NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 3
WR. Texas A&M. Christian Kirk. 4. player. 51.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff needs more receiving options. Those were the sentiments received after his 27-20 loss to the Washington Redskins.
Rookie tight end Gerald Everett came through three receptions for 95 receiving yards. Running back Todd Gurley came up with a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, but the Rams still couldn’t win in the end.
That’s where Texas A&M wide receiver Christian Kirk comes in. Despite the environment around him in College Station, Kirk has the ability to improve a team with quality players around him.

Kirk had three catches for 34 receiving yards and caught another touchdown pass for the second game in a row in the Aggies recent victory. Kirk speed has still yet to be fully realized but if the Rams can get him, they’ll help him find it.
He’s also a wild card in the punt return game, although he’s been held to just one punt return in 2017.
Kirk has five career punt return touchdowns and is certainly motivated after seeing Washington’s Dante Pettis recently break the record. Look for his stock to rise a bit if that happens.
