He made way too many plays for me to think he’ll go that late.

I’m guessing around the 4th.

He may be one of those classic case guys where he better run well at the Combine or he drops because he isn't overly good at anything. He hasn't proven he can run between the tackles and he definitely doesn't look to have the speed or quickness to be an NFL WR. His best fit seems to be RB, but unless he runs in the mid-to-low 4.5s, I have a hard time seeing him go where he's "projected."

Yeah, I don't think he'll necessarily time well or blow anyone away. I also don't think he's going to be the centerpiece of an offense.

But I think he's extremely versatile and could be a joker type player. He would allow you to be creative with your roster in that he could play multiple positions.

Of course versatile also means not great at anything so there is that.

Versatility is a big reason I really like Garrett Dickerson out of Northwestern. He can drop into the backfield and be a very effective blocking FB or he can split out and be a very effective move TE. He has quality size at 6'3" 248. He doesn't really have experience running the football from the backfield, but Reid never really called to hand Sherman the football either. He's a guy that saves you a roster spot.

He's definitely bigger, but I think Samuels has more upside than that. Jaylen could be your backup tight end, H back. I think he could play the Hernandez role he played for the Pats. He's probably not as dynamic but he fills alot of spots.

Plus he can return kicks.

I'm anxious to see what he runs though.
