April's NFL Draft will give hundreds of prospects from all levels of college football, including the Group of Five, the chance to make the jump to the pro game. That includes Western Kentucky's highly touted receiver Malachi Corley.

The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner published his latest mock draft on Monday. In it, Baumgardner projects that Corley will be the #54 overall selection by the Cleveland Browns. That would make Corley the 22nd selection of the second round.

"Corley’s value extends beyond pass catching — his yards-after-catch potential makes him a possible run-game factor, too," Baungardner noted.

Corley finished his college career with 259 catches for 3035 yards with 29 touchdown grabs. He also carried the ball 15 times in the last two seasons for 98 yards over the last two seasons. He was a two-time All-CUSA selection for Tyson Helton's Hilltoppers.

The NFL Draft is set to begin on April 25 in Detroit, Michigan.
