2682571, WR Emanuel Hall, Missouri

Silky deep threat that might be a better pro than collegian. For a 6'3 receiver he has a small man's take-off, and eats teams alive when they play off-coverage. At the catch point he's just OK -- he'll make some impressive adjustments to crappy Drew Lock throws, then flub an easy one. He's also not that strong through contact (probably plays at 190 pounds), so he'll lose his share of receptions during a tackle or going to the ground.

His separation is real, though. A tall, flexible who can get free in the deep third? That's coveted, despite any other flaws.

+ Eight touchdowns over 50+ yards in his last 15 games
+ Explosive acceleration; gets to top speed before a lot of corners can open their hips
+ Smooth in his breaks and can spin-top defensive backs on posts or corners
+ Lined up all over the field and most guys are scared to press him earnestly

- Sporadic availability throughout his career (hamstring, groin injuries kept him from being an All-SEC player); needs European sports car maintenance
- Not a natural hands-catcher and will cradle or awkwardly reach for direct throws
- Has trouble finishing plays, especially when defenders get physical
- Shitty blocker on even the most basic assignments
