Unlike the 4th rounder, this is a pretty good pick.

Like this kid.

Nolan Nawrocki: 28th rated WR, Not on top 150 value board, 4th-5th round projection.

Pitt's all time leading pass catcher. Street is a narrowly built, long-levered, smooth-muscles receiver whose best assets are his length and hands. Needs to incorporate more physicality into his game, but has the ability to be an effective zone beater and red-zone target.

-

Frank Coyle, Draft Insiders Digest: 25th rated WR, 156th player overall, 5th-6th round projection.

He is a developed prospect who has the components to be a good red zone receiver where he is a difficult matchup. Athlete was productive at a high level and should be a fine performer in multiple sets. Possible starter with development. Falling prospects off concerns related to his speed and recent injury history. Marginal top 150 pick with the skills to be a fine weapon.

-

Scouts Inc., ESPN: 32nd rated WR, 222nd player overall, 7th round projection.

Street is a natural pass-catcher with a good height-speed combination, though he would do well to bulk up and get stronger. He's not much of a threat after the catch, though, and he's a one-speed route runner who will have a tougher time separating at the NFL level.

-

Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout: 20th rated WR, Not on top 100 value board, 4th-5th round projection.

Street has an expansive resume and was the go-to target for Pitt the last few seasons, lining up in the slot and outside the numbers. Was effective in the short, intermediate and deep levels. He has an athletic frame with the height/length combination to match up well in the NFL, but needs to consistently play up to his measurables and develop his strength. Street projects as one of the top 5 seniors in this draft class and an early day 3 selection.

The call to Devin Street is pretty good. First time I think I have heard Dooley say much but he has the right mindset on things.

Cowboys pick Devin Street in 5th

May, 10, 2014
By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com

IRVING, Texas – The pick: Devin Street, wide receiver, Pittsburgh

My take: The Cowboys needed an outside receiver to help if something happened to Dez Bryant or Terrance Williams and Street was one of the last receivers that could come in and play right away. The Cowboys gave up their fifth (No. 158) and one of their sevenths to get him (No. 229)in trade with Detroit. Many of Tom Savage’s highlights featured Street. He can also play in the slot, but the Cowboys are covered in that spot with Cole Beasley and Dwayne Harris. He can make contested catches, which is something the Cowboys like to chart.

Notable: He caught 51 passes for 854 yards and seven touchdowns in 2013, but suffered shoulder and elbow injuries. He owns Pitt’s school record in catches with 202 … Like Zack Martin, the Cowboys’ first round pick, he was a team captain … He was a second-team All-Big East pick as a junior and second-team All-ACC pick as a senior .. His 73 catches as a junior tied him for fourth most in a season in school history with former Cowboy Antonio Bryant.
