# Matt Harmon: Harmon ranks the 2025 wide receiver class with Travis Hunter alone in Tier 1, Tetairoa McMillan second, Emeka Egbuka third and Matthew Golden fourth, with Luther Burden and Jalen Noel as his next tier of late first/early second-round types and Jack Bech, Kyle Williams and Tre Harris squarely on Day 2 ahead of Jayden Higgins. **Claimed:** Apr 16, 2025 **Pundit:** Matt Harmon — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/matt-harmon **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/wide-receiver-and-tight-end-prospect-rankings 6 checkable claims — 5 mock draft picks and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 6 have settled so far, averaging 80.7 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Number one tier of his own is Travis Hunter. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jaylin Noel to be picked “late first rounders, early second rounder types” (picks 1–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jaylin Noel - Verdict: scored 52.21 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Luther Burden III to be picked “late first rounders, early second rounder types” (picks 1–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Luther Burden III - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Number one tier of his own is Travis Hunter...
