Round 6, Pick 195 - 199

195.)  Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown, WR, Central Michigan

Ht: 5' 10" Wt: 186

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  The Steelers continue to try to add depth to their wide receiver corps after the loss of Santonio Holmes.  Brown is a slot receiver and returner.  He faces an uphill battle to make the team because of the number of receivers already on the roster.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Could have used another year of development, but opted to come out instead of returning with a new coach and QB. A smallish, slot receiver with run-after-catch ability and return skills, Brown’s strength and instinct deficiencies will make it difficult to separate at the next level. Character concerns could limit his appeal and knock him off draft boards.
NFL projection: Late draftable pick.


196.)  Dallas Cowboys
Jamar Wall, CB, Texas Tech
Ht: 5'  10" Wt: 204

EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Wall was a value pick in the sense that he fell because of his lack of instincts.  If Wall can make a good impression on the Cowboys, he has a chance to make the roster as a nickel or dime corner.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Squatty, squarely built former high school running back with man-coverage limitations who is not exceptional in any area but has enough size, athletic ability and ball skills to make it as a No. 4 or No. 5 corner for a cover-2 team.
NFL projection: Fifth- to sixth-round pick.

197.)  Houston Texans
Trindon Holliday, KR, LSU
 Ht: 5' 5" Wt: 162

EMQB’s analysis on the pick: A returner with sprinter speed, Holliday is a one dimensional player in the fact that he can only contribute in the NFL by returning kicks and punts.  He does excel at that, and, if he can stay healthy, he could be a game changing player based upon his effect on field position.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Dangerous, diminutive punt and kickoff returner who only needs a sliver of daylight to take it the distance. Also shows versatility to contribute as a change-of-pace back or work out of the slot.
NFL projection: Fifth- to sixth-round pick.


198.)   Carolina Panthers
David Gettis, WR, Baylor
Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 217

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Gettis is a blazer who is still learning the game of football.  The pro-passing game is not learned easily, and Gettis might not be given the time or repetitions to reach his potential.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  A classic size-speed prospect, Gettis’ 6-3 frame and track speed give him the tools to be a fantastic receiver.  Far from a finished product, Gettis flashes explosive ability but also needs work catching the ball with more consistency and running crisper routes.    



199.)  Minnesota Vikings
Joe Webb, QB, UAB
Ht: 6' 3" Wt:  223

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  A prospect in the mold of Percy Harvin, Webb could run the "wildcat" offense or be converted to wide receiver.  He is a long term project and might not make a talented squad.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:   Converted QB project who will require some time to adapt to an NFL playbook, but Webb has enough size, athletic ability and run skills to warrant giving a chance running routes.
NFL projection: Priority free agent.
