Zay Jones, East Carolina

Zay Jones is used to producing -- he finished his Senior season at East Carolina with the FBS record for career catches. That translated to some solid final-season production at ECU: a 39.89% target market share (meaning, he saw 39.89% of the team's targets), a 43.48% receiving yardage market share, and a 44.01% reception market share.

His biggest issue throughout college was scoring touchdowns. According to a study I did a few weeks back, successful NFL receivers averaged a touchdown market share that was north of 40% during their final collegiate season. Jones' touchdown market share during his Senior year was just 30.77%.

His combine should help, though, with, per PlayerProfiler.com, a 40-yard dash, Height-Adjusted Speed Score, Burst Score, and Agility Score all in at least the 78th percentile.
