Next Sop Tetairoa McMillan's Pro Day

An X-receiver's route tree.

Decent YAC on Crosser's and Slant's...if they are shorter passes.

Tet is a good receiver. My problem isn't his testing or speed. It's his ability to play the X. He's more of a power slot (and very very good there) than a true outside receiver who can win against press. Could he develop into that? Absolutely. But I don't see him doing it that much on tape. He's an upgrade on what we have, but he's not the guy everyone always wants.

Not yet. He might just get there. I'd still prefer other players at 4, but I've come around to him after a modest trade down in the top ten. Still prefer Higgens in the late first for an X receiver, however.
Very good point and something that Steve Smith brought up in his review of Tet. He didn’t see press much in college but when he did he had issues with it. He’ll see a ton of press in the pros.

That's something that applies to pretty much every receiver coming out though. It's been an issue for Hunter, as well.

That's the feeling I get with Tet. He doesn't like to get hit. Seems to go out of his way to avoid contact.
 
Madden game has fried their wherewithal.
Or we just want to take advantage of finding one competent NFL WR for Drake Mage while he’s on his rookie contract
 
I just found out that that video of Tet saying he doesn't watch football is from his freshman season - ie before he became good. Maybe he started watching football! Context is important.

Talented receiver, no question, but is he a football player?
 
I've said from the beginning that I'm more critical of any behavior of a WR. That said we did bring in Stefon Diggs.
 
Interesting company from a Vrabel standpoint.

 
Same but here's his interview at the combine.

He seems like your typical diva type. No thanks.
I did not get the Diva vibes. Just a pleasant guy with a large ego which is understandable.

That being said, I would not be happy drafting in the first or second. If we do draft him, I have to believe that Josh McDaniels was not locked out the draft room but is instead up to his old screwups. Too much like Harry. Big slow guys do not cut it anymore; NFL CBs are getting taller and taller; heck you could probably cover him with an NFL free safety.

A 4,55 forty for a 6’5” WR isn’t that slow. That’s Tee Higgins speed.

Hey sure. I could well be totally wrong. I have screwed up before when predicting big, tall WRs as draft busts.

I would like to see him against some top SEC-style CBs. He fought Hunter pretty much to a draw but scored a TD on him because of his reach advantage. I don't know; I just prefer the small quick jitterbugs instead of the big lumbering oafs (many of who turn out great).
