Everybody that has a dissenting opinion isn’t a hater.
The staff has done a terrific job in the Portal this offseason, they just missed the opportunity to add big time playmaker at WR, it’s okay to say that, doesn’t mean I hate the staff or am being critical of them.
Having non-homer opinions are allowed bro, yall gotta stop being so over protective thinking every one who’s not waving Pom-poms all the time is out to get the staff lol it’s okay to look at things objectively sometime.
We’re just hoping the greatly talented WRs we do have mature the way greatly talented receivers do with good coaching and structure.
Proven is always safer but not always better. Excited to see Mello, JG, X, Key and Shard take that next step.

Was gonna leave it there but started wondering what we could expect from these guys based on age, production and scheme.
Also what we know about Gattis (and any OC)

Top 3
#1 - Key - 3YSph
Shows big play ability, toughness
Should take Rambo’s trust with TVD
Do it all type
Previous: 26/332/3
2022: should be top dog but will probably share until he can be consistent. If he has all the trust he can go off.
Prediction: 50/800/8
#2 - X - 3YSph
Safety valve, slippery, tough, captain
Should take Mikes trust with TVD
Attitude will keep him on the field
A nastier Renfrow
Previous: 24/373/2
2022: the most projectable player because of consistency in practice, games and off field
Will be open often in this offense that values space and his ability to create it
Prediction: 55/825/5
#3 - JG - Soph
Steady, body control, sudden, finds holes, quiet but productive
Previous: 7/183/1
2022: Ability to be in the right place at the right time will promote production. Trustable traits just needs opportunity. Biggest variable is the most important, needs to show consistent hands.
Prediction: 40/600/8
This is where it gets hairy because of youth, injuries, unpredictability
Possible Disruptors
#4 - Shard - Soph
Explosive, dynamic, powerful, big time
Gattis loves his multi-position qualities, potential in space
Previous: 14/199/2
2022: the big play ability was on big time display with 2 long TDs. Gattis saw it and took Brashard under his wing. While the biggest item for Shard to work on is his route running, he’s still one you can have packages for and run simple routes he can turn into 6. If he pulls a big improvement with routes it’ll get interesting.
Prediction: 25/500/7 and 300 rushing/3 rushing TDs
#5 - Mello - Soph
Prototypical size and length, route running is a plus, very good to great hands, creates very solid seperation.
Previous: 7/90/1
2022: my favorite receiver by far, the attitude and potential are NFL caliber. He can do everything on the field though speed won’t blow you away. Rambo ability with better route running. Health holds him back and lack of full grain gin due to it.
May have to wait till 23’ to see breakout becuase of it. Could also easily pull an Ahmmon Richards
Prediction: 30/360/5
