Round 5, Pick 19: Larry Brackins

Larry Brackins
WR | (6'4", 205, 4.66)
Scouts Grade: 62
Flags: (M: MENTAL) Does not retain and learn the system
This is our first big gamble of the draft, and I like it. While he's not explosively fast, Brackins is a tall leaper with big-play written all over him. He had two years in a junior college and decided to go straight to the draft instead of transferring to FSU or USC. With one or two more years at a top notch D1 school, Brackins could have easily gone in the first day.

Sure, he may be a bust, but his upside alone is definitely worth a 5th round pick.
