Must. Draft. This. Man.

You won't like this but that looked like Diggs in slow motion. :-) Still, that's a helluva route for a 6-4 dude. 4.61 though. Who's his comp do you think? 

A tick slower Sydney Rice...Ed McCaffrey...

I'm starting to really like this kid as a mid-round, deep threat WR.

Fast, thin wideouts are type-cast into the same deep threat role. What separates Mooney, however, is his ability to win vertically not only off of his athleticism but with technique. He’s well-versed at getting off the line of scrimmage against either off or press-man coverage and is a patient, crafty technician that understands leverage."The main thing is to give him something quick," Mooney told TDN. “And after that, if I stack you, it’s kind of over with.”
In order to find out what Mooney’s future has in store, I needed to look back to see what he’s always aspired to be. When I asked Mooney who he modeled his game after, two immediate answers came out of his mouth: Adam Thielen and Jarvis Landry.
“[Thielen] runs great routes and [he’s] super explosive in and out of his routes,” Mooney explained. “Jarvis Landry as well. I like Landry particularly because he's very aggressive. I’m not as aggressive as he is yet, but it’s a long time coming.”
Both of these are simply wonderful players to try and emulate as each excels in the technical and mental aspects of the game, areas where Mooney — or any prospect for that matter — could stand to improve in. They also are both superb with their hand usage and really comfortable using long arms to create last-second separation on deep patterns. Mooney has yet to really develop his hands to use as a weapon, but it’s clear that it’s a trait that he wants to (and can) improve on.

He's a Slot only guy, but Minnesota shouldn't even try to replace Diggs production all at once regardless of who the Rookie is. What they need to do is get someone who can challenge Defenses deep often enough to not have to ask Thielen to do it 

This kid is Will Fuller with much better route running skills. Like 7 times better route running skills. He's a Home Run threat on more than just the long stuff too.

I was initially down on this kid when Goeff had him in I think it was his 1st Mock. Cuz I hate the hands. Hate them. Not the drops. The hands. He puts them in poor positions to receive the pass properly too often.

But he's spoken about that publically and that can be coached up. And frankly, I need to get over thinking any one kid, no matter how highly rated, is going to replace the production that Stefon provided last year.

The Offense finished the year in the Top 10 despite Thielen and Cook missing chunks of time. But it was sporadic. Streaky. To get better, with another year in the same system but with some tweaks from a far more experienced Coordinator, requires the same  threats plus new wrinkles. Adam and Dalvin and Cousins are going to be consistent centerpieces and I like Irv, but something else needs to manifest. Deep Threat Rookie, Sharpe and Bisi as a combo should be enough to fill the gap. 

So I'm changing my opinion on the Deep Threat guys. Mims, Reagor, Hamler. Whatever helps the Offense to continue to progress. Can't forget Shenault either.
