2. Josh Doctson, TCU

Josh Doctson may be the best red zone threat in this draft as he scored 14 touchdowns last season with the TCU Horned Frogs. Defenses knew the ball was going to Doctson and he still racked up reception after reception. His most spectacular game was probably in the 2015 season against Texas Tech. In the high scoring affair he recorded an amazing 18 receptions for 267 yards and three touchdowns.

Doctson does not have break away speed but he isn’t slow. He has a Steve Smith like quickness to him and an Anquan Boldin like ability to make the tough catch in traffic. Doctson is a mismatch for many cornerbacks with his 6’3″ frame. He is the perfect receiver for Joe Flacco. If you give Doctson a one on one matchup, Flacco would bet on his new receiver every time.

Doctson finished the 2015 season with 79 receptions and 1,327 yards. He averaged an undeniably awesome 16.9 yards per reception. He is a big time weapon and the Ravens must be interested in that.
