Roberts is a big, long-striding possession receiver. He has 4.64 40-yard dash speed. With solid testing metrics finishing with an 82nd percentile vertical jump, an 87th percentile broad jump, and an 80th percentile three cone. He will have to continue to diversify his release package in the NFL. There are moments when he wins off the line with speed and has the corner get back into the play. His route salesmanship could also use a few more pitches, as he isn't leaving corners frustrated and burnt often. At his size (6'3"), he can still get in and out of a whip route fairly well. He plays with strength in his routes and at the catch point. He secured 65.7% of his contested targets over the last two years. He has fluid body control and a big catch radius. With his average raw speed, he has issues consistently stacking corners. He'll have to live with muddy catch points, but he has the play strength to win his share of those battles. Roberts profiles as more of a possession receiver than a downfield threat. Drops are a problem that he has to clean up. He finished with a 9.1% drop rate in college. Dynasty Outlook: Roberts went undrafted, but he has signed a UDFA deal with the Raiders. Roberts is one of my favorite taxi squad stashes. The Raiders' wide receiver room is less than inspiring right now. I wouldn't be shocked if he made waves in camp and the preseason and earns a spot on the depth chart. He finished college with a 72nd percentile college dominator, posted good athletic testing, and has a solid analytical resume ranking 31st in yards per route run in 2024.
