Oh I agree, he's my preference. I think he has the greater potential. I slightly disagree with crow as I think Mitchell goes before Worthy. 4.35 is plenty fast enough to take thr top off if that's what teams want, and there's less bust potential it seems.
Franklin is now the interesting one for me. Obviously the 40 was disappointing but he's 6" 3 and 4.41 isn't slow. Still a great YAC guy, young. Trying to work out how I'd feel about him at 32 if the others are gone. [Reply]

Hey look! Mahomes Magic has a mult account! [Reply]
I like Mitchell, and have liked him (I think he was my first pick in the first offseason exercise I ran, or maybe in the second). I don't like him as much as you.
But still... I don't think 4.35 shows up very often on the field. The long TD down the middle against Texas where he has to track the ball over a shoulder is the only one highlight that really shows off that type of speed.
Better to have it in the tank than not have it, of course. And I know he did the interview where he talked about running routes at 80 percent or whatever to stay fresh all game. But I do think he'll have to give closer to max effort on all his routes in the NFL to be effective at that level. [Reply]

I have been suggesting people watch the career highlights for Worthy, because you can see his progression from his freshman year, and it also shows how tough he has is.
Also, I suggest the Georgia highlights for Mitchell. He looked more dynamic with the Bulldogs, but they do have probably one of the best staffs right now. Texas? Still building, maybe, but not at the Georgia Bulldog level.
Before today I would have been fine with Mitchell at 32 (as long as Thomas and Franklin weren't available) but now I know he will most likely be gone. [Reply]

Yeah pre combine I had it as Franklin, Mitchell, Worthy , with Mitchell closing the gap. I figured if the 40s were similar I MIGHT prefer Mitchell because his route running is a step above for savvy. Now I'm fully onboard for Mitchell. Probably, marginally, I'd go for Worthy over Franklin now. [Reply]

Mitchell is a really good route runner, who happens to be huge and very fast. If BTJ or Mitchell are anywhere close to us on draft day, I hope we make a move for one of them. Maybe Mahomes will throw to Mitchell in the off-season, since he went to Texas and may be around there, and like Rice, he will give Veach his seal of approval. [Reply]
Mitchell and worthy are both gone before we pick and we aren’t trading up for a wr. I just don’t see us investing that much in a wr. If one fell to 32, maybe, but the more reasonable targets are after BTJ, Mitchell and worthy. They are all gone by 32. [Reply]

He also mentions that Ladd McConkey weighs more and was a better football player than Worthy.
That's a good reason to do it in reverse. Spielman was a terrible NFL GM. I could do better from my couch, literally. [Reply]
