Thought I would create a thread dedicated to the Alpha WR's as there has been a lot of attention already on getting a better Mecole or MVS or tiny 140 lb slot WR's.
Alphas can't be stopped, you can only pray to contain them.

Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell is no stranger to Georgia fans. 2nd & 18, 8:16 left in the fourth quarter, Stetson Bennett drops back and completes a 40-yard touchdown strike to Mitchell over the outstretched Alabama defender to garner Georgia the lead in the national title.
It's arguably the biggest catch in program history, and according to sources, Mitchell is only scratching the surface of his stardom. It's virtually every day at this point, Mitchell will have people within the building raving about some miraculous catch he's made, or how he caught 80% of the footballs during 11on11 scrimmages.
Watch as Adonai takes over the game and has to be held repeatedly to avoid further embarrassment.
Yes. We need a wr that has that attitude that MJ, Kobe or Mahomes has. They have that desire to win that’s different. Some of these prospects come across as pretty content. I’ve fallen victim to be fooled by the numbers and think we’ve got to draft for attitude and demeanor more than we have in the past. You can see that attitude rashee rice. He was upset in the Super Bowl and wanted the ball more. He was ready for the spotlight in the big moment. Give me more guys like that. [Reply]

Tell me again which of these two is the "alpha" :-)...
Adonai Mitchell is a top 15 talent in this draft.
Worthy I would value similar to Josh Downs last year who went in the 3rd round (and I wanted Downs then). Downs has better change of direction. [Reply]

"Doesn't quite do it as well" is an understatement of epic proportions. Pickens displayed excellent body control and a real knack for fighting for the ball. While similar in size, Pickens displayed some fantastic athletic ability when the ball was in the air and seemed to all of a sudden become "more athletic" depending on the degree of difficulty of the catch.
There is simply nothing in Mitchell's "tape" that exhibits what Pickens displayed. [Reply]
