Will Fuller was a 4-star recruit from the same Pennsylvania high school that produced former Colts great Marvin Harrison. He committed to Notre Dame in 2013 and played sparingly as a freshman, catching 6 passes for 160 yards and a TD. He made a big jump his sophomore season when he had 76 receptions for 1,094 yards and 15 TDs (3rd best among FBS receivers).
Fuller established himself as one of the premier deep threats in the college ranks in 2015, catching 62 passes for 1,258 and 14 TDs. The Biletnikoff semifinalist averaged more than 20 yards per catch and a TD every 4.4 catches and was voted second team All-America by the AP and the team's MVP. His 30 career TDs ranks second in school history.

Verdict: Second-Round Pick
There are plenty of things to dislike about Fuller: He's small, he has drop issues and he might not be able to win at the catch point in the NFL. But receivers who can stretch the field and are a threat to score on every touch are rare. Fuller rivals likely first-round pick Corey Coleman in that area.
Wide receiver is a relative luxury for the Cowboys, but adding Fuller would make the offense much more dynamic. He'd give the team a threat at the deepest level of the field and make defending every other level that much tougher. It can be argued that a player like Fuller would upgrade the Cowboys offense more than any other in the draft, which is a bargain in the second round.
