The Washington offense was the most electric in college football this season. There’s a reason that Michael Penix Jr. and Rome Odunze are two of the most well-known names in this draft. Ja’Lynn Polk isn’t too far behind.

The hype is well-deserved after Odunze and Polk each had well over 1,000 yards receiving and combined for 22 touchdowns.

According to NFL Mock Draft Database, McMillan is projected to be a third-rounder and ranks 82nd on their consensus big board.

Those rankings seem to be punishing McMillan for the knee injury that he dealt with throughout the 2023 season. He missed four games in his final collegiate season and was the third option in Washington’s offense.

That wasn’t the case when he was healthy in 2022, though. He was right there with Odunze in terms of production and a clear favorite over Polk. He had four more catches (79) and two more touchdowns (9) than Odunze while cracking 1,000 yards receiving.

B/R scout Derrik Klassen is higher than consensus on McMillan. His 7.5 grade for the receiver puts him at No. 40 on our big board which is actually ahead of Polk at No. 48.

He praised the receiver for his sharp route-running and consistent hands among other strengths. While he figures to primarily work as a slot receiver, he can also win on the outside with his routes.

The 6’1″, 198-pound receiver isn’t getting enough credit for his 2022 season. The team that targets him on Day 2 could wind up with a steal.

Potential Fits: Cincinnati Bengals, Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
