2016 NFL Mock Draft: 1st-Round Predictions and Overlooked Prospects to Watch

Less than a month separates NFL teams from the opportunity to add the nation's top collegiate prospects to their respective rosters in April's draft.

In that short span of time, teams will have to sift through the names, evaluate their needs and find the right pick.

Of course, that all changes depending on the selections of other teams, so it's vital to have a few backup plans as well.

Overlooked Prospects To Watch

Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

It's hard to say that the No. 1 wide receiver draft prospect is an overlooked one. But due to the need for defense, offensive lines and quarterbacks, the position has become more of an afterthought in the first round of the NFL draft. 

Treadwell's 4.65 40-yard-dash time at the combine didn't exactly help his stock, as NFL Network noted:

In fact, Bleacher Report's Matt Miller flat-out said that his time was "not very good."

The only thing that the 40-yard dash means for Treadwell is that he couldn't run a straight line faster than some other prospects on a given day. Remember Jerry Rice? His 40-yard dash wasn't so spectacular, either, and he turned out OK. 

At 6'2", 221 pounds, Treadwell is a physical receiver who is agile enough to create separation between himself and defenders thanks to his superior route running. 

With a strong set of hands, Treadwell will be a quarterback's dream at the next level as a big, reliable target. That kind of skill set should translate well to the NFL, which could make some teams that thought about taking Treadwell earlier in the round rue the moment they passed on him. 

Miles Killebrew, S, Southern Utah

Miles Killebrew is only just now entering the fringes of first-round talk with less than a month remaining. If he had played at a big program like Alabama or Notre Dame or USC, his name would have been a household one last season. 

He's recorded 101 and 132 tackles respectively over the past two seasons, and some of them have been some of the fiercest, most explosive takedowns in the game. 

Don't let the built frame fool you either. Killebrew can move, as shown by SUU Thunderbirds:

He can track down ball-carriers in the open field and has the strength to bring them down, too. At the safety position, that's vital for a player responsible for patrolling the secondary. 

While there could be questions as to how he would fare against elite talent, given that he wasn't tested as much as other top college FBS prospects, Killebrew looks like he can be a very productive safety.
