Does anyone have thoughts as to who will pick up Mo, and what round he will go in?

I've never been a fan of pro ball, but I think whatever team picks up Purify will be the team I follow.

Nope and Nope. To be honest WR's are a dime a dozen in the NFL. Grant it there are players that stand out on occasion but for the most part they are plentiful.

 
He won't go very high due to his lack of high-end speed, but he'll go on the second day sometime. Coaches love a red-zone threat like him who can exploit mismatches, even if he doesn't run a 4.4

 
I think it's a long shot that Mo gets drafted. I'm sure he'll have plenty of opportunity as a free agent invite to some team's camp.

 
I've seen him as high as the third round in some mock drafts. Keyshawn Johnson made a career without top-end speed. There are a lot of "slow" receivers in the NFL, route running and having good hands are more important.

 
If he can have a decent combine I would think he can say to the NFL teams "Look what I did in my last couple of games when they finally started using me like they should have all year" and might help him have a shot

 
I'm sorry.....as much as i like Mo, i think he goes undrafted. He would have to drastically improve his stock between now and the draft, but i can definetely see him being signed by a team as a free agent. He has really good hands and is a huge threat in the red zone because of his frame.

 
Didnt Sean Payton come to a practice recently (like last couple of years) and when asked if any of the players "caught his eye" he mentioned a certain number 16? Could be another Colston type pickup....

 
he'll be drafter in second day mostly because of his size and hands. but the pro scouts won't soon forget that he had a monster day against arguably the best corner in the draft, mr. talib

 
He'll get drafted. Hell, there are teams that throw away draft picks on QBs from Hofstra in the 6th and 7th rounds. Purify is an awesome red zone receiver, hasn't had too many problems catching the ball, and has a real good vertical. Some team will take a flier on him in the 5th.

My money is on the Chiefs. Awesome 2nd WR to take over for Bowe when he moves into Kennison's spot next year.
