STRENGTHS
Rashod has good size and solid speed with the run after the catch skills to move the chains on any down and distance. He is a good blocker and when used in the slot, can be a matchup problem for the defense. Rashod is smart and does a very good job running his routes against zone coverages and finding ways to get open. He can make the acrobatic catch and has a good catch radius.
CONCERNS
Rashod struggles to get separation against single coverages. He is a good zone receiver and if he wants to improve he will have to get, quicker off the line to gain separation in the red zone. He also has to be more consistent catching the contested pass, especially in the red zone. Rashod has to improve the strength in his hands and learn to use his body better and more to his advantage.
BOTTOM LINE 3.67
Rashod is a productive receiver for his college team and he can be also for the team that selects him. Nevertheless, he needs to improve against single coverages for the next level or he will just be a complementary receiver and not as a franchise receiver. Right now, on film, Rashod doesn’t show any specials traits that separate him from a lot of other receivers in this draft. He is good but not special. There have been many receivers in the NFL that have or has Radshod’s talents and they have been productive in complementary roles but as soon as they are counted on to be the top receiver on a team their lack of quickness, speed, and sure hands to catch every pass, shows up. If Rob can improve his, quickness and explosiveness off the line and making his cuts, then he becomes a steal of this draft. But for the purposes of this draft, I see a solid zone receiver who can impact against zones because of his skills to run after the catch and gain important yardage. He also can be effective on crossing routes but running the whole route tree and impacting is not the type of receiver he is showing me right now.
