Alpha WR's

[MahomesMagic]

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.


Malik Nabers




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.

Xavier Worthy (20 y/o):

2,755 yards 26 TDs

Adonai Mitchell (22 y/o) :

1,405 yards 18 TDs


Tell me again which of these two is the "alpha" ...

Mitchell is a similar prospect to George Pickens.

The Chiefs didn't seem to be interested in him and haven't really ever been interested in that type of guy WR

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.

Pickens is a good comp. That's his FLOOR.

He can be way better.

I like how he has Nabers in the list when there are people that think some teams have Nabers ahead of Harrison.

Nabers will be gone early.


But he's an Alpha so had to give him a shout out in the Alphas thread.

I don't think Mitchell is half as good of a prospect as you make him out to be. We'll see how far under 4.6 he runs because I don't think it'll be by much. He also just doesn't have the physical presence to make up for it. Worthy is a far better prospect IMO and was easily the better of the two on that team, which let Mitchell get a lot of coverage rolled away from him.

Worthy is the Paris Campbell and Adonai is the Terry McLaurin on Texas.


I have already done this years ago where people said I was crazy to have Mclaurin ahead of the incredible tiny slot Parris.

Yea, I wouldn't want to talk about the drastic difference in production either...

McLaurin was a good prospect that ran fast as **** himself. That is not what you have here in Mitchell. I'd be happy with Mitchell at the bottom of 2. He's not worth discussing for me in round 1.

McLaurin ignored by the draft talking heads because the volume went through the slot at Ohio State.


I would prefer the better boundary WR who projects better at the NFL level.

That's Adonai who can be a #1 WR.

Worthy isn't a 1 or a 2 for me.

Wait… Parris was 6’ 205. How is that tiny?

I thought he weighed less coming into the league.

In any case, McLaurin was clearly the better player but every mock talked about Campbell like he was special.
