51st overall-Donte Moncrief-Ole Miss- Moncrief is a size/speed receiver. Probably profiles best as an X even though he does have the speed to play split end. He can probably eventually play anywhere along the line once he gets more experience as he has the size, speed, and quickness to play against any match-up in the secondary. Has springs for legs -which along with his speed and size both in height and girth- makes him a big play threat down-field. Does not really have a lot of wiggle so he’s not a RAC guy, but has the size to shield defenders off, and make catches in soft zones, as well as outrunning, and out leaping DB’s down-field. Red Zone threat. Potential to be a number one, and probably has number 2 floor.

Alternate pick-Jordan Mathews-Vanderbilt- Not really much Mathews doesn’t have to be a top play-maker as a WR in the NFL. Good size at 6’3″ 215-although he could probably use a little more time in the weight room- big strong hands, and he’s a hand’s catcher, good speed for his size under 4.5, excellent leaping ability, very willing blocker, leadership qualities as he was a 4 year team captain, and highly intelligent. In a normal draft he’s possibly a top 20 player.
