Earlier, somewhere, I said Tez Walker was MVS with better hands, and when you watch him, he looks like MVS.

But, he catches the ball and is actually pretty physical when he needs to be. It appears that his route tree is limited to mostly downfield routes, but he is really good at them, so in college, there was no need to learn much else.

This is also how Georgia treated Hardman. They didn't care about developing him, because he did the thing they wanted, so why change anything.

I feel like I was harsh calling him MVS, and I kinda shit on him. I am sorry. The things I said were true, but I was being dismissive of his ability to learn and grow into a more balanced receiver. I felt like a dick, so I watched everything I could get my eyes on, listened to interviews, his, coaches, teammates, etc. and now I think if we don't pick a receiver in the first, and he is available, and BTJ, Mitchell, Worthy, Coleman, Legette, and Franklin aren't there, and any other player who should have already been picked, I wouldn't be upset at all to draft him in the 2nd round.

I saw more plays where he used both his speed and then his physicality to make contested catches, and I think I heard a stat that he only had a single drop all season, with an overall drop percentage of 1% rounded up. But, that may have been a different receiver. He would often be at the edge of Maye's accurate distance, and he would have to adjust or come back a little, and he easily bodied DBs out of the way, and he played some big time programs this year.

I thought about posting some links, and I thought I saved them, but I didn't.

If you really think Rice is a WR1, then Walker would be a great compliment to the offense.

I love Rice, but right now I see a very good #2. Mahomes is working on changing that right now. I think Mahomes could help Walker develop into a great receiver.

But, Reid and Mahomes would have to really coach him up, but as I said a few days ago, Tyreek Hill was a running back when we drafted him. Recently Reid said he intended to use Hill as a return man, but after seeing how fast he was in camp, and also after seeing how Hill has a high football IQ, he said he asked Hill what else he could do.

In the interview Reid said that Hill said give me some time and I will be your best receiver, so Andy started practicing Hill at WR, and said after 2 weeks Hill was right.

I have to remember that draft picks aren't supposed to show up finished products, even though some do.
