2018 NFL Draft: Dallas Cowboys 3rd round pick Michael Gallup, WR

Michael Gallup, Colorado State

Game Film Evaluated:
Wyoming (2017)
Alabama (2017)
Oregon State (2017)

Analysis: Long stride. Impressive long speed and legit deep threat. He has good size and long arms. Average route runner. Struggles to get off press coverage and no understanding for getting a clean release. Runs a variety of routes and lined up in slot, on the line and moving around the formation. Struggles to make the difficult catch in traffic especially over the middle. Good leaping ability and he can high point the ball. 


Summary: Michael Gallup is an above average receiving prospect with good speed to become a deep threat but he is not a polished route runner to consistently generate separation, strong enough to make physical catches or quick enough to be an underneath option.  He needs to improve his route running and has got to improve his hands for the money catches over the middle. Until then, he is only a secondary receiver who will draw downfield attention from the defense but an NFL corner will be handle the rest of his game. Late 3rd round grade.
