Seahawks, 4th round. Kan. St.: Former QB. Transferred from Oregon. Average height and nearly H-back bulk. Average hand size.

Positives: Above-average speed for the size. Above-average upper-body strength. Above-average body control and adjusts well to errant passes. Above-average hands and can extend at times as well as go to ground.

Negatives: Suspect routes and doesn’t get good separation. Below-average quickness and lower-body explosiveness. Takes a while to get into breaks and completes routes. Lacks deep separation. Below-average acceleration.

Projection: He seemed like a large reach in the 4th round, and he joins a fairly crowded depth chart in Seattle. I don’t expect him to ever be a starter there, but could see some time as a hybrid WR/H-back. No need to draft, but he should eventually see WR5 production.

Jaguars, 4th round. S. Car.: Junior who has declared for 2013 NFL Draft. Short for the position and skinny frame. Below-average hand size.

Positives: Above-average speed. Gets physical with CBs despite his lack of strength. Good hands and can snag fast passes away from body. Crisp routes — in and out of breaks quickly. Good quickness and change-of-direction ability. Good PR vision and heads upfield quickly.

Negatives: Suspect PR fielding decisions. Below-average ball security and holds ball too loosely. Weak upper body. Tends to dance too much in open field and lacks decisiveness.

Projection: Will give immediate help as a returner and part-time slot WR. Will compete with Jordan Shipley for time in the slot and it’s a tossup which one wins. Could be a nice intermediate target for whoever’s throwing the ball there. Draft as a WR5 with WR3 upside.

Steelers, 3rd round. Ore. St.: Slightly below-average size. Average hand size.

Positives: Above-average hands when extending. Willing to hit DB for extra yards instead of going out of bounds. Moves well in the open field. Adequate routes. Quick feet. Tracks well. Adjusts fairly well. Above-average speed. Above-average upper-body strength. Adequate hands in traffic.

Negatives: Body catches more than he should. Inconsistent hands overall. Suspect concentration over the middle. Inconsistent downfield blocker.

Projection: Will probably see the field quite a bit in 2013, and his physicality will be an asset for the team, but isn’t likely to ever be a dominant fantasy WR. Draft as a WR5 with WR3 upside.

Bills, 3rd round. Tex.: Small size for the position. Below-average hand size.

Positives: Quick acceleration and gets immediate separation off of the line. Gets good deep separation. Tracks ball well. Elite speed. Keeps balance after contact. Below-average upper-body strength. Elite athleticism and competed in 2012 Olympics in long jump. Fair concentration on contested passes. Works hard to get open against physical coverage. Quick into breaks. Fights for extra yards and has an effective stiffarm.

Negatives: Below-average fielding decisions as punt returner. Needs to work harder on off-target passes. Inconsistent hands. Doesn’t adjust well to errant passes. Needs to learn to set up deep routes better to take advantage of his speed.

Projection: He’ll probably be used as the deep threat that keeps defenses honest but can also do a little more. Draft as a WR4 with WR2 upside, but a likely WR3.

Cowboys, 3rd round. Baylor: Above-average size. Below-average hand size.

Positives: Good hands and can extend well. Adequate speed. Above-average acceleration. Gets good deep separation. Dives for ball. Wins jump ball situations. Fairly nimble on sidelines. Good body control when diving for off-target passes. Tracks well over inside shoulder. Quick feet off of line. Runs smooth routes.

Negatives: Suspect vision in open field and looks like he leaves extra yards on the field. Below-average upper-body strength. Below-average overall athleticism.

Projection: Currently will be the third WR, but could be a long-term Miles Austin replacement. Is really more of a complementary deep receiver than a WR1. Draft as a WR4 with low WR2 upside if he replaces Austin eventually.

Patriots, 2nd round. Marshall: Very good height and above-average bulk. Below-average hand size.

Positives: Very good leaping ability. Good acceleration in open field. Good hands. Can high-point ball and consistently make the circus catch. Fair body control and can adjust to passes. Above-average routes and sets up defenders well. Above-average speed. Works hard on special teams and was in on two tackles at Senior Bowl. Adequate upper-body strength.

Negatives: Suspect blocking skills. Dances too much after the catch. Doesn’t get deep separation. Suspect concentration in traffic.

Projection: Has the tools to be the number-one WR on the Patriots, and will be obviously helped by having Tom Brady throw to him and Amendola, Gronkowski, and Hernandez occupying defenses over the middle. But WRs, on the whole, have been mediocre fantasy producers on the Patriots because Tom Brady spreads the ball around so well. Draft as an immediate WR4 with WR2 potential.
