[MUSIC PLAYING] ERIC EDHOLM: In what looks like yet another strong year at wide receiver in the draft, USC's Drake London could be one of the first taken at that position. On the upside, he is a long, [? highly-athletic ?] target who attacked all three levels of the field in college-- averaged a whopping 11 catches a game last season. London also played for USC's hoops team and has the basketball skills to go up and get the ball. He's still only 20-years-old, too, which is a huge plus. On the downside, some scouts have questioned London's speed-- wonder whether he could ever be a steady vertical threat or gain consistent separation at the next level. He's also coming off an ankle injury that cost them several games last year and prevented him from working out at the NFL Combine. Our comp for London? We see a lot of Courtland Sutton in his game.
