Cayleb Jones, WR, Arizona

Next, we have Cayleb Jones out of Arizona. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound wide receiver has tremendous potential, but he never really put it all together in college.

He has shown flashes as a great wideout at times.  Using his big body to win 50-50 balls and his strength are what really standout.  When being pressed coming off the line of scrimmage is when he is at his best.  Using that strength of his to take on corners and then get past them is when he excels.

He is not the fastest receiver, but in the New Orleans Saints offense, you don’t have to be fast — you just have to get separation.  He definitely would be a project, but most late-round picks are. Expect Jones to go somewhere around the fifth round.

Next: Michael Thomas
