To be a little clearer. On the first day of practice, after last years draft, both Nelson and Leonard lined up with the first team. I don't think anyone will be lining up from this draft on the first team at the first practice. I am not saying that none of the draft picks will start for us this year. I actually expect a couple of them to earn (and that is the key) a starting position sometime this year, maybe even the first game. I was attempting to give props for us beginning to develop some depth on this roster.

Maybe 2010 but that was after 2009 when we should have been undefeated. We are starting to develop depth!!
I think there is a very good chance Campbell is the primary WR3/Slot from day one, maybe not technically a starter.

Agree with this. Reich will use his speed every chance his gets too. Dude is a homerun threat and will exploit defenses.

Strengths
Dangerous with the ball in his hands. Playmaker. Any touch can end in a TD. Turns short routes into big plays routinely with speed and athleticism. Very capable of making defenders miss in the open field. Rarely drops a catchable ball. Adjusts routes based on coverage defense runs, is often able to find the soft spot in a zone defense. When he blocks, good blocker who can help a runner turn a short or medium gain into a long gain.

Weaknesses
Did not show the ability to run the full route tree in college. Route running could use work, ideally cuts would be sharper and steps would not be wasted. Occasionally does not give full effort on a play if he knows the ball is not coming his way and has missed run blocks that could potentially spring big plays as a result.

Other
Team Captain in 2017 and 2018. First team All Big Ten 2018.

Player Comparison
Tyreek Hill
In your view, what separates him from Phil Dorsett (another guy with blazing speed) and makes him more Tyreek Hill (hopefully minus the horrific domestic abuse) and less Phil Dorsett (unable to translate any of the similarly game breaking speed)?
