John Ross, WR, Washington

There are legitimate concerns over Ross’ injury history, and he pulled up after running the fastest 40-yard dash recorded at the Scouting Combine (4.22).

Because of that speed, every team in the first round is going to be tempted to take this guy. He proved to be more than just a speed demon at Washington, catching 81 passes this past season (17 for touchdowns).

He was such a prolific athlete at Washington, he contributed on offense, special teams, and defense. The Huskies got the most out of Ross, to be certain, and some NFL team is going to be getting a thrilling playmaker.

If he can stay healthy, he is going to be a star in the NFL. The Broncos would have to consider taking this guy if he’s on the board with the 20th overall pick, as he can help from the slot and on special teams.
