Dedicating a thread to looking at the draft via the roster

Horton a top 3 vertical threat WR in this draft
Likely a third round pick cause he missed some games last season

I'm intrigued by him. He has good length, but needs to add 10lbs. He missed games for a minor knee procedure. There is no report of ebay exactly the procedure was, but it was in October and he's been 100% cleared and ran a 4.4 at the combine. Probably a meniscus or clean up to be ready for the NFL. He also returns punts, so could make Dortch more expendable. NFL.com has a 4th round grade in him.

Oh and he was a CAPTAIN!

Draft Projection
Round 4
Overview
Productive fifth-year senior and two-time team captain whose 2024 season was cut short by a knee surgery. Horton is a loose athlete with quality speed and above-average cut quickness. He’s an instinctive route runner with a feel for burst timing and he rarely drops what is thrown his way. Big press corners are likely to slow him and take a bite out of his effectiveness, but motion and bunch formations could solve that problem. He can knife through the heart of zone defenses and is competitive at the catch point but can be overtaken on 50/50 balls by length and size. If healthy, Horton has WR3 upside.

Coming off injury, Tory Horton turns heads with fast 40-yard dash at NFL combine

Tory Horton missed most of the 2024 Colorado State football season injured, but he ran a fast 40-yard dash at the NFL combine.

A few folks have us taking him in the 3rd or 4th round. Prior to the injury, there were a few that saw 1st round potential.

Who do you like there?

It's tough to tell who might be around, but Higgins, Noel, Bech, Royals, K Williams, T Horton all could be solid considerations IMO.
