Ray-Ray McCloud NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Buffalo Bills' Pick

POSITIVES

—Versatile athlete who was used in a wide variety of ways at Clemson.

—Special teams value as returner.

—Handles contact well with thick lower body for an undersized player.

—Major production as high school RB in Florida that demonstrates athletic ability.

—Three-year contributor at Clemson.

NEGATIVES

—Lacks defined position and is more of a gadget player than every-down RB.

—Undersized for NFL standards and doesn't have above-average traits to compensate.

—Inexperience at wide receiver is obvious; lacks refined technique as a route-runner.

—Isn't as dynamic in open field as other players of similar size and lacks burst out of breaks.

OVERALL

Clemson routinely produces top-tier NFL receivers. Unfortunately, Ray-Ray McCloud is unlikely to follow in some of the former Tigers' footsteps. Despite a highly productive high school career, McCloud has struggled to find a specific position at the collegiate level, which has clearly stunted his development. The versatility and special teams experience will be what McCloud relies on as he tries to compete for a practice squad position on a team with an innovative offensive coordinator.
