Quentin Johnston is a premier value candidate, currently going as WR41 despite showing consistent improvement.

The source projects Quentin Johnson as a high-upside receiver in the Chargers' Mike McDaniel offense, going outside the top 90 picks despite being positioned as the Jalen Waddell-equivalent receiver in the system. If Lad McConkie gets injured, Johnson becomes the number-one receiver. The source notes Johnson improved from being one of the worst receivers at catching the ball to closer to average, and he is a perfect fit for McDaniel's system with crossers and pre-snap motion. Johnson's run-after-catch ability and space creation are highlighted as ideal for McDaniel's scheme. The source plans to draft Johnson frequently despite not loving him as an individual player.
