The Indianapolis Colts selected Phillip Dorsett with the 28th overall pick. Here is the scouting report, courtesy of Jeff Hyde (@Jeff__Hyde).

This kid is fast - probably the fastest player overall in this year’s draft class. But that’s not the only thing he is.  He’s quick, he’s precise, and is without a doubt, an effort guy. 

Phillip Dorsett is a guy that might not make every single play that comes his way, but you better believe that if he drops a pass, he’ll make up for the next one by taking a quick screen to the house. 

NFL teams will like his effortless speed, his quickness and tremendous route running, but what they’ll fall in love with is his infectious playstyle.  He’s a gamer.

He is a terrific deep ball route runner.  He adjusts his body well to the ball, tracks it in all the way and does a great job of hand fighting to create separation in order to bring in the home run ball.  A bit undersized, and has a history of drops, but he’s a playmaker and will continue to be a playmaker at the next level. 

I see Dorsett dropping a bit due to his inconsistent productivity, but could go as high as the second round in the draft.
