Grades For the First Round of the 2014 NFL Draft

A+. <p>After going No. 7 overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mike Evans proved to be a big-time receiver. He was one of the three receivers the racked up over 1,000 yards receiver this year. Evans had 68 catches for 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns without the best of quarterbacks throwing to him.</p> <p>Josh McCownhas only had one good year in 12, and 2014 wasn’t that good year and Evans still got his. That’s because he provides an enormous catch radius at 6’5″, 231 pounds and a good vertical leap. And those hands he has to go with all that allows him to go up and get it over guys too.</p> <p>You can’t underestimate his speed either or he will run by you and you won’t know how he did it. So yes, the Buccaneers get the highest of marks for making a pick with this immediate impact. And with 2015 first-round pick Jameis Winston coming on board, look for them to do some damage.</p>. WR. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. EVANS
