To everyone who spent the last 4 months screaming to not take T-Mac because what we really needed was a quick twitch slot WR and not a big outside guy........

Did we end up getting both in this draft?

I kept saying those wanting that quick shifty slot WR weren't wrong, we did need one, but we also needed that true outside #1, and I explicitly kept saying to take T-Mac in the 1st, then use the next few picks on defense while taking that mid-late round pick on the shifty slot WR as they're easier to find there.

T-Mac, XL, Coker, Horn Jr could make for a damn good Top 4 WR room if they pan out, although if they do, we won't be able to keep all 4 of them on a 2nd contract, but those are good problems to have.

Looks like what we've been missing. He said he's working on returns as well so that'll help his chances of earning a spot.

He threw his right hand out indicating the direction of his break. If he keeps doing that he will not fool a DB.

and he is running with his arms going across his body--that costs you speed.  Hands should be front to back, not side to side. 

And yes, keep your limbs within your frame on a pass route--throwing your hand out is a tell and it is wasted motion.  not only does it give away the route, but nobody ever caught a ball with their hands 3 feet apart.

Still, I like him.  Lets see if they take those flaws out of his game.  I get the feeling that he may not have been the primary focus at CU, so we shall see.
