Survivor I - Mark Clayton Commentary

NOTE: this draft was completed on 7/24

Positives - Mark Clayton caught 149 balls for 2,300+ yards and 23 TDs in his last two years at the University of Oklahoma. He has good acceleration and good after the catch moves, as well as a good set of hands. He broke multiple Oklahoma receiving records and should make a good transition into the NFL. He should compete to be the number two receiver in Baltimore this year.

Negatives - At 5’11”, Clayton is not a big receiver and is not the fastest guy out there, though he has good acceleration. He might have a tough time adjusting to the physical nature of the NFL. Clayton also missed a few days of camp before signing his rookie contract.

Draft Strategy - This is a late upside pick. If Clayton can win the second receiver job, he could be in for a few big games this year. I wanted to add one more receiver to my lineup, and I like what Clayton brings. Besides, now I have both Claytons on my roster.
