1.03 Denver Devils - WR Laquon Treadwell

In the real world: Treadwell, another 2015 Biletnikoff Award finalist, overcame a nasty leg injury to re-establish himself as one of college football's best wide receivers. Justin Howe says he may be more like Michael Crabtree--a possession receiver rather than a #1. But he's a beast of a wide receiver--great physicality against opposing corners, will fight for yards after the catch--and he could be the Vikes' #1 receiver already.
In the TUFF world: Denver moved up to #3 in a trade with Minnesota, the original holders of this pick, on May 1 (one week before this draft began), and wound up with arguably the best receiver in this year's draft. They did have to cough up a second-rounder in 2017 to make it happen. They also have Alshon Jeffery, Tavon Austin and Jarvis Landry, with two 2015 first-round picks (DeVante Parker and Phillip Dorsett) waiting in the wings.
