STRENGTHS
Catch-Point Dominance: Exceptional ball tracking, body control, and hand-eye coordination allow him to win 50/50 balls, particularly on back-shoulder throws and in the red zone.
Route Precision: Disciplined route runner who uses body movement and speed changes to create separation.
Competitive Toughness: Highly productive and rugged, with 44 career TDs, capable of fighting through traffic and playing physical.
Versatility: Proven ability to produce at different levels of competition (St. Francis, James Madison, Indiana) and align inside or outside.
WEAKNESSES
Limited Speed/Acceleration: Lacks elite vertical speed to threaten NFL cornerbacks over the top consistently.
Press Coverage Struggles: Can be slowed by long, physical defenders who jam him at the line of scrimmage, with tight-hipped movements limiting his release.
Average Yards After Catch (YAC): Lacks the explosive elusiveness to turn short passes into massive gains, offering only moderate value after the catch.
Blocking Technique: Needs improvement in hand placement and sustaining blocks for run-game efficiency.

DRAFT ANALYSIS
Rapid Reaction to Draft Capital: Below Average
Rapid Reaction to Landing Spot: Below Average
Sarratt was selected with the 115th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. The Day 3 draft capital is disappointing, and the landing spot is less than ideal, given the Ravens already took Ja’Kobi Lane on Day 2.
FANTASY INSIGHTS
Sarratt was projected in the 3rd round before the draft.
In your rookie drafts, he is more than likely a mid-third-round pick. Although he slid in the NFL Draft, he still is one of the best wide receivers in this class, and he should have every opportunity to battle for the starting spot with Lane.
