The Safest Player in the NFL Draft: Ryan Switzer

Posted Apr 6, 2017
With the lack of receivers who can develop into number one options, it is astonishing that the safest receiver in the class gets no buzz. The term “safest” is normally hyperbole when assigned to a prospect, or it’s reserved for a top 10 pick who has a perceived high floor. But I am willing to make an exception for Ryan Switzer and call him the safest prospect in the draft. (NDT Scouting)
