This! And I think he would be better than any of them in that role.

Seems to fill that bigger WR role lacking otherwise in that room. To me he would replace Davis but project as sharing WR3/4 with Shakir. I will say I am not familiar with his injury history. Maybe that makes him cheap? I recall him being pretty productive last year, but do see he missed their Wild Card game, so yeah I would want medicals to check out. Also like Reynolds from DET in FA.

Yeah that’s what I think it was cover1’s podcast was discussing. Again, it was re: Mitchell though not Worthy. And I’m not sure if it was because a coach said to or just because the way their plays are called he “knew” he did not need to do anything being so far from the play. I know Mitchell said he does not always run routes full speed, but not sure if this came indirectly from him, too. But yes really easy fix!

Thanks, can you please point me toward where you saw these plays being taken off? Would like to watch them. Really? He is wide open on a lot of them and on a few others just turns the corner around defenders. I think what I like about Worthy is his ability to decelerate, which I think is what also makes Hill so dangerous.

Does this mean we are now the best team at running the Tush Push?

Watched one of those Buffalo podcasts yesterday (I think cover1) and someone said that was common in their offense (he was talking about Mitchell) because their plays often went to one side of the field. Can you please provide more details about what you’ve seen with Worthy taking plays off? Edit: I urge people concerned about his work ethic to watch Worthy’s recovered fumble play from the video I noted in my above post.

Rather get a bargain FA WR who can come in and be WR4 and draft (even if a trade up is required) our guy in the first round. My ideal combination right now is Noah Brown with Xavier Worthy.

Going to keep banging the Worthy drum. The more I watch, the more I see how complete his game has been throughout college working with different QBs against top competition. Wins all over the field with not just speed but also incredible route running and even some nice contested catches. The below video is worth a watch. Love his hustle at a little after 17 minutes to recover a fumble after his CB intercepted an underthrown ball. (Also, I think Jordan Whittington, the guy who caused that fumble and was Texas’ third WR option, is a decent mid-to-late-round prospect. Reminds me of a bigger Shakir.) Edit: Also beginning to like Tahj Washington out of USC. Anyone have opinions on him?

Great news. Loving our OL depth even without Bates.

I’m all for investing a 5th or lower into a cost effective back-up QB who might even develop into a guy we can either trust as QB2 or flip for an even better pick down the line.

Where is Milton projected to go?

Wow thank you this is great. Confirmation bias for me liking Worthy and being concerned about how often Coleman is making contested catches. Did not know it was so rough for Mitchell. Going to have to look further into those other guys at the top.

Is there a best source for stats on college WRs getting separation?

Marquise Brown as a rookie was 5’9”, 166 lbs, and ran 4.27.

Do you extend your very solid LT who is a pillar of the locker room? Yes. Do you trade him away absent a GM giving you a Madden trade type of return?

Zay had Andrews as the primary target for a while and he actually had more yards than Davis. Not sure I like Legette at 28 but I do like him as a prospect in general.

Coleman would be up there. Not sure who my second is though.

I do think he can be a WR2, but I am not as hung up on WR2 vs. WR3 and X vs Y vs Z for the position as others. I think he can come in and be as productive as Zay Flowers (5’9”, 182 lbs, 4.42 at Combine). I see him as just needing to put on 5-10 pounds over his first couple seasons. Marquise Brown (5’9”, 166 lbs, 4.27 at Pro Day), DeSean Jackson (6’0”, 178 lbs, 4.27 at Combine), and Devonta Smith (6’0”, 175 lbs, 4.54) are also each somewhat comparable. Plus the college production is there.

Rams? Evans, Kupp, and Nacua would be absurd.

He was in my top 5 WR pre-Combine, so what he ran only really confirmed what I thought I was seeing. His play looked good and I would have been interested in the first round even if he ran a 4.4. (165 “after a huge meal” based on…?) When I watch Worthy, I see Hill-like speed, although a more apt pro comparison might be Flowers from last year but to me a higher ceiling. I also see a guy who is good with contact, plays bigger than his size, tracks deep balls well, and has been productive since starting college. (If your ten month old son weighs 165 lbs, then please contact Beane immediately to let him know so he has his eye on him for an early 2040s draft!)

Fair enough given his size. But I see him bouncing off guys, staying on his feet, and continuing to gain yards, not being treated like he is Derrick Henry’s Josh Norman.

I get the size worries but he seems to play bigger than his size, keeps good balance, and does not shy away from contact

To you both, I’ll concede the Tyreek comparison may be too much (although with his speed and ability to stop we’ll see), but I think he is at about Flowers level coming in last year. Maybe a little better.

I think I want the next Tyreek

Does this rule out a return under the compensatory salary threshold?
