Minnesota Vikings

Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (23) Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi | Highlights

What he brings: Treadwell is a highly competitive and physical receiver who thrives in contested situations. He isn't a burner, but he is a quality route runner who has the size, strength and length to create late separation. Treadwell is a strong and balanced runner after the catch and takes a lot of pride as a run-blocker. Though he might never be an elite No. 1 receiver, he's arguably the top at this position who will instantly upgrade a receiving corps.

How he fits: The Vikings found great value with their 2015 fifth-round selection of WR Stefon Diggs and continue to try to add weapons on the perimeter. Treadwell is the strong and physical receiver who has the ability to win in the contested situations Minnesota has been missing outside the hashes and in the red zone. With the addition of Treadwell, while also addressing the offensive line in free agency, general manager Rick Spielman continues to build around his young quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater. -- Kevin Weidl
