USC wide receiver Nelson Agholor was one of the big movers on NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's ranking of the top 50 prospects in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The former Trojans star checked in at No. 28 on the list, but he might wind up being drafted higher than that as one of the fastest-rising players in the run-up to Chicago.



How high? Maybe all the way up to No. 14 overall and the Miami Dolphins if you want to read something into pre-draft visits. According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, the club is set to bring Agholor to Miami on Wednesday.
While it once looked like a possibility that the team could wind up selecting somebody like Agholor in the second or even third round, it now appears he could be in play for the Dolphins in the first round.
"The more I read my notes on him, the more I believe in his ability to contribute right away in the NFL," Jeremiah wrote. "I've moved him up four spots as a result, ahead of Jaelen Strong and Breshad Perriman."
Wide receiver seems to be a position Miami is targeting early in the draft as a way to further boost Ryan Tannehill's group of targets after a productive offseason that saw them re-tool the unit. Agholor's ability to play both inside and outside receiver would no doubt fit into the team's plans, and he's well-versed in both pro-style and up-tempo concepts from his time at USC.

In addition to his top-tier route running and ability to catch the football, Agholor has seen his stock shoot up the past few weeks as teams have come to value what he brings in the return game, as well. Pairing him up with Jarvis Landry on offense and special teams certainly would be a productive combination for the Dolphins if that ultimately is a route they opt to go in the draft.

Besides Parker I think Nelson is the bpa who actually fits our offense greatly....if taken @ 14, I wouldnt lose any sleep cause hes probably going to have the most meaningful impact at WR
 
Not a fan at #14.

He's a good player, but he doesn't have superstar potential IMO, doesn't do anything that makes you go wow.
 
Better trade down. Not at 14
 
Big fan of Agholor. He's the clear cut #4 receiver in the draft for me (after Cooper, White, DGB and Parker). He's a good bit better than Perriman, Strong, etc. One guy I want to dig a bit more on is Tre McBride. Intrigued about him.
 
Wouldn't be upset with Agholor at 14 but I'd rather trade down in the first if we where to take him.

Perriman is intriguing. A HIGH ceiling. Maybe highest in the draft. But his hands are a worry. Smelter needs alot more love. Dude is money after the catch
 
Before the rise, I figured he'd be a really good 2nd pick for someone. Fans might be more into the idea of offensive diversity and balance than teams are. Redundancy with Nelson and Landry might be considered a positive by the coaches. My biggest worry for Agholor is that he might have a huge injury coming his way with the way he flits around like a gazelle in the middle of the field. An NFL LB could destroy him.

His hands are a worry and also he's stiff. Will probably never get the kind of separation you'd imagine from his pure speed because of his stiffness. And a lack of separation combined with iffy hands is a real ****ty combination in the NFL.

I thought separation was his best attribute. Hes quick off the line. Tremendous feet. Doesn't know what hes doing yet but gets separation off of athleticism. Dude was always open in college. Just had a ****ty QB last year. Which IMO contributed to some drops. Bad ball placement
 
I would be OK with Agholor in a trade back and something like this...

obviously some trading up done in the mid rounds.. but I don't see how we are going to hit all of our needs otherwise.
 
He runs great routes. Fits the offense well. Has special teams skills. Played at high level in college. Loved he thrived on Sarkison.

Not sure what is not to like.
