Hall of Fame
1 WR Josh Docston 6'2" 202 4.5 41 inch vert, arms * 31 7/8 with hands 9.78 "catches everything" with excellent routes, strength to win 50-50 balls and works back to QB if needed. Perfect weapon for Osweiler and to take coverage from Hopkins whom John Harris compares him to. Speed is great and my second choice for this pick is Baylor's Coleman 4.40 and 4.43 pro but he is not the "sticky fingers" Docston is.
2 WR/slot/PR Sterling Shepherd 5'10" 194 4.48 vert: 41 very good receiver with great routes and double moves to get past defenders. Perfect slot but can play outside with electric feet off line. PR: 19/148 @ 7.79 which is same area as Mumphries. He and Strong are not same type player though latter can slot. SS was not only track star but athletic basket baller. * only 8 drops in 253 catches; very enthusiastic blocker which sets him apart from many especially from slot. Second choice for this pick are RBs Kenneth Dixon or Alex Collins.
3 LT Kyle Murphy 6'6" 305 arms 33 1/2 " another very good Stanford OL. Many voiced he "struggled" during one on ones Senior Bowl week when coaches moved him to RT. During scrimmages and game he played LT and excelled. Very football smart and if he misses a block, he self corrects. Long term NFL future. Osweiler will love this guy.
4 DT/DE/Nose Hassan Ridgeway 6'3" 303 arms 33 grades as 6.17 which is "should be instant starter". If he does not beat out either Wilfork or Covington (DT), he will push both. His senior year was good but few knew he played four games at beginning of season with injuries from car accident. He obviously recovered well as he made national highlights with his sack and 34 yard TD recovery versus Ok State. Nicknamed "green mile" in 2014 by Charlie Strong as a gentle giant he disproved that in 2015 when he played like the green Hulk.
5. LT Willie Beavers 6'4" 324 arms 33 1/2 Western Michigan which limited his national exposure but he is a true LT with very high ceiling, plays in space as if born there and will excel in Texans ZBS. 40 straight games at LT and did well against "A team" Michigan State and Ohio State. He may take longer to adjust to NFL than Murphy but when I watched this player I said "this guy does not back up from any opponent unless he wants to give ground." In 2017 he could push Murphy to RT.
5 RB Keith Marshall 5'11" 219 4.31 (yeah I had to research that also) and knee injuries didn't slow his afterburner much. He was high school 4 A champ at 100 meters. Another excellent player for ZBS and another team could risk higher pick on him. He should do well on ST as a gunner and return man. I expect him to move Blue off roster.
6 SS Trae Elston 5'11" 195 , INTs 4 for 156 and two TDs, 70 tackles with 7 TFL and 16 passes defended. Unfortunately, best known for incident of kicking Alabama RB Kenyan Drake in 2014 after Drake was tackled (broken leg) was suspended only 1/2 game. In Jan 2015 arrested for fighting outside a club. I see little risk in drafting him with extremely high reward.
