In a Nut Shell:
A true technician, Lamb is a better athlete than the smooth appearance of his tape would have you believe. Lamb wins at all three levels and is the top receiver in this class. He stepped out of the “shadow” of 2019 first-round pick Hollywoood Brown and didn’t miss a beat. Before the catch/catchpoint: Lamb is a fluid route runner. He has similarities to Amari Cooper at Alabama in that way. Lamb may not be the most sudden, violent player at the top of his route, but he still creates separation—a lot of it. His release package is a little unknown at this point and defenses did not come up to challenge Oklahoma’s receivers so he didn’t have to defeat much press man. His speed is adequate, but he’s not a true deep threat burner like a Julio Jones.
BEST GAME:
CeeDee absolutely lit the Red River Shootout on fire. He ate Texas alive in Oklahoma’s biggest rivalry game of the season, racking up 10 catches, 171 yards and three scores with a long of 51 yards. Lamb put his entire game on display, winning at all three levels and providing a masterpiece for film geeks to salivate over.
Fit with the Packers:
Lamb would check every box for the Packers and is the best receiver prospect in at least three classes. He has a chance to be a legitimate star, every bit as good as Davante Adams, meaning he can pull coverage away from Adams or dominate one-on-one matchups. Acquiring Lamb would certainly require a trade up, but Lamb is just that good.
After the catch/run blocking: Lamb runs angry. OU’s offense was designed to work the ball downfield, sure, but they often got the ball to their playmakers in space as well. He runs the ball like a back with excellent vision. Lamb has an unquestionably high-effort level blocking and actually shows the desire and ability to seal defenders, as opposed to just getting in the way or running them downfield out of the play.
