Stribling's blocking and all-around skills could earn early snaps in Shanahan system; WR5 flier.

Stribling, a de facto first-round pick and 'maybe the single most controversial selection of the entire draft,' is a 24-year-old (in December) who enters after a genuine five-year college career. He never reached 1,000 yards and managed only 23 touchdowns in 56 games, but has legitimate size/speed at 6'2/207 with a 4.36 40-time and has drawn plaudits for his blocking. The source notes his all-around skill-set means Stribling could be valuable right off the bat, though it might be more in 'real life' than fantasy. He's worth a WR5 flier as someone set to catch passes in a Shanahan-orchestrated offense, with blocking potentially being the key to getting on the field early where he could then make big plays.
