Marquez Valdes-Scantling | Receiver | South Florida | 6'4" - 206 lbs.

Overview
Height, weight, speed prospect with intriguing deep ball capabilities as a big field stretcher. Valdes-Scantling is a work in progress who hasn't learned how to create leverage within his linear routes and doesn't have the ball skills he will need to win downfield. He's probably not ready to help a team just yet, but his issues may be correctable so he's worth a Day 3 selection as a stash-and-coach prospect.

Strengths
[list]

Possesses size and speed traits evaluators look to develop

Pushes off the line of scrimmage with good forward lean to build momentum into downfield routes

Long strider with build-up speed that eventually overtakes most cornerbacks

Saw 26.4 percent of his catches go for 25-plus yards

Poor deep ball placement from his quarterback prevented more easy touchdowns[/list]

Weaknesses
[list]

Routes lack sharpness and consistent play speed

Gives away stop routes prematurely

Slow to gather and redirect in space

Anchors on hitches and curls rather than working back to the throw

Too much body catching

Hands are small for his size and he suffers from focus drops

Gets deep but his ball skills down the field are lacking

Fails to utilize size to gain position[/list]

40 Yard Dash 4.37

We’ll probably have to stash him, but he’s a great prospect. Love this pick.

Reminds me way more of Donald Driver than Jeff Janis.

ST gunner at best. Maybe he will stick on the PS. Too many drops to be taken seriously.

I can't even remember them any more. One of them was West. There is always going to be another WR next year who will take his place.
