Yahoo Sports. - Darboh ranks very high amongst the most well-built receivers in this year’s draft. Weighing 212 pounds and standing six-foot-two, the 23 year-old is another prospect easily passing the N.F.L. readiness eye-test. However, he may need to add even more weight to be a day one starter at the professional level as Darboh struggles with losing defenders on his breaks. He does not possess elite acceleration or speed. He runs his routes at one speed essentially, but at the collegiate level he bullied defenders with his size. That will not be as easy against veteran N.F.L. defensive backs. Darboh looks like he has got plenty of room to grow in order to fill out his six-foot-two build, and assuming that becomes a reality he should be very effective at the next level. He plays with a physical and can’t-be-covered mentality, which combined with his playmaking ability would make him viable asset to any N.F.L. team.
DLF: Darboh is one of the best route runners in this class and he excels at making tough contested catches. He tested better than a lot of people thought. His 214-pound frame combined with his 4.45 40-yard dash means he has the potential to beat top NFL corners on the outside. Jordan Matthews pops up on his comparable list, which is very interesting considering both players are very technical when it comes to route running and are both high-effort players. He will need to be paired with an accurate quarterback that’s willing to pepper him with targets for him to be a viable fantasy asset. I feel he’s a very intriguing prospect who might be worth monitoring during the later rounds of your rookie draft.

Prospects Comments
NFL Analysis: Darboh offers plenty to like from an NFL and fantasy football standpoint. While he'll need to refine his comeback and hook routes (he too often tips CBs on these), he's a solid slant technician and has the long speed to be a deep threat on go routes and posts. He'll likely need to ascend to a role that affords him a sizeable enough target share to be fantasy relevant, but that will also give him time to refine other parts of his game. Darboh is a good stash candidate in Rounds 2-3 of dynasty rookie drafts.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "He's got a combination of size and speed and he competes. I thought he struggled a little bit against quality press. They played Colorado and he had trouble getting off press coverage. When he had open access, he was fine. He's also a good special teams player. I think he'll have the ability to cover kicks and punts and he's a tough kid." -- Mike Mayock
