Nailor's 6th-best perimeter separation and weak competition position him as late-round flex upside.

Nailor could step up as the clear number two option for the Raiders this season behind Brock Bowers through the air; he isn't facing stiff competition from Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton, and company. Last year Nailor had only a 10.3% target share, 1.19 yards per route run, and a 10.8% first-read share, but his per-route numbers are quite interesting. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver among the same sample (141 routes), his numbers look even better as he was sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate. Nailor is the final pick in a draft that could pay dividends and become a weekly WR3 or flex if it all works out.
