Player Summary
Branch is a small but sturdy receiver who brings true top end speed, acceleration, and elusiveness to both the slot and the backfield. His limited size and poor route running limit what you can do with him down the field, but a gifted OC with a plan can use him in a lot of ways behind the line and out of the slot to serious effect. He'll likely bring early value in the run game as he continues to refine his game and eventually be a solid slot guy. His playmaking ability in space will be very attractive to teams that know how to use him, so I would expect him to not go past round two. How high he goes will just depend on how many teams value what he brings. Wouldn't expect a day 1 sighting, but wouldn't be shocking to see him sneak in given the lack of impact starters in this class.
