82nd overall-Martavis Bryant-Clemson- Size/Speed receiver. Both are in the extremely above average area, but at a 40 almost sub 4.3 and nearly 6’5″ with a little meat on his bones, and than you throw in a 39″ vertical, and you have yourself a match-up nightmare. Especially if you throw this tree in a corp full of them as I highlighted with the possible Benjamin pick. Bryant even has much better speed, and leaping ability. However he is a little underdeveloped as a junior and can use more experience in a pro offense running the full route tree along with ample time in a pro weight/film room, and plenty of time on the practice field. Extremely high ceiling. Calvin Johnson type ceiling.
Alternate pick-Davante Adams-Fresno State- Adams is a big bodied WR with good speed who is best at high pointing the ball down-field, or using his wide frame shielding DB’s from the ball with in slants, and with his back turned to the secondary in zones which probably make him best suited for a west coast type concept passing game like the Bears run. Tremendous leaper who can make the athletic back shoulder fade catches Jay Cutler and the Bears use so much. Nice possession receiver who compares to an Anquan Boldin or even a Michael Crabtree type.
