Jamari Staples | Wide Receiver | Louisville Cardinals

CBS Sports’ Draft Board Ranking: 210

Projected Round: 6th

Position Rank: 28th

Jamari Staples ended up being a very nice addition for the Louisville football team the past two seasons. He could have had a better year than he did, but there are only so many receiving yards to go around when Lamar Jackson is rushing for over 1,500 yards. Not to mention, it makes it even harder when Jackson loves to throw the football to Cole Hikutini and James Quick.

With that being said, Staples is actually the highest rated wide receiver coming out of Louisville this season, far above James Quick and rightfully so.

Staples doesn’t struggle with drops like Quick does and Staples has the size to compete in the National Football League.

I think the sixth round sounds about right for Louisville’s third leading receiver in 2016.

Next: Number Four
