Nos. 15-11

15. DaMarkus Lodge, Ole Miss. Lodge doesn’t get as much attention as the other Ole Miss receivers (more on them later), but he’s a good receiver in his own right. He is an excellent jump-ball receiver and should have a great catch radius at the NFL level. He’s not very athletic but as a mid-round pick, he could become a possession-based No. 2 receiver. And at the very least, he could become a red-zone weapon thanks to his ability to high point the ball.

14. Emanuel Hall, Missouri. Hall would be ranked higher if he didn’t have injury issues in college. He has a really great combination of size (6-3) and vertical ability, as evidenced by his career average of 20.8 yards per catch in college. However, he has played in 10 games only once during that time, so teams will be wary of taking him. Still, if he can continue to generate positive momentum after a solid combine, he could rise and go early in Round 3.

13. Terry McLaurin, Ohio State. McLaurin has gained quite a bit of buzz ahead of the draft, as his versatility and athletic ability are pretty intriguing. He averaged 20 yards per catch last year and scored 11 times for the Buckeyes. He also is a very good special teams player, and that is helping his reputation. McLaurin could end up going in the third round and certainly will find a role in the NFL as either a starting receiver or as a top backup/special teams ace.

12. Miles Boykin, Notre Dame. I actually had Boykin in my initial top 10, but I removed him because of some other rising talents. Boykin tested very well at the combine and looked fluid and athletic on the field. He has good size (6-4, 220 pounds) but didn’t always show off his athleticism on the field. Still, he has the tools needed to develop into a solid receiver, and NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compared him to Kenny Golladay. He should be a Day 2 pick and could help sooner than many expect.

11. JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Stanford. Arcega-Whiteside was one of the premier touchdown threats in college football last year, catching 14 touchdowns. He has a well-built 6-3 frame and could emerge as a top No. 2 receiver in the NFL. There are some minor concerns with his separation ability, but he has the route running skills and athleticism needed to be more than a jump-ball receiver. He just barely misses out on the top 10 of these rankings.
