[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1062196, member: 12283"] My basic opinion of Golden as a player: -Phenomenal change of direction with explosive athleticism; has all the skills to separate from tight coverage and will be physical at the route break despite being smallish. -Stellar ball skills. When you talk about someone having great hands, that can mean two different things. It can mean they never drop a ball, and that isn't Golden-- he will drop one now and then. But it can also mean that a player is capable of consistently making the difficult grab (contested, through contact, one-handed, off-target), and that's Golden all day long. -Before the combine, when I watched him, one of the first things I noticed was how often he had to slow down for the ball. Maybe he's not a true 4.2 guy on the field, but he is really fast. He ran away from people and in many instances they had caught up by the time the ball arrived because Quinn Ewers is not good. -This is still a developmental/ascending player. He took a huge step from 2023 to 2024, and really only took the bull by the longhorns in the last 8 games or so. Statistically, it's a much riskier profile for a first round WR than if you just look at the tape. -Personally, I think you're talking about a Stefon Diggs type of player-- a guy who, in his prime, could play anywhere in the formation, act as a go-to target, and create explosive plays. [B]Overall, when you have a guy with the quickness to get off the line, the speed to threaten vertically, the COD to stem and separate, and the ball skills to make the tough catches, you're talking about a potential WR1.
