The NFL Draft is rapidly approaching.
Teams across the league have just a few weeks to finalize their draft boards, solidifying their top options.
Ahead of this draft, many NFL analysts put together mock drafts, ranking each position group.
Recently, Chris Simms, noted draft analyst, has said that he believes that Zay Flowers is the best receiver in the class.

Over the last several months, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been unanimously discussed as the top receiving prospect.
However, not everyone within the industry shares this belief, including Simms.
During the NFL Combine, Flowers ran a 4.42 40-yard dash, which was surprising to many.
This was one of the quickest times of any wide receiver, and his draft stock rose significantly after this event.
He has also been graded as one of the top prospects by the NFL.
Flowers was an impactful player in the Boston College offense in 2022, amassing 78 receptions, 1,077 yards, and 12 touchdowns.
This was the best season of his career, and he will look to build on that success in the NFL.
Although Simms has recently graded Flowers as the top receiver in the draft, there have been some concerns raised about his size.
At the combine, Flowers ‘ measurables were 5-foot-9 and 182 pounds.
Many are concerned that his size will limit his ability to be a superstar in the NFL.
However, similar concerns were raised about DeVonta Smith, who has been able to rise above his doubters, putting together two straight impressive seasons on the Philadelphia Eagles.
