Clemson Football: Where will each Tiger be drafted, and by which NFL team?
By Barry Shuck
Round 4
The Giants just lost their best wide receiver in Odell Beckham, Jr. in a trade with Cleveland and then signed journeyman WR Golden Tate. In all likelihood, WR Sterling Shepard will move outside which opens up the slot receiver position.
WR Hunter Renfrow (5’-10”, 180 pounds) would fill that void perfectly in the fourth-round at pick number 108, the sixth slot in this round.
A player such as Renfrow is made for the slot and many before him have proven to excel such as Wes Welker, Victor Cruz, and Cole Beasley. Renfrow is a pass-catching machine and can make adjustments to poorly thrown balls. He is a workout pro and does not possess great speed, but his vision and awareness of where the ball is in the air is uncanny. His overall size will drop him to this round, but over time he will become an NFL wonder.
The NFC Champs Los Angeles Rams do not have many holes, but one area on the defense they could use help is in the defensive backfield. CB Mark Fields (5’-11”, 180 pounds) could be that assistance with pick #133.
The ultra-speedy Fields recovers exceptionally well and has a great change-of-direction. Sometimes he has issues with finding the ball, but has the closing speed to recover and make plays. May need to bulk up a bit at the next level, especially against bigger WRs.
