Da'Jon McKnight, WR, Minnesota

What are your thoughts on "Honey" D'Jon McKnight, WR Minnesota?
Good Size but tended to disappear in stretches throughout last season. Not sure if disappearance act was more due to him or the sub-par QB play over the last two years... When he's on with the QB though, he was flat out solid and looked like a Sunday prospect. Any takers?

I like him, but don't have him as draftable right now.

He is ok, love his ball skills and large hands. But his lack of speed might keep him undrafted. If he works out well at the combine though and shows he can run routes and do so with good speed, he could be a 6th or 7th round draft choice.

Nice prospect though, and if he works out well, his physical jump ball ability will catch a lot of teams attention.

How can you possibly like someone and not have them draftable? 255 players are drafted.

Ask all the teams that went hard after Dane Sanzenbacher and Mark Herzlich once they were able to last year.

Quite easily to like more than 5 receivers if you follow college prospects I would say. This is where I have him ranked, barely being picked among the 32 receivers on average that are drafted in the draft.

With a good workout like I said that will keep him in the draft but some of those other guys could easily jump McKnight.

Those names along make those guys draftable.
I dare you to name your first kid Martavious or Aldarius.

I also love Marvin McNutt's chances at the next level.

Don't worry where a guy is drafted. If you think he's got talent, just look out when he gets his opportunity in the NFL. Heck 6th-7th rounders are borderline draftable anyway and most probably never make the team.

Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, Wes Welker, Victor Cruz, etc.
