8. Phillip Dorsett, WR (Miami)

This speed demon can burn past any defensive back; he ran an impressive 4.33 second 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. He may be have a small 5-10 frame but he gets away with that because of his ability to make contested catches with his 37 inch vertical jump.

Dorsett has the ability to be a playmaker at the next level. The problem is that his 5-10 frame does limit Dorsett in the NFL. The best case scenario is that Dorsett becomes an Antonio Brown like player, but one must question if he really can.

Dorsett has first round talents with a third round body. He is fast and in the open field he is unstoppable. Dorsett has a lot of potential, but beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I consider him a second round talent. Anything after that is a bit of a draft steal.

It also doesn’t help Dorestt’s cause that he missed the second half of the 2013 season with an MCL tear. Dorsett is an exceptional talent who can burn past almost anyone. In the right situation, Dorsett could be special.
