Jahan Dotson Scouting Report.

The first receiver to really catch my attention was Jahan Dotson Penn State. At 5'11" 184 LBS he played in 42 games and compiled 183 catches for 2757 yards with 25 TDs. He also had 25 punt returns with a 13.5 average and 1 return touchdown.

Dotson is a three sport athlete. Undersized for the X but can play any receiver positions and special teams. His size won't be an issue for the slot or Z. Should be an instant plug in and play for all 32 teams.

Good speed and agility. Can burn a guy deep or at the line. Drops shouldn't be a problem and he excells in getting yards after the catch. Not an ideal contested catch build but he still fights for the ball.

Understands how to read coverage and has no issues about putting his body in harms way to catch a pass. Doesn't have issues getting separation and knows when the quarterback needs help.

So what does he do wrong? He doesn't always play to ability. Blocking is inconsistent and needs to work on cleaning up his route running. And again if you want to play him in the X instead of the slot or Z, then he's undersized.

Dotson could be a late first rounder but most likely he'll go in the second or early third. Reports say his NFL comparisons are Diontae Johnson and Tyler Lockett.
