Landers is expected to sign with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Landers took advantage of an extra year of eligibility due to Covid rules to transfer from Toledo to Arkansas in 2022. In his one year as a starter for Arkansas, Landers led the team with 907 receiving yards on 47 catches while adding eight touchdowns. Landers has legitimate upside with his vertical speed and catch radius, but concerns over his run blocking, special teams inexperience and age (he turns 24 in June) could limit his NFL projection.

Bobo is expected to sign with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

After four years at Duke, Bobo transferred to UCLA for his senior year, and he had 57 receptions for 817 yards and seven touchdowns. He was previously named third-team All-ACC at Duke in 2021 and was an All-Pac-12 Honorable mention with UCLA in 2022 as he led the team in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns. Bobo was able to utilize his 6-foot-4 size advantage at the college level, but it will not be as profound at the NFL level, and he will have to improve on his speed and cuts if he wants to stick on a team roster. He could be a potential convert to tight end if he, with the direction of the Seahawks' staff, is committed to adding weight during his training and development.

The Packers selected DuBose in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 256th overall.

DuBose spent three seasons at Charlotte and was a threat inside the red zone. Across 24 games in his final two seasons, he tallied 15 touchdowns and 126 receptions. The Packers added Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks ahead of DuBose in the draft, so he may have a hard time cracking the roster out of training camp.

The 49ers selected Bell in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 253rd overall.

Bell has an impressive resume after playing five years at Michigan, particularly for falling so late in the draft. However, he lacks speed and burst, so there is significant concern that he won't be able to separate from coverage as a pro. The 49ers receiving corps isn't overly impressive after Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, so Bell could have a shot to make the roster as a depth piece.

The Cowboys selected Brooks in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 244th overall.

Brooks began his collegiate career at North Carolina before ultimately transferring to South Carolina. As a result, he didn't post much meaningful production until his senior season, during which he recorded 33 receptions, 503 yards and a touchdown. He doesn't possess many standout traits as a pro, though Dallas lacks quality depth among its wide receiver corps so it's a decent landing spot.

The Titans selected Dowell in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 228th overall.

Dowell becomes the first wide receiver drafted by the Titans this year. An impressive athlete given his size (6-foot-3), Dowell registered a 4.42 40-yard dash, 41.5-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot broad jump. As a rookie, he'll look to secure a depth role behind Treylon Burks, Chris Moore, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips.

The Lions selected Green in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 219th overall.

A multi-sport athlete in high school, Green emerged as a valuable deep threat in his final two seasons at North Carolina, averaging over 19 yards per reception. Expect the 23-year-old to compete as an outside receiver for the Lions, who released Quintez Cephus earlier last week.

The Patriots selected Douglas in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 210th overall.

Small (5-foot-8, 179 pounds) but quick and explosive, Douglas was a major contributor at Liberty in his college career. He was a top target for Malik Willis in 2021 and did even better without him in 2022 with 79 catches for 993 yards and six touchdowns. He's one of two receivers selected by the Patriots in this class, so there's a long way for him to go before he climbs the depth chart, but Douglas is intriguing. To help matters, he had a punt return touchdown and a 75-yard rushing touchdown on his resume in college. He is versatile and will be interesting to follow in the preseason.

The Texans selected Hutchinson in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 205th overall.

Hutchinson was projected to be a borderline Day 2 pick by many, so the Texans finally ended his slide. He was a target hog and very productive at Iowa State, highlighted by First Team All-American honors as a senior. Hutchinson doesn't pop off the page with athleticism which contributed to his fall, but he should have the chance to establish himself as a viable possession receiver as a pro.

The Bengals selected Iosivas in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 206th overall.

An Ivy League product out of Princeton, Iosivas is an interesting prospect. He has a track background and checks in at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds with low 4.4 speed and good leaping ability. Ivy League corners couldn't match up with him as he racked up 66 catches for 943 yards and seven scores in 2022. He'll need to prove that he's more than a speedster to stick at the next level, and landing in Cincinnati means he's starting his career way down the depth chart. To make matters worse for Iosivas, the Bengals also added wideout Charlie Jones earlier on Day 3.
