James Quick | Wide Receiver | Louisville Cardinals

CBS Sports’ Draft Board Ranking: 307

Projected Round: 7th or Not Drafted

Position Rank: 38th

James Quick is definitely not a favorite of CBS Sports coming out of Louisville and I can understand why. He came into the Cardinals program as a highly ranked receiver, but never seems to live up to his expectations. Whether it was bone-headed mistakes or dropped passes, James Quick was never elite.

With that being said, he can change all of that with what he does going forward. He will make it onto a roster, without a doubt, but he will have to work and play well in the 2017 preseason to be able to play consistently.

Even then, that might be a process of a few years before he sees the field on a regular basis. However, his speed and quickness will give him an edge, but it’s the NFL and everyone he will be competing against will be fast.
