Here we go my first look out for guys is this. WR

ANDREI IOSIVAS WR PRINCETON
https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/And ... -Princeton
Athletic freakazoid. These numbers are flat-out ridiculous as well. When thrown at his QB's ratings were 118, 117, and 118. So a WR with freaky althetic ability. Sign me up coach. As of right now he is considered UFA material. We know that will change after workouts and combine.

RASHEE RICE WR SMU

2nd rounder right now. Will probably go up though.

PUKA NACUA WR BYU
https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Puk ... Washington

My buddy who is a Mormon Minister and luvs BYU football raves about this kid. So for him, I throw him out there. Saw a game this year and he blocked good and that was about all I had to say about him from watching that game. The kid if the numbers are right has some freakish athletic ability and the QBR, when thrown his way, is flat-out ridiculous. 145, 144, 122 and 119.

JONATHAN MINGO WR OLE MISS
https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jon ... WR-OleMiss

Seems like I have been hearing about this kid for 5 years. His QB's weren't the best and he was a 4 star recruit coming out of HS. His hands are HUGE. I have watched Ole Miss games to see him. Wins at the line of scrimmage 99% of the time. He can out-juke you or throw a jab that sends CBs backwards. Combine will make or break him in the draft. I still like him and have seen nothing to say he won't be solid to great at the next level. List as a second or third rounder right now. If he runs a sub 4.4. he will jump to the first.

I really like Mingo…health is a major concern. You have a guy in college that misses games, it will only get worse.

The first guy, I just don’t see it. He might do well in a combine, but he doesn’t play that fast IMO.

Rice is smooth, but I wouldn’t take him in the 1st or 2nd.

Puka looks the part, I’m gonna have to read up on him.

Looks alot like EQ St. Brown. Nice find late in the draft or FA. Love his size and the fact he blocks though.
Not sure I would take him the 3rd or 4th round range though.

Never quite understood this. How does a guy who runs a sub 4.3 40 not play that fast?

Most draft boards appear to have him outside the top 100... I saw one site had him as 80. Late 4th or early 5th according to the "experts"
