Kiper says one of the steals of the draft. Size and natural pass receiving skills. Played well against big competition. Shocked he wasn't taken in 3rd or 4th.

From ESPN:

 

What he brings: Lewis has an above-average combination of size (6-4, 214) and strength to go along with adequate top-end speed. While he needs to add polish with his routes and do a better job of finishing at the top of his stem, he does flash the ability to create late separation and win in one-on-one contested battles.

@JaySkurski: Dez Lewis' only pre-draft visit was with the #Bills. The team and player kept that under wraps well.

Seems that they came in with a handful of major targets and got several. The Rb and TE from fsu were no shock, this guy seemed a specific target, Darby was posted here before the pick.... I wouldn't be surprised to hear their final board was a bit smaller than we would expect (with of course a more extensive set of guys just in case things took a major turn.

Watched the Texas Tech tape. He's tall and long. Smooth runner although I agree, not a speedster. Made a couple highlight reel catches. Did it against solid competition. The draftniks question his toughness and I did see him run out of bounds one play where he should have stiff armed the guy Fred Jackson in Chicago style. Crappy QB throwing to him so he knows how to adjust.

 

Interesting small school receiver. Definitely worth a 7th round pick.

Last year we pick big guys for Marrone's zone and this year we get small guys when we want to power run. Don't see O'Leary drive blocking anyone.

It's as if you've never seen him play or read anything anyone has ever written about him.

Lewis has a shot, but it's a very long one IMO... He requires a significant amount of remedial coaching... Perfect 7th round pick for a draft riddled with blown opportunities and lousy decisions. Wonder who claims responsibility for this level of incompetence? Whaley? -Tpegs?

Maybe they read your suggestions.

not a speed guy? He's 6'4 214 and ran a 4.46

 

@ChrisTrapasso: Lewis could certainly be a PS stash for #Bills. But his size and high-pointing skills are intriguing.

Football speed, not run in shorts speed. His play showed it. That is why he fell. Work out warrior. The kid will do well due to size and hands in the Red Zone if he toughens up against better competition. This is a good pick up

I'm not so sure that you can say someone from Central Arkansas fell.
