Exactly what I'd love to spend a draft pick on, especially at the wide receiver position.
Let's see the positives:
Good hands
Negatives:
Short
Slow
Can't Jump
One Year Starter
Piled up stats opposite of Odell Beckham
Sounds like a potential first rounder to me, especially in this draft where there are a bunch of 6'3" guys who run a 4.4 40 and have 36" verticals with very good college production behind those measurables.

Who said anything about the 1st round? At worst Landry is Jason Avant in the NFL, a reliable slot guy who moves the chains on 3rd downs. At best he's the next Hines Ward or Anquan Boldin who, guess what, also happened to run a 4.7 at the combine.
You'd be a fool if you watched his tape and came away thinking that he was actually a 4.7 guy on the field and just an Ok receiver. Last year's rookie sensation, Keenan Allen, clocked a 4.71 at his pro day.
