draft standing, it&#8217;s unlikely that the standout receiver will still be available when the team selects at No. 25.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans&#8217; best option is to trade up the board if they want to choose McMillan. The 2025 NFL draft will begin on April 24, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/909915-1713559621-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Habib Timileyin&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nHabib Timileyin has been an NFL journalist at Sportskeeda for 2 years.
