The draft website Scouts Inc. has Douglas graded a 72, meaning he’s a solid NFL prospect. ESPN.com NFL Draft expert Todd McShay rates Douglas the No. 102 overall player grouped in his “Tier 6” listing of prospects, meaning McShay believes Douglas is slotted to be taken somewhere in the third round.
One draft onlooker I talked to at West Virginia’s Pro Day last Friday indicated Douglas compares very favorably to former West Virginia corner Daryl Worley, taken 77th overall in the third round of last year’s draft by the Carolina Panthers.
Another former Mountaineer I believe Douglas resembles is corner Aaron Beasley, an All-America college player picked 63rd overall in the third round by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 1996 draft.
