WR Dominic Lovett, Georgia, Round 7 (No. 244 overall)

Cosell: “Lovett’s tape at both Missouri and Georgia showed a quicker than fast wide receiver who was outstanding working out of the slot in the quick-timing passing game and who was often featured on manufactured touches like tunnel screens and jet sweeps to take advantage of his natural twitch and quickness as a dynamic run-after-catch weapon.

“Lovett at Georgia in 2023 was deployed in specific ways and was highly effective in the context of their passing game but you did not see a lot of routes versus man coverage where he had to separate at the top of his route stem although he did more of that in 2022 at Missouri, including running by slot corners and safeties on vertical routes. There is no question he has the natural quickness to do that.

“In 2023, Lovett was almost exclusively a space player rarely challenged off the line of scrimmage or through his route stem when he did release vertically with the question being whether that is the way he will best project to the next level which then limits how he can be deployed or will we see a more expanded role in 2024 to give a larger picture of what he can be in the NFL.

“In 2024, Lovett was again predominantly deployed as short, quick game receiver with a high percentage of his routes coming within five yards of the line of scrimmage or on manufactured touches but there were snapshots of route running from the slot in which he showed separation quickness at the top of the route stem.

“Lovett consistently showed excellent run-after-catch traits with a strong combination of elusiveness and shiftiness and short-area burst, which allows an offense to feature him on tunnel screens and quick game throws in which he has space.

“My sense watching Lovett is that there is much more to his game than what he was asked to do at Georgia and there were snapshots of that. At the next level, he can be deployed in multiple ways including as a movement receiver and the manufactured touches that were predominant in college and as much more of an intermediate route runner with both separation and route quickness.”
