Marques Colston Grade: 3.19  Position: WR  Class: Sr  School: Hofstra  Conference: Atlantic Ten  Ht., Wt.: 6-4.5, 224  40 Time: 4.55   Selected by: New Orleans Saints   Round 7, pick 44 (252 overall) Grading System

BIO: All-Conference selection as a senior after posting 70/975/. Missed the .04 season after leading the team in receiving the prior year with 51/910/7. POSITIVES: King-sized wideout whose game significantly progressed last year. Offers the quarterback a big target, gets vertical and out-jumps opponents for the pass. Nicely adjusts to the throw and has reliable hands. Comes back to the ball, makes the reception in stride and looks the pass in. Has a burst of acceleration and displays speed in the open field. NEGATIVES: Slows into breaks running routes. Must display better awareness, get past the sticks on third down and consistently catch the ball before he runs up field. ANALYSIS: A prospect with outstanding size/speed numbers, Colston has the ability to be a No. 2 receiver in the NFL once he gets adjusted to the speed of the game. An outstanding red-zone target who also flourishes on third-down situations. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
