Kayshon Boutte WR LSU

STRENGTHS
Kayshon is your typical big, strong, run-after-the-catch receiver. He has those strong hands to catch the ball with the athletic talent to adjust to the ball in the air and make those very needed acrobatic catches that keep an offense on the field. Kayshon is a very strong route runner, the type most physical defensive backs will struggle to try to get him off his route. He has the speed, quickness, and strength that make it very hard to catch him if he gets behind the defense. He’s a good route runner, selling his routes, making it difficult for defensive backs to read him to make a defensive play. Kayshon runs those crossing routes with strength and power and if you hit him in stride unless he runs out of field, he is a threat to take it all the way.

CONCERNS
Kayshon seems to have that alpha mentality that will make some teams feel he might not be a fit for their team in general. Also, there are rumors that will need to be checked out. These big-time college programs allow for an entitlement attitude for their players and it’s easy to see how an immature player can make bad decisions. I don’t condone it but I do understand how it can happen.

BOTTOM LINE: 1.94
Kayshon is a plug-and-play receiver and in the right situation could be the rookie of the year and that’s saying a lot with the talent at the receiver position this year in this draft. There is a lot of receiver talent in this draft. That being said, most of the talent is projected to be slot receivers. Kayshon is an “I can play any one of the receiver positions” type, and there are not many of those in this draft with his talent and size. As of this writing, Kayshon is a sleeper in this draft because of rumors about character. I only look at film and tell you what I see. I learned a long time ago that the media is not to be trusted when it comes to rumors so for me I see first-round talent and teams will have to make decisions for themselves on everything else.
