RD 7, Pick 234: WR Dezmin Lewis, Central Arkansas


Recommended Posts

The draft is done!

 

CBS Sports: Dezmin Lewis Draft Profile

 


STRENGTHS: Sports an athletic frame with good muscular development in his upper body. Savvy route-runner who varies his release and gait to create slivers of separation. Soft, natural hands to pluck the ball outside of his frame. Good awareness to avoid the first defender after the catch, showing some wiggle and a burst. Good recognition of the sideline to get a foot down in bounds. Smooth accelerator, though his top-end speed is a question. Good awareness as a downfield blocker, though he could show greater physicality in this area.

 

WEAKNESSES: Lacks explosiveness as a runner and leaper. Relies on deception to sneak deep rather than possessing the top-end speed to challenge over the top. Doesn't consistently use his size to his advantage, mistiming his leaps and pestering rather than controlling opponents as a downfield blocker. Lacks the shiftiness and acceleration to generate much yardage after the catch and does not have the speed to pull away.

"Plenty of teams will surely be interested in picking him late on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) of the draft (or earlier) due to his 6-foot-4 frame alone, but he'll have to round out his game further in order to become a complete NFL receiver. Still, his upside is tantalizing and it's easy to see why he could have a big impact early in his career."

Big kid. Not a speed guy. 3rd down possession WR? Special teams talent.

not a speed guy? He's 6'4 214 and ran a 4.46

 

@ChrisTrapasso: Lewis could certainly be a PS stash for #Bills. But his size and high-pointing skills are intriguing.

Could be a similar type player who Pitt drafted last year late, forgot his name but the tall guy who scored a crap load of td's.

Martavis Bryant. Have to say though he is a tad faster and also had some great plays against much better competition. Still a good comparison. I think it was a great way to end the draft. saw a lot of fourth to fifth round projections
