I saw this guy play the past two years at UGA. He's a good player, filled in extremely nicely while AJ Green was out. Has great deep speed and fantastic hands. Has potential to be a #1 but if not he should at least develop into a good #2. Whichever team drafts him will be getting a steal.

He's very talented but we have to see how the league treats him. Will he end up like McCaffrey and get a chance to finally start late in his career? I sure hope not. Somehow the slow "possession receiver" McCaffrey was able to put together three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons.

I agree whiteathlete, but hopefully Durham's stellar workout numbers at UGA's pro day will convince scouts that he is something more. In my opinion, he has more breakaway potential than his counterpart AJ Green has. He also showed great body control on multiple occasions this year, though Green's ability to contort to catch balls is otherworldly.

Durham's measurables are spectacular. It will be interesting to see what his career and production are like. To be completely fair, I think the label of Durham as a #2 or a possession receiver has a lot to do with him being a #2 to A.J. Green during college (though I certainly agree that skin color has a lot to do with it considering the amount of cases in which this happens). Green was the best receiver in the whole draft, so every receiver in the nation would have been behind him. Still, Durham must have been quite highly-regarded because how many other college #2s got taken or were even considered as high as the fourth round?

His numbers are spectacular but idiots are already saying the pick was a reach. I'm sure he'll be compared to McCaffrey, who has similar height and build.
