No. 4: Dorial Green Beckham
Talent-wise, Missouri Tigers receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has the ultimate deep threat skill-set. At 6’6″, 225 pounds, he’s expected to jump over 40 inches and run his 40 under 4.4 at the combine. If he puts all this together, he will have that Randy Moss-Calvin Johnson type of impact.
But I only have him at No. 4 because he hasn’t quite put it all together as a deep threat just yet. He may have this year but he was ineligible to play so we still have yet to see him put it together. As it is, he averaged 15 yards per catch back in 2013 to bring his career number up to 14.7.
