7. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

If you haven’t watched CeeDee Lamb, you won’t understand just how box office he is. Last season, he showed he can dominate, finishing the season with 11 touchdowns and 1,158 yards. In 2019, though, he’s even better. Through eight games, he’s tied his 11 touchdowns from the previous season and he’s on pace for 1,400 yards.

The 6-2, 190-pound receiver has already great length with an excellent catch radius. He wins at the line of scrimmage with physicality and great burst. Lamb does a great job of eating up the cushion and stacking defensive backs despite not having elite speed. He has great balance, ball skills and leaping ability, which takes the pressure off his quarterback.

When the ball is in the air, he climbs the ladder. He makes jaw-dropping catches that’ll make OBJ proud. Lamb also has good awareness as he understands where to sit in zone coverage and navigates through small spaces.

After he catches the ball, he looks like a running back. He breaks tackles and understands how to make guys miss. Lamb is also a terror in the run game as a physical blocker who takes pride in his craft. He’s a big play waiting to happen and has made a case to be the No. 1 wide receiver taken in the 2020 NFL Draft.
