Jordan Lasley NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens' Pick

POSITIVES

—Legit deep speed that will translate to the NFL immediately.

—Press corners can't miss because his route stems are some of the best in this class in terms of fluidity.

—Decisive open-field runner who can cause problems after the catch.

—Change-of-direction skills highlight his lateral agility in tight spaces.

—Identifies zones while in motion with body control to throttle down easily.

NEGATIVES

—Hands are a major concern at all levels of the field.

—Competitive toughness comes and goes in waves.

—Frame looks smaller than weight suggests and lacks muscular definition to compete against average press corners.

—Doesn't use leverage to create spacing when a defensive back remains in phase. Won't help the quarterback out by creating target down the field.

—Home run hitter post-catch but won't come down with the electric plays of a stud No. 1 receiver.

OVERALL

Jordan Lasley has all of the athleticism of an NFL starter. His hands, however, are a major concern and show a lack of concentration and consistency down the field. Lasley will have to pack on more weight or risk being bullied at the line of scrimmage every week. The big-play potential is obvious every time he has the ball, but the routine plays are far too inconsistent.

GRADE: 5.75 (Round 4)
