Weaknesses: The biggest “weakness” in Lamb’s game is that he isn’t a 4.3 40-yard dash guy, which is nitpicking. He will likely run in the high 4.4’s, which is comical that I even have to list this as a weakness.
Another nitpicking comment would be that he will have a competition adjustment in the NFL. Big 12 defenses to NFL defenses will be a big jump.
Lamb could gain some mass to his frame, as he doesn’t look as thick as he could. However, this is just nitpicking again, as he plays strong and physical.
Overall Impression: My favorite word to use when talking about a really good player is “DUDE” and Lamb is a true “DUDE.” The guy can flat out ball. He is going to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL in Year 1 and he has a chance to be an impact player for a long time in the NFL. People will nitpick about his long speed, but watch the film because he is more than fast enough. He will become an instant fan favorite for whatever team drafts him because of the skills he has, but mainly the fire he plays with. It is hard to pick one player he reminds me of in the NFL, but he reminds be of Odell Beckham Jr. paired with DeAndre Hopkins and a little Michael Thomas. He has the fire of OBJ, but with the calmness and dominance of Hopkins, and the hard-working mentality of Thomas.
Grade: First Round (Picks 6-14)
Fit with the Eagles: Eagles fans want their quarterback to get a legitimate No. 1 receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft. Well, Lamb is Carson Wentz’s guy then. I do not see how he would make it to the 21st pick, so the Eagles will need to trade up for him if they want him. If he somehow makes it to No. 21, Howie Roseman and company better start partying early because Lamb is a slam dunk pick. He would be a star on the Eagles right away and is worth trading up for. He can easily be a 100 catch and 1,000-yard guy for the Eagles while scoring some impact play touchdowns. Pairing him with Zach Ertz, Miles Sanders, DeSean Jackson, Dallas Goedert, and Greg Ward would be amazing.
