Michael Clayton

By James Alder, About.com

Position:

Wide Receiver

School: LSU

Status: Junior

Height:

6'4"

Weight:

190

40-Yard Dash:

4.45 seconds

Positives:

Michael Clayton is an intelligent playmaker who has good height, quickness, agility, and straight-line speed. He has terrific hands, and makes spectacular catches. He's an explosive deep threat that can be physical when he needs to be.

He is also an outstanding blocker, possibly the best blocking receiver in the draft, and he has an outstanding work ethic. He is very competitive, and tough... a true team player.

Negatives:

He has good size, but could stand to bulk up a little. Also needs to polish his route running a little.

Projection:

Clayton is a tremendous playmaker and is among the best receivers in the draft. He should be a mid-to-late first-round pick.
