Round 3, Pick 84 - Cincinnati Bengals - Jordan Shipley


Jordan Shipley, WR, Texas
Ht: 5’ 11 ¼” Wt: 193

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Another receiver who shows ability to get open in short areas, Shipley is an excellent addition to the Bengals.  If you combine him with the potential impact of Jermaine Gresham, the Bengals could have a much more effective pass game in the upcoming 2010 season.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: A very tough, productive, quicker- than-fast slot receiver whose career has been marred by injury, Shipley also has proven to be a dependable return man and has the potential to develop into a solid starter. Must prove that he is strong and durable enough to work the middle of the field consistently at the pro level.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Shipley’s underrated quickness and ability to find holes in zones and gain yards after the catch make him a perfect slot receiver candidate – as does his toughness over the middle despite only adequate size for the position.  Adding his return skills to the mix makes him a likely top 75 pick.
