2020 NFL Draft: AJ Epenesa, Jonathan Taylor lead week 5 watch list
(6) Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders
We need to make sure we’re not going overboard just yet, but Jalen Hurts is looking more and more like he has NFL quarterback qualities. We’ll see as Oklahoma gets into the meat of their schedule but he’s taken some clear strides over the last two years as a passer, and we know what he’s capable of doing with his legs already.
Even if Hurts gets the same kind of initial looks as a guy like Trace McSorley got last year — a gritty winner and team player in college who has traits of a passer and skills to help immediately in the run game — he should be at the very least a day three selection.
Hurts’ stock is on the rise for me.
The 6-foot-2 junior has touched the ball 10 times for the Oklahoma offense so far this season.
He’s scored four times.
He’s averaging over 25 yards per reception and has more than proven himself as a big play threat.
This year’s wide receiver class is insanely good, and Lamb has a chance to be one of the best. He’s not only an amazing downfield player, but he’s exceptional after the catch with his speed and elusiveness in the open field.
Although he only has four catches this year, Calcaterra is a potential day two prospect at the tight end position with the ability to split out wide and be a mismatch in the passing game.

He’s not a traditional in-line type of guy, but Calcaterra is in the mold of Mark Andrews and Evan Engram in that he can be utilized as a big slot and wide receiver while functioning as a tight end in a pass-heavy offense.
