2.05 Dallas Junglehawgs - WR Jaelen Strong

In the real world: Strong was expected to go in the first 2 rounds of the NFL Draft, but fell all the way to Round 3, where the Houston Texans snapped him up. Strong says he had a wrist injury but that it was no longer an issue. Scouts say it's due to inability to gain separation on shorter routes (due to lack of ideal quickness or suddenness). NFL Films' Greg Cosell has suggested that Strong's inability to create space from defenders can be fixed through improved route running. The Texans plan to play him opposite DeAndre Hopkins in three-wide sets (with Cecil Shorts as the #2--never mind that Strong could outplay Shorts for the #2).

In the TUFF world: The most productive wideout on the Junglehawgs' current roster last season was Mohamed Sanu, and that needs to change (never mind that Dallas also has plenty of young talent at this position in Terrance Williams, Charles Johnson, Kenny Stills and Donte Moncrief). Dallas, at the very least, added depth with Strong, and in my estimation, he was the best available wideout at this point. I would have snapped him up at 2.06 if Dallas didn't take him here.
