He looked good on his few kickoff returns last year.

I like Cole a lot, but a 4th in this draft is very tempting. 

As a Gator fan I watched the Orange Bowl against Virginia. Virginia had a receiver, Hasise Dubois, who tore up the Gator's secondary. He also went over 1000 yards receiving last year, with ZERO drops, so it wasn't just the one game. I expected him to be rated in the top ten draft prospects, but the only list I've seen him in has him at #64. If there are 63 better WRs in this draft then we ought to replace our entire WR corps with our late round picks.

Quote:"I think it's just the amount of really good players in the draft at that position. In most years, you probably expect those players to fill up the first three rounds," DeCosta said. "We think this year that there's a really good chance to get a guy that can probably be a starter for you in the fifth round of the draft.”

"This year, we have a lot of guys highly rated in the first four, five, six rounds," DeCosta said. "It's exciting for a team that needs receivers because you feel like you have an opportunity to really add an impact guy all the way through the draft."

"Sheer numbers-wise, for whatever reason, this year is kind of stacked," DeCosta said.
