http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/2179672/dede-westbrookSTRENGTHS: Above average straight-line speed to be a big play vertical threat. Sudden start/stop movements to catch defenders off-balance, cut and accelerate away from them. Rarely misjudges deep balls. Quick feet and body shake to beat press coverage. Excellent burst off his plant foot to create immediate separation on slants and out routes - improved timing in his patterns to bait and sell corners, especially on double moves. Perceptive awareness to break off his route to help out his scrambling quarterback. Controls his gears well to follow blocks and weave through defenses. Creates explosive plays after the catch with elusiveness and finishing speed. Tougher than he looks and not shy about using a stiff arm to fight for extra yardage. Lacks ideal body strength, but can highpoint and secure contested throws. Polished returner with the vision to make an impact in this area, averaging 16.2 yards per punt (5/81/1) and 27.1 yards per kickoff return (9/244/0) in 2016. Highly productive senior season, setting a school-record with 17 receiving touchdowns.
WEAKNESSES: Skinny frame with narrow shoulders and twig limbs. Lacks power as a ballcarrier and limited after contact. Below average blocker due to poor body strength and waning effort - will make "business decisions" and avoid collision blocks. Catch radius questions with few examples on tape of him finishing contested catches on tape. Holds the ball too loose, especially in his cuts and stutter steps, leading to ball security questions - only one fumble in 2016, but several other close calls. Limited body armor leads to long-term durability questions, suffering a concussion against Oklahoma State (Dec.2016) when working the middle of the field - medical reports will be important due to a ruptured small intestine injury from high school (Oct. 2011) where doctors advised him to not play football again because a similar injury could be fatal. History of focus issues and needs to stay mentally invested on the details - didn't start vs. Kansas State (Oct. 2016) due to a "policy" situation. Immature past and has been arrested three times, including twice for domestic violence incidents that involved the mother of his children.
COMPARES TO: Will Fuller, Houston Texans - Although both lack the build and functional strength ideal for the position, Westbrook has the vertical ability to take the top off a defense and create explosive plays - reasons Fuller was one of the first wide receivers drafted in the 2016 class.
