Good route running with shiftiness and size won't matter. He won't be the guy you toss it up to in double coverage, he'll be the guy you give crossing routes to and if the routes are crisp will be solid chain movers.

Hopefully that's true, but I also hope any more portal WRs we take are of the more physical 6'2" or taller possession receiver types (i.e. more like Cameron) that you can potentially toss it up to and trust them to make a play even when they aren't wide open. IMO we are at least at our quota of tiny WRs.

Same exact size as Monaray Baldwin

That wasn't exactly a forte of Monaray's.

I get that these kids can have good speed, good hands, and good route running... But that doesn't mean they aren't undersized

We need guys who can block, make contested catches, etc too

Gotta take what we can get with wide receivers. The Josh Gordon/Denzel Mims prototypical receivers are few and far between in the portal, and they command money that we really don't have considering all the other positions of need we have on defense

Kole gonna be a diamond someday.

The great thing about this offense is it doesn't require one go-to, do-it-all receiver. You can utilize a bunch of guys who do different things well.

We've already replaced the two slot guys we're losing. If we can just get a guy like Hal Presley, who has a big frame and is adept at high-pointing balls in traffic, we'll be in good shape.

He doesn't need to be a 500-plus yard receiver. He just needs to be someone we can throw jump balls to when the opportunities present themselves.

I'm not even talking about a Mims body type.

But something more than 5'9" and 170. Those are probably inflated measurements already.

The guy's a slot receiver, who was recruited to be a slot receiver. We'll likely add an outside receiver in the coming days/weeks. But adding established, high-production FBS players like Kole Wilson is always a good thing, especially when you're adding him to play a role he's well suited to play.
