I love Criner and think he'd be a steal if he dropped to the 3rd. He seems like the kind of guy we would take...not the fastest, but ruins crisp routes, has solid catching ability and you can throw a ball up and he will get to it. I'd be happy if we nabbed him with our 2nd second round pick.
He'll be one of those guys who won't wow you at the combine with his speed, but I love his ball skills and his overall smarts...he runs good routes.
Everyone knows how much I love Criner so its good to see him getting some attention. Now I'm just hoping he doesn't run fast at the combine and get drafted too high. I wouldn't hesitate to take him at 48, but I would prefer him in the 3rd. And his biggest asset is the one nobody is talking about, his YAC ability. While he is isn't the fastest, he is a very fluid athlete and is very elusive. Add in his size, body control, ability to track the deep ball and his freakin huge 11 inch hands, and I think he is perfect for this system.
