Overview
Meier is a converted quarterback that made the move to wide receiver his junior year to get on the field. He is a good route runner that knows how to use his size to shield defenders from the ball and shows good strength to the ball when in a crowd. He is a bit of a strider and can sneak by opponents by varying his speed and lulling them to sleep but lacks the top end speed to just run by people. He is a little stiff and struggles to sink his hips and come out of his breaks with a big burst. He lacks the speed and explosiveness to get a lot of yards after the catch. He has a chance as a possession receiver but is not the type teams are looking for as potential starters.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Meier lacks the top end speed desired from starting receivers. Will not threaten defenses deep down the field. Doesn’t have the explosiveness to eat up cushions. Lacks the burst out of his breaks to separate. Will not gain much after the catch.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
