Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

With the Colston news and all and reading about the state of receivers, I had to skip DE but will get to that afterwards. Here are the current top five projected in my preferred order.

1.

Obviously we know he's at the top. And honestly it isn't close. He lacks some speed, but is tough and all the other receivers are either short or lacking in muscular build. He's not a Cooper or Watkins however, but for us he'll suffice.

This was one I wasn't expecting to see. He almost made a case for the top because he did look more quicker than Treadwell. However, he's not in the SEC, he's less than 210 pounds(Wiki has him 190, CBS has him 201). But he could work with us because he's not going to be the number 1 receiver that draws defenses and if he does that frees up Cooks. He is 6'2(wiki has him 6'4) that's one positive, and according to DB he drops some passes. But again, he was the top option at TCU. He got hurt last year so there's that concern. If Treadwell does not fall to us, he may be someone we should try to get in 2nd round.

3.

Small sample size, and looks quick. But he's 6'0. The only negative and that's a big one. He does not benefit us over Doctson.

4.Corey Coleman vs Texas Tech (2015) | Draft Breakdown

My issue here is similar to Fuller, he's short in stature. He looks quick in that Baylor offense. But Big 12 competition can be deceiving. He's also possibly inury prone. I'm staying away.

5.

He wasn't even the number 1 here. So he lacked targets, and didn't break away well from defenses either. He also cannot pass block. But we should know never to draft an offensive player from a Meyer system.

Draft
Round 1-Treadwell
Round 2-Doctson
Do Not Draft
Round 1-Coleman
Round 2-Thomas
Round 3-Fuller
