watching more I take your point concerning his ability to separate at the next level. he's neither particularly fast or particularly quick and though he does have more route diversity than Boykin (not to beat that comp into the ground), he almost needs to be a first read and win with leverage and body one on one. he's still really good after the catch and intriguing as a possession guy but I'm perhaps a bit high on him to call him a #2 type out of the gate.
he's absolutely someone who will be good with the ball in his hands and certainly has enough tools that he might become successful but for a guy wit his size there's a few things that worry me about him as a prospect:
1) really inconsistent catching the ball, while you can blame terrible service, at the pro level he's going to have to make those sorts of passes stick because the windows are tighter and the ball comes out quicker
2) not great at the catch point in terms of physicality which given he doesnt have the pure dynamism to separate with suddenness is going to be crucial to him and
3) the inconsistent ability to separate
the above is why id be nervous about him as the 1st read and winning leverage - because he's not particularly strong at the catch point and doesnt use his body in the way you'd hope a bigger guy would
but he's definitely someone who's really interesting and physical after the catch
honestly with our track record i would not expect him to come in and make an impact
EDIT: i also wanted to put this out there about boykin - while edwards runs more various routes etc. looking back at boykin's college tape after we drafted him there were really cool nuances to the way he ran routes that gave/gives you real hope that he can become a technician as a big receiver as a route runner and im not seeing those same route running skills from edwards
