3.09 Tampa Bay Meat Goats - WR Terry McLaurin

Mel Kiper Jr. is really big on McLaurin, having him going to the Colts with the 24th pick in his Mock Draft (version 4.0).  McLaurin ran a 4.35 40 and did very well at his Pro Day.  At the other end of the evaluation spectrum, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares him to Justin Hardy (a free agent scrap heap journeyman in the TUFF world).  The Washington Redskins, who drafted him in Round 3, also did not pick up Josh Doctson’s fifth-year option.  For McLaurin, landing on the same team as his old college teammate (Haskins) is already working in his favor, if minicamp reports are any indication.  Note: Washington also drafted Kelvin Harmon in Round 6.  At the moment this pick went on the clock, I penciled in “QB Jarrett Stidham” because I thought the Meat Goats would be interested in making sure they had the Patriots’ signal-callers, now and forever.  Afterward, I said, “Paul (Granholm) is tempting the fates!”
