#7 Omar Bayless vs florida intl (2019)

#7 Omar Bayless 2019 highlights

Strengths: He is a talented receiver who is very cerebral in processing the game. He has excellent skills in reading the field and different coverages pre-snap and where to go or sit-down against zone defenses. He is dangerous off the line of scrimmage, which will use different variations of speed for release. His release off the snap is smoothed and can beat the bump and run coverage. His routes are nice and crisp and can perfect the entire passing tree. His physical body allows him to fight for the ball at all levels on the field. He has over-averaged leaping skills; however, he battles and wins most 50/50 balls. He is a dependable blocker down the field who can control the defender.
​
Weaknesses: ​Before the 2020 NFL Combine, he was probably a day two selection, but his poor performances and averaged 40-times dropped his stock significantly. His 4.62 40-yards and 7.35 three-cone drill raise questions on how does his speed translate to the next level. He does not have that tremendous vertical speed; however, at the collegiate level, he was able to get open. ​

Draft Grade: 5.96

Draft Projection: 5th -7th round
