# Productive Y.A.C. receiver
# Clutch on third down
# Impressive body control; coordinated athlete
# Shows ability to adjust to poorly thrown ball
# Extremely competitive; good intangibles
# Great blocker
# Potential No. 1 WR with upside
Weaknesses:
# Inconsistent route runner
# Tends to round off on digs, outs, posts, etc.
# Lacks a little burst out of breaks
# Inconsistent hands in previous years
# Not much of a vertical threat
# Not an elite athlete
Summary: LaFell projects as a very big, physical possession receiver with the potential to profile as a No. 1 in time. He needs to work on his route running, but overall he’s a very well-rounded player whom I think will be a better red-zone target in the pros than in college due to poor quarterback play at LSU. LaFell will go off the board in the top 35-40 picks.
