WR Chase Claypool, Notre Dame
Claypool had been considered a second- or third-round pick before the 2020 NFL Combine. But Claypool’s performance earned him comparisons to Calvin Johnson, which could see him drive his draft stock all the way up into the first round.
Baltimore needs a big-bodied possession receiver that can win in multiple ways. Claypool’s combine results point to him fitting that role perfectly.
In spite of being 6-foot-4 and 238 pounds, Claypool posted the seventh-fastest 40-yard dash in this group at 4.42 seconds. He had the fifth-most reps on the bench press and the fifth-best vertical jump. He consistently tested close to other first-round prospects like Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy, which has to be intriguing to Baltimore considering they undoubtedly won’t be in the running for either of those players barring a costly trade up in the first round.
