With the 236th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select: Davon Grayson, Wide Receiver, East Carolina

The 7th Round is all about taking chances.  Taking a chance on a prospect with enough raw talent that he can be developed into a contributor.  Exactly like what Dallas has done so far with Rico Gathers. They can take another chance this year on Davon Grayson.

The wide receiver from East Carolina has been plagued by injuries his entire career but has the ability to be a consistent threat on the outside.  Although, this past season, he hauled in 59 catches for 886 yards and 6 touchdowns in spite of nagging injuries.

At this year’s NFL Combine, Grayson ran a 4.51 40 yard dash and had a 34.5 inch vertical.  He had 19 reps on the bench press and a broad jump of 124 inches. Just for comparison’s sake, all of those stats were better than Antonio Brown’s combine stats.  Odds are Grayson will not become the next Antonio Brown, but based on the combine and college stats, he has the raw talent to.
