Pros:
Drafted with the 45th pick, before Davante Adams, Cody Lattimer, or Allen Robinson.
Has Russell Wilson as his quarterback.
Ran a 4.33 combine 40, according to the updated nfldraftscout times (0.02 slower than Brandin Cooks, 0.06 faster than Sammy Watkins), and was top 10 in the vertical & broad jumps.
Third most productive WR in college football in 2013, according to my numbers, behind Cooks & Evans. Had an 83/1343/10 stat line over 12 games. Accounted for 45% of his team's receiving yards, 48% of his team's receiving touchdowns, 28% of his team's offensive touchdowns, and 70% of his team's 40+ yard receptions. His yards per target was above average, and much higher than his team's yards per attempt when throwing to other players, despite his heavy usage.
Cons:
Skinny. 23.5 BMI at 6' 0 3/8", 175 lb.
Seattle has had a low number of pass attempts the past two years.
He is being rated a lot lower than his draft position would suggest (29th rookie at DLF), and it mostly seems to be because he's skinny. That's definitely a knock on him, but if Seattle was willing to take him ahead of those other receivers while knowing his size then maybe it shouldn't be knocking him down so far?
