Round Five – 184th Overall (Compensatory)
Travis Rudolph, WR, Florida State (6-feet, 189 pounds)
This is the day-three pick that I think oozes with the most potential.
Despite leading Florida State in receiving the past two seasons, I err on the side of thinking that there is still some untapped potential within Travis Rudolph.
He is a good route runner and an “easy strider”. He has a knack for disguising his routes when working up the field, being able to fool some defensive backs. Rudolph would not be your first choice if you were building a relay team, but he can run intermediate and deep routes very well and will make tough catches.
Basically, he’s a possession receiver that could work well next to Kenny Stills and Jarvis Landry and add competition to the wide receiver room overall.
Bonus, he’s a willing run blocker – which will help him get and stay on the field early in his career.
