DEVONTA SMITHWR, ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

Pro Football Network's Tony Pauline writes that Alabama WR Devonta Smith has a "much more complete game" than Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle.Pauline particularly likes Smith-over-Waddle on the fronts of route-running, reliability of hands and contested catch prowess. That's not to say that the analyst is down on Waddle -- he loves Waddle's game-breaking speed and ability to impact the game as both a receiver and a special teams cog. In his most recent mock draft, Pauline has the Alabama duo swept off the board within a few picks of each other, projecting the Lions to draft Smith at No. 7 and the Giants to draft Waddle at No. 11 in the first round.

• D'WAYNE ESKRIDGEWR, WESTERN MICHIGAN BRONCOS

  Pro Football Network's Tony Pauline believes that Western Michigan WR D'Wayne Eskridge could potentially be drafted as early as the second round.Pauline was asked in his latest mailbag whether Eskridge had a shot at Day 2. The answer on that, in the analyst's estimation, would be "definitely." And then some. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound wideout has consistently drawn positive scouting buzz this winter/spring and the speedster is near the top of the second tier of this position class once you get past the big names. Eskridge should be able to ace the 40-yard dash when he runs it at WMU's pro day later this month (March 25, specifically).

• JOSH IMATORBHEBHEWR, ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI

  Illinois WR Josh Imatorbhebhe recorded a vertical jump of 46.5 inches on pro day.Leapin' lizards. If that jump had been logged in an official combine setting, it would have topped the vertical record of 46 inches set by UNC S Gerald Sensabaugh back in 2005. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder comes equipped with (obvious) athleticism, but also has a bad tendency for drops and only turned in one truly solid season at the college level, that coming in 2019 when he logged a 33-634-9 receiving line while averaging 19.2 yard per grab. Imatorbhebhe's athleticism alone could potentially push him to a Day 3 selection as a lottery ticket flier, but his is not a clean evaluation.

• TERRACE MARSHALL JR.WR, LSU TIGERS

  In the opinion of Pro Football Network draft analyst Ian Cummings, LSU WR Terrace Marshall Jr. will likely be a Day 2 selection in next month's draft. With Ja'Marr Chase opting out of the 2020 season, Marshall (6'3/200) ascended into the WR1 role for the Tigers this past fall. In spite of the inconsistency of LSU's quarterbacks, Marshall finished the season with a 48-731-10 receiving stat line. While Cummings believes that the LSU pass-catcher will ultimately be a Day 2 selection, he also has concerns after Marshall's production slipped during the latter portion of the season. "But Marshall’s slight decline before his final game obstructed the upward trajectory, and by the end of the year, Marshall Jr. left questions unanswered, among them: Can he play to his 6-foot-3 size consistently? Can he contribute as a run blocker?" Cummings wrote. Marshall's performance at LSU's pro day, which will be held March 31, will go a long way towards determining his draft potential.

  ELIJAH MOOREWR, MISSISSIPPI REBELS

  Pro Football Network draft analyst Ian Cummings recently described Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore as an "explosive, home-run hitting skill player." "Explosive home-run-hitting skill player who consistently turns in big plays whenever the ball is in his hands," Cummings wrote. "Fires off the snap, quickly gets in and out of breaks. Stays low on exit, positioning himself to make the reception." Moore (5'9/185) is lacking when it comes to his size, but there have been no such questions regarding his speed or route-running ability. In fact, Cummings also wrote that Elijah may be the best "Moore" in this draft class, and not Purdue's Rondale Moore. Elijah is expected to be a Day 2 selection in next month's draft.

IHMIR SMITH-MARSETTE, WR, IOWA

Well, today is 11.
Smith-Marsette didn’t light up the stat sheet in Iowa, but I’m confident he’ll be a better pro than he was a college player. Smith-Marsette’s film is straight good, with solid reps as both a field-stretcher and an underneath target with RAC ability. Smith-Marsette’s special teams value is sick, as he returned 50 kicks through 2018 and 2019 for 1,200 yards and two touchdowns. And Smith-Marsette’s athleticism is good.
Teammate Brandon Smith was one of the earliest big testers of the cycle, but Smith-Marsette quietly had a great Pro Day as well. A 37-inch vert jump and 10-foot-4-inch broad jump detail his explosiveness, as well as a reported 1.44s 10-yard split on his 40-yard dash—that’s just bananas acceleration. Only four wide receivers in Mockdraftable’s database have had a better 10-yard split.
Smith-Marsette almost broke my top-10 list for wide receivers, and simply checks every box that matters to me in the cycle. He’ll be a solid pro.

JAYLEN WADDLEWR, ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

In his latest mock draft, NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah projected the Arizona Cardinals to select Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle with the No. 16 pick.Jeremiah refers to Waddle as a "big-time steal" if the wideout remains on the board to this point in the draft, but while we aren't going to argue the general value point, the value for the Cardinals (specifically) would be questionable at best. Such a pick would be a luxury pick with DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green (among others) already on roster. Not just a luxury pick -- a luxury pick which plays directly into the Achilles Heel of Cards HC Kliff Kingsbury, who was notorious at Texas Tech for building explosive offenses without any kind of defense to back them up. And if Arizona does go offense on Day 1, their most pressing need on that side of the ball is an offensive lineman, anyway, not a receiver.

Would love to grab another top WR this year, but unfortunately with  OL and  DE needs must when the devil drives.
