    Compared to the other receivers in this year's draft, where would this guy rank, and is he a fit for us?

    Nam
    Height 6'0"
    Weight: 200lbs

    Positives: Looks the part. Athletic build with room for additional mass. Rare straight-line speed. Eats up the cushion quickly and can blow by the defender. Smooth acceleration and has a late burst to pull away if being challenged. Can track the ball over his shoulder. Developing into a more reliable route-runner and pass-catcher. Has the foot quickness and balance to be a good route-runner and can sink his hips. Generally uses his hands to make the reception, though he still allows too many into his pads. Has some lateral agility to make defenders miss. Game breaking receiver that consistently makes big plays from the line of scrimmage. Quickly gets into pass routes, displays a burst of speed and runs away from defenders in the open field. Nicely makes the reception running full speed and looks the pass into his hands. Gets vertical, grabs the ball from the air and returns to the field on balance then continues running after the reception. Solid athlete who nicely adjusts to the errant throw and makes the catch in stride."

    Negatives: Still a work in progress as a route-runner. Learning to sink his hips and explode out of his cuts, as he has to gather himself too much. Struggles a bit against press coverage. Has to use his hands better to gain a quick release. Lets too many passes into his pads, resulting in some ugly drops. Doesn't consistently show the vision and elusiveness in the open field to truly capitalize on his pure speed. Needs an open lane as a returner to break off a big gain. Not a physically strong receiver. Limited in the types of routes he can run

    Based on the scouting reports Im guessing youre talking about Robert Woods in which case Id say 7th and about 50-60 overall.

    Round 3.

    Seems a lot of issues can be corrected but needs a bit of time to develop.

    Depends on where Jeff Ireland ranks him on his free agency board.

    Yes sirs. It is.

    Just thought it would be interesting to consider where we would slot Wallace if he were coming out with this years crop. Would he be our top ranked guy? Would he be highly desirable, compared to the other options and why or why not.

    For this years crop? He could probably contend as a high 2 as there isn't much separation.
