5. Equanimeous St. Brown

There’s some disagreement in the NFL world around Equanimeous St. Brown’s value heading into the 2018 NFL Draft.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. doesn’t have St. Brown being selected in his most recent three-round mock draft nor does he have him listed as a top ten player at his position. Neither does Todd McShay.

However, NFL.com gives him a grade of 5.69 which means he has a 50-50 chance of becoming an NFL starter one day, which is pretty good odds for a supposed fourth-round pick if you ask me.

Also, Pro Football Focus has him ranked as their 55th player on their Big Board and the seventh-best receiver in the draft class.

At 6-foot-5, he has an incredible speed, testing out at a 4.48 40-yard dash. This combination of talent alone has caught scouts eyes and makes him an intriguing prospect in the NFL. The Packers certainly want to add speed to their offensive weapons and St. Brown would do just that.

If the Packers want to reach and select him in the third round, they’d most likely be justified. However, he falls to their lap in the fourth, that’s a home run.
