These 2 aren't 3 lbs different. No way in hell. 

I’m 5’11 and very muscular. I am 190. No way in hell is Bryce 205. I’ve seen him in person and it reminded me of this pic lol some bs going on on those metric stats for sure.

Bryce's 204 was the equivalent of this cat's 6'0". I bet they are the same size

Bryce played at 185-190 while at Alabama. So Pavia actually weighs a bit more and probably can carry some extra weight easier

He absolutely did not and there were even reports pre draft he played at 165.

I'm the same. I missed my calling.  I wanted to be Smitty.

Tepper will demand we draft him because it'll make Bryce look taller.

And they shouldn’t. You can’t tell me that a number of teams would not have had Bryce on their board strictly because of his physical stature. For sure not for day 1. 
It is a big man’s game.  As they say. I never took him seriously as a possibility until the team forced me to. 

Bryce has at times, a couple or three, done better than I ever thought he would. He hasn’t sustained it though.  Because it’s fuging hard. He did a very good job in the playoffs against the Rams. But that was actually what told me they probably were not gonna win that game yesterday. What did he do against Seattle? Rams just aren’t that strong defensively. 

As far as small guys I do think a Smitty lite is what this offense could really use. I dare not hope for a 1 to 1 Smitty comp, we couldn’t get that lucky, but someone in his mold would really complement this WR bunch. 
 

I too would like to add a HoF WR to our receiving corps.

Bryce looks like a puppet next to Murray...

Oh yeah. Definitely.  And it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that we just did that. With luck health wise Tet could have a long productive career. 
 

I did say ‘lite’ when looking at Smitty types.  Like, Horn is fast but with a body type more like Bryce, get one with a body type more like Murray. Which would be Smitty like.  Not really stocky but sturdy. Still quick as hell.
 

What made Smitty HOF was that heart you aren’t likely to find that.

And a chip on his shoulder the size of BofA stadium.

Pavia's actually measurement was 5'9 7/8s. Bryce measured in at 5'10 1/8. They're probably the same height. Bryce's mini 'fro probably added at least 1/4".

One thing that's always bothered me about Young is that he doesn't look like he ever touches weights. I thought for sure after we drafted him, he would go crazy in the weight room and gain some size. He should've gone from 175 to a legit 200 by now but he just doesn't seem to care.

Same here.  State of the art training facilities, private chef, private coaches and he... still looks 16.

He wouldn't have been so small coming out of college if he did that
