IMO Jameson has potential to be a legit 1 in this league. Hyatt is going to be a solid 2
Maybe so, I'm not real big on arguing about which draft prospect is better, it just seems kind of silly, but he seems to have the same weaknesses as Hyatt and a few more.
Overview
Linear route-runner with electric long speed to impact a game as a home-run hitter or decoy drawing defenders away from other elements of the offense. Williams ruins man coverage but faces some limitations.
He has issues getting off press cleanly and might require some scheming to help get off the mark cleanly against certain corners. Catch toughness can be inconsistent when contested or in heavily trafficked areas. He has all the juice to find consistent separation on vertical, over and post/corner routes and could see monstrous production if paired with a high-end talent at quarterback. The ACL tear could play a role in determining his ultimate draft destination, but it's unlikely to change his game.
Strengths
- Record-breaking high school hurdler.
- Smooth route take-off with instant gas.
- Able to eviscerate the cushion and blow by corners.
- Extra burst before route break forces coverage to bail out.
- Separation feels inevitable on long-form patterns.
- Posted FBS-best 11 touchdowns of 30-plus yards in 2021.
- Long-limbed with expansive catch radius.
- Plays with sudden hands to stab and secure high throws.
- Opens hip to extend and grab back-shoulder/hip ball.
- Good YAC stack when catching on the move.
- Returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in 2021.
- Long but lean and lanky.
- Suffered ACL tear in the national title game.
- Press release is narrow and indecisive.
- Strider requiring extra time getting in and out of breaks.
- Competitiveness diminishes near the noise.
- Instances where he failed to finish routes.
- Below-average play strength when battling for catch space.
- Inconsistent tracking and working back to underthrows.
Overview
Long, slender wideout with deep speed that could force defensive coordinators to alter coverage considerations. Hyatt’s gliding gait disguises explosive acceleration that can lead to easy separation on deep throws. However, he does display inconsistency on contested catches comes. Hyatt is ordinary getting in and out of intermediate breaks and might be best with a limited route tree full of slants, crossers and a series of field-stretching patterns. Hyatt is an instantly credible WR2 with the ability to make a huge impact, but production could be erratic due to the limitations of his game.
Strengths
- Top-end speed creates tension for defensive coordinators.
- Run game will see lighter boxes out of defense’s respect for his explosiveness.
- Tears into cushions and rockets past off-man coverage.
- Maintains spacing from physical coverage getting into the route.
- Runs focused vertical routes at crisp angles.
- Glides into acceleration mode at route stems to separate.
- Gets pitch-and-catch opportunities underneath against off-man.
- Finished second in FBS with 15 receiving touchdowns.
- Willing and effective as a perimeter blocker.
Weaknesses
- Scheme created a variety of free releases for him.
- Route tree somewhat limited.
- Lean frame, lacking in play strength.
- Knocked off course when press punch finds him.
- Lacks deception in his short and intermediate routes.
- Unsuccessful holding ground when catch is contested.

“When you have someone who can run like Hyatt you get explosive catches but it also really benefits your running game because safeties can’t get involved as much. He reminds me a lot of watching Will Fuller when he was healthy.” -- Director of scouting for NFC team
