10. Will Fuller gets a lot of love here, but his small hands and lack of refined route running make taking him in the first round tough. Coleman has comparable speed and is almost impossible to stop in small spaces. Plus, his route tree at Baylor was slightly more advanced. <a href=. WR. Baylor. Corey Coleman . 22. player

TCU. Josh Doctson . 23. player. 60. Somewhere, <a href=. WR

The Bengals need a wideout after losing Mohammed Sanu and <a href=. DT. Alabama. Jarran Reed . 24. player. 56

Ohio State. Eli Apple . 25. player. 55. I apologize for getting your hopes up if this doesn’t happen, Steeler fans, because Apple would be a brilliant pick. The Ohio State product left after his redshirt sophomore year and at 6’1″ 200 pounds, could be picked in the top 10 based on raw potential alone.
