Round 6 | No. 207 | WR Isaiah Hodgins | Oregon State

Grade: A-

Day 3 is the perfect time to take a swing at some players that fit small needs. Hodgins is coming off a massive season with the Beavers. He caught 86 passes for 1,171 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions.

At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Hodgins is another big body who can win contested passes over defensive backs. Aside from being adept at winning high point passes, Hodgins has great hands and rarely has trouble with catchable passes. He has good body control in traffic as well and tracks the ball with ease. He has no problem going over the middle. Hodgins projects as a player who can play inside or outside.

The issue with Hodgins is his speed. He needs to work hard to find space. Defenders can stay on his hip without much trouble. The physical size is there to do good things at the next level. How Hodgins works to maximize his speed and separation will determine his level of success at the pro level.
