ERIC EDHOLM: Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught passes in college for Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Jalen Hurts, and we suspect he could make any quarterback look good with his skill set.

On the upside, he's got outstanding body control. Great polish to his game. That also includes being a terrific route runner. He also threatens all three levels of a defense, making him a complete receiver. On the downside, he's a tick slow. We're not talking about a burner here, by any definition. He also saw a lot of favorable looks in play with that great quarterback talent in Oklahoma's spread offense.

My NFL comp for him reminded me so much of DeAndre Hopkins. That's high praise. But their games are very similar.
