3rd Round (via NYG):
68. Chase Claypool | WR | Notre Dame
Chase Claypool didn’t garner much attention from American colleges until the British Columbia native started posting highlights on Facebook and he didn’t make a name for himself in South Bend until his senior campaign. He where was he was Notre Dame’s leading receiver last season, though, grabbing 66 passes for 1,067 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Claypool projects as a matchup nightmare at the next level. Not only does he have the ability to make explosive plays in space, but he can stretch the field and make contested catches as a possession receiver in the red zone. In addition to Claypool being everything Sam Darnold needs at wide receiver and more, he’s an outstanding run blocker and special teams ace.
