How about Keon Coleman?! I think he's the best "Alpha" WR we have a shot at!
He's young too! What really sells me on the kid is go watch his returns! ...see how he instinctually makes the immediate move after catching the ball to shake initial defenders and take off up field, like he doesn't have to think about it or he's seeing the play in slow motion. Especially slick for a 6-4 guy. Fuck! Our WRs can't even catch a pass when they're wide open, this kid's effortlessly one or two chess moves ahead of the field before he even touches the ball. His natural instincts and athletic ability really shine in those plays! [Reply]

I like Keon more than Franklin or Worthy. But Franklin will come in more polished for his role. Keon you have to be patient to get him to a possession 1. [Reply]

1. WR Keon Coleman
2. WR Xavier Legette
3. RB/WR Malachi Coley
4. RB Braelan Allen
5. TE Theo Johnson
^That's a physically dominant draft class!
Yeah, everyone trying to find the next MVS or Mecole or Skyy Moore when the only WR we drafted that is good in the last 6 years is a beast in Rice. [Reply]

I'm not completely against this sentiment, but hard to argue that Tyreek wasn't amazing in Andy's offense and that he's partial to smaller, speedier, separators traditionally. [Reply]

Yes, Tyreek was the most dynamic separator of all time and Veach traded him.
Please don't mention little Worthy or frail Franklin in the same sentence as the Cheetah. [Reply]
Irony of calling WR’s an alpha and shitting on skinnier WR’s while stanning Zay Flowers who is 5’9” and had to work his ass off just to put on weight to get to 180 lbs :-) [Reply]

It's just so odd.
Dude is acting like 2 of the best rookie WRs weren't tiny last year.
Conveniently, can't find a take from him on either guy last year. [Reply]

He was never a 1st rd WR to me. I’d take Jayden Reed over him all day
