2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

MARQUISE BROWN

School: Oklahoma

Ht/Wt: 5-10, 160

Best trait: Big play potential. He’s skinny, but possesses elite speed and playmaking ability. He averaged 17.6 yards per reception last season catching 75 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Concern: His small frame. Can he be durable in the NFL? He’s not likely to win many 50-50 balls. The medicals will also be important after he suffered a foot injury in the Big 12 Championship game that limited him in Oklahoma’s playoff loss to Alabama.

Skinny: He played both inside and outside for Oklahoma, and possesses the kind of long speed and run-after-the-catch ability to be a real playmaker in the NFL.

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

D.K. METCALF

School: Ole Miss

Ht/Wt: 6-4, 225

Best trait: Size. Metcalf is a big, physical receiver who also possesses speed. He averaged 21.9 yards per catch in the seven games he played this season.

Concern: He suffered a season-ending neck injury, so the medicals at the Combine will be important for him. He’s a bit raw as an overall prospect, but his upside is huge because of the physical traits.

Skinny: He has rare physical traits that NFL teams will love. Injuries have plagued him in college, so there’s some concern there. He should test well at the Combine. Teams will do their homework on him.

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

DEEBO SAMUEL

School: South Carolina

Ht/Wt: 5-11, 216

Best trait: All-purpose player. Samuel caught 62 passes and had 11 touchdowns last season. He also averaged 24.8 yards per kickoff return, returning one for a touchdown. He’s at his best with the ball in his hands after the catch.

Concern: He had hamstring issues early in his college career. That’s a little concerning. He also doesn’t have a big frame, so his catch radius is limited. He’s probably limited to the slot in the NFL.

Skinny: He was very good at the Senior Bowl, showing an ability to separate from man coverage consistently. He’s electric with the ball in his hands, and also offers teams something on special teams as a return man.

Deebo Samuel is built eerily similar to Anquan Boldin, imo. I wouldn't mind him as a drafted WR but not as early as he's hyped to go. I think his combine might be more relative to Jaylen Samuels and could quite possibly last until early day 3 of the draft. maybe

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

A.J. BROWN


School: Ole Miss

Ht/Wt: 6-1, 230

Best trait: Size. He’s a big slot receiver who can be tough to handle for nickel corners. He broke his own school record last year with 1,320 receiving yards on 85 receptions. He’s extremely strong for a slot receiver.

Concern: He’s one of those receivers who appears to be more quick than he is straight-line fast. How will that play against better athletes in the NFL?

Skinny: He has a rare combination of power and quickness for a slot receiver. He’s crafty in the slot, and knows how to utilize his frame. He should be able to come in and help some team in the slot right away.

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

RILEY RIDLEY

School: Georgia

Ht/Wt: 6-2, 200

Best trait: Route running. Ridley displays good footwork, route running ability and terrific hands -- Everything you need to be a possession-type receiver in the NFL.

Concern: He’s not going to run the 40-yard dash as fast as some of the others. He wins on precision more than pure speed.

Skinny: He’s the younger brother of talented Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley. He caught 44 passes for 570 yards and scored nine touchdowns last season for the Bulldogs. He has good size, and is a crafty route runner with good hands.

Arguably, Ridley is one of the two best route running WR in this class, imo., as the other would have to be J.J. Arcega-Whiteside.

I would side with Arcega-Whiteside as 1 and Ridley as 1a.

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

N’KEAL HARRY

School: Arizona State

Ht/Wt: 6-2, 225

Best trait: Gamer. He was a top 20 high school recruit who came right in as a true freshman to start 12 games, leading all collegiate first-year receivers with 58 catches. He was All-Pac 12 the last two years with over 1,000 receiving yards each year with 17 combined touchdowns.

Concern: He’s not a burner, but more of a physical, body-control type receiver. The 40 time will be important for him at the Combine, because everything else about his game fits the NFL.

Skinny: All he’s ever done is produce. He’s got an NFL frame and plays physical. He wins 50-50 balls, which his future quarterback will love about him. He just knows how to make plays.

^^^^

Another WR whose best asset is 50/50 balls but doesn't get separation consistently and could very well struggle in that department. He'll be over-drafted just like many WR with similar frames. imo.

2019 Combine Preview: Wide receiver

PARRIS CAMPBELL

School: Ohio State

Ht/Wt: 6-1, 205

Best trait: Speed. He’s one of the fastest receivers in the class. The Buckeyes used Campbell as a receiver, runner and return man, figuring the more times they could get the ball in his hands the better it would be for them. He set the Ohio State single-season record with 90 receptions this past season. That included 12 touchdowns.

Concern: He’ll have to develop as a route runner. The Buckeyes utilized him either down the field or with quick hitters. His intermediate game will have to develop along with his route tree.

Skinny: Campbell is dynamic when the ball is in his hands, and can offer something as a receiver, runner or return man in the NFL. A creative offensive coordinator can have some fun with a player like Campbell.

So, former Oklahoma University WR Marquise Brown underwent "Lisfranc" surgery after his season ended.

The B1G featured some impact guys at linebacker this season, but no one was able to catch T.J. Edwards and his 91.1 overall grade

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

sizing issues again, smh

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I really like the possibility of TJ Edwards and I don't believe he'll test well so there's a good chance he lasts well into the 4th round and possibly into the 5th round.

Iowa State's Brian Peavy allowed a mere 0.68 yards per cover snap this season, narrowly edging out Dravon Askew-Henry from West Virginia as best in the Big 12.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

^^^^
Peavy could easily last well into mid 3rd day. He's another nickel/slot CB I'd be interested in should he be available in 6th round.

David Montgomery forced 100 missed tackles rushing this season, almost double the next closest competitor in the Big 12.

There was no contest on who would lead the ACC in quarterback pressures among interior defenders this season: Christian Wilkins.
