2.16 Detroit Vipers - WR Miles Boykin

Boykin ran a 4.42 40, jumped a 43.5" vertical, 140" broad jump and notched a 6.77 3-cone drill, all at a measured 6'4/220 with 9 7/8" hands.  He didn’t produce much in college, but at least some of that could be chalked up to QB play (e.g. Boykin got open, but the QB went to a check-down throw instead).  Boykin may be one of those players who fares better in the pros than he did in college.  NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares him to Lions WR Kenny Golladay. After JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Diontae Johnson went off the board earlier in this round, I thought Boykin would follow soon afterwards.  The size/speed ratio and the handcuff factor were two of the three biggest reasons why I wanted to take him (reason #3, of course, being the poor WR depth I mentioned at 1.16).
