Strengths

  • Makes full use of his size and play strength in one-on-one battles.
  • Owns his space and defender’s space when catch is contested.
  • Magnificent timing and extension to snare throws up the ladder.
  • Uses subtle hand fighting to create late landing space for the throw.
  • Powerful hands create added catch security with or without contact.
  • Sneaky burst gear propels vertical separation and run-after-catch speed.
  • Capable combatant when asked to do his part as a blocker.

Weaknesses

  • Can win the catch phase, but the release and route phases lack polish.
  • Tennessee’s tight press-man coverage was all over him for much of the game.
  • Rushes through route design rather than selling it to the cornerbacks.
  • Below-average quickness getting in and out of his breaks.
  • Hits cruise control and waits for jump balls rather than keeping foot on the gas.

Ok, didn’t give up anything really, dropped our 5th to a 6th. I guess they were afraid of the Bills taking him. I’m fine with him. Now gimme JPJ or Cooper or a CB at 39 😏 

Dropped top of 5th to bottom of 6th right? Dumb I prefer the guy from TX

I wouldn't be afraid of XL being gone with AD or Ladd on the board...

Dunno which 5th and 6th. Dunno if it’s the teams’ original picks in those rounds.

No real issue with the trade. It's worth giving up a 5th rounder (considering they have two close together) for that extra year on the contract. I would've taken Mitchell though.
