- Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave and Alabama wide receiver John Metchie are among Washington’s pre-draft visits.
- Daxton Hill
- Wydermyer

No Drake Loundon WR USC? I feel like he or Olave will be the pick.I thought Stingly jr was on there too, but can't confirm

He is exactly what we need. Would be our charger duo of Allen & Williams in McClauren & London. Nice! Throw in Samuel, Thomas, McKissick and Gibson and we are talking.scratch that. I think it was 4/5.

I would also like to see this staff seriously look for another athletic TE in this draft. There are a few and with Thomas coming off injury, we could use our Kelce clone along with Bates. I'm interested in Isaiah Likely, Coastal Carolina at 6'5, 245 former WR turned TE. His background as a WR and athletic ability at the catch point makes him intriguing. Another Wentz target would certainly help. Add London with #11 and possibly Likely in the 4th.Im not against it.

Bio: 247Sports.com graded Isaiah Likely as a two-star wide receiver coming out of Everett High School in Massachusetts. He was recruited by some smaller programs in the northeast, including Central Connecticut State and Massachusetts, but signed with Coastal Carolina. Likely made the move to tight end, and is probably glad that he did. He caught 32 passes for 431 yards and five touchdowns during the 2019 season, and then another 30 passes for 601 yards and five more scores as a junior in 2020.
Last season Likely exploded, catching 59 passes for 912 yards and 12 touchdowns. His production earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl, where according to some he made a case for TE1.
Stat to Know: Whether due to his background as a receiver or not, Likely is a deep threat in the passing game. He caught seven deep passes and gained 191 yards on such throws, both top-ten numbers at the position according to charting data from Pro Football Focus.
Strengths: Again, it is likely due to his background as a receiver but Likely is the most comfortable player at the catch point in this class. He displays impressive strength at the catch point, is confident adjusting to off-target throws and balls placed outside of his frame, and had enough long speed to run away from defenders from all levels of the field.
Likely is a refined route-runner, with the ability to set up defenders, stress their leverage and then break away from them and create separation. On this play against Georgia State, Likely aligns isolated to the left side of the field and runs a post route against a cornerback. Watch as he threatens the defender to the outside and then works across his face, making an impressive catch to boot:

He showcased that skill-set on this seam route against Troy. Working out of the left slot he pushes vertically, and with the defense showing the middle-of-the-field open, he threatens to the outside before bending back towards the middle. When the pass is underthrown, he then works back to the football for the reception:

Finding a role for him in the NFL might be the tough part, but these play-making skills are hard to ignore.
Weaknesses: That leads us to perhaps the biggest weakness. What is his NFL role? He might be the quintessential move tight end, but is the league trending away from that kind of player? Can he serve as a big slot/power slot option for teams? Perhaps. But his size and usage make it tougher to project an NFL role for him.
Likely is a willing blocker, but his best work came when operating in space against defenders along the boundary. If a team drafts him and drops him in-line, tasked with handling defensive ends and outside linebackers, he is going to need to add some size, and will need some schemed help out of the box.
Conclusion: Likely is perhaps the toughest projection out of this tight end group. You can see how Coastal Carolina used him, as a hybrid TE/WR, and the results he delivered in the passing game. But can he translate that from Saturdays to Sundays? If he adds to his frame, will that take away some of the long speed and explosiveness we saw on film? He bulked up to 245 for the Combine and still posted a 36-inch vertical, so perhaps the potential is there for him to add to his frame yet remain an explosive athlete.
Comparison: Pro Football Focus compared him to Robert Tonyan, and that might be the kind of usage that would work for him at the next level. Drop him into an offense in that Shanahan/McVay/LaFleur tree, let him work vertically and to space in the flats, and give him help as a run blocker whether in-line or on the wing, and enjoy.
