10 plus years ago I would have been pissed about a pick like this. Stick figures didn't last long in the league. Since the physicality has been taken out of the game I'm good with this pick. Just hope a safety doesn't get a clean hit on him.

With a year of experience with Hollywood (I think he is his replacement), he will be even better.

Keysor pointed out on Twitter and in his breakdown of Worthy that he does the same things as a route-runner that Ladd McConkey does, he just doesn't get attention for it because he ran a 4.21 40 at the Combine. My favorite is when Chiefs fans are like "Great, another Mecole Hardman." Dude isn't anything like him, and all it takes is watching him track one deep shot to realize that. |

I keep seeing wildly different heights listed for him but in the videos of him meeting Reid he Looks well over 6 ft rather than his listed 5’11

Doesn't get much more legitimate than that. But with good body control and an insane vertical, his catch radius should be pretty good. The issue is that he's not going to fight through contact for much. So that catch radius isn't likely to be put to a ton of use unless Mahomes just misfires on a ball into space. He's not a guy you wanna send it high and let him fly for on a crosser in the red zone, for instance. He'll die. And frankly a DB could just wall him off entirely too easily. But if you see him with a step on a guy but a safety shaded to where he's directed, you could elevate it a bit, get it over his DB and let him use his explosion and body control to stop and go up and get it instead of sending him towards traffic. We saw Tyreek do that on occasion. We do it with Kelce quite a bit still. His height is largely a non issue, good or bad really. |

Folks talking like he had afterburners and was some deep threat when he was a 4.5 guy who'd get caught from behind by linebackers. I mean if you wanted to try to argue he was De'Anthony Thomas I'd listen - skeptically, but at least I'd listen. But McCluster? That's just laughably stupid. |
