Video: Listener 2026 NFL Draft Q&A: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo & Matt Waldman: 3.16.26
I think it's one of those where I don't think his brand of football allows for him to be a significant contributor in today's game... I don't think he has enough in his bag as an outside receiver to produce 800 plus yards pretty consistently... leaves you with a Josh Palmer type of player... Elijah Surratt who I think is a medium floor medium upside player... if he exceeds that, maybe he's Michael Wilson.

Medium floor/upside; lacks speed and toolkit for 800+ yard consistency

Matt Waldman assesses Elijah Surratt as a medium-floor, medium-upside player whose skill set limits his fantasy ceiling. Waldman argues Surratt lacks the speed to beat interior corners and the outside receiver toolkit to consistently produce 800+ yards, positioning him as a Josh Palmer-type contributor rather than a high-end fantasy asset. Waldman notes Surratt may exceed Palmer's floor and reach Michael Wilson upside in best-case scenarios, but expects a real-life contributor role without significant fantasy production.
