Draft Notes:
  • 5’9 182lbs
  • Great burst and twitch athlete with suddenness
  • Shorter frame but played outside and inside – seems to be more filled out than some of the other smaller prospects in the class – doesn’t project solely inside
  • Great ball tracking – not a minnow at the catch-point despite his size – in fact he’s physically dominant at the catch-point – wins with timing and tracking and hands – really beautiful late hands
  • Great field awareness
  • Bloomed a bit later – hands were great in 2022 but had been guilty of drops in prior years – 2022 was full of career highs – will be a 23 year old rookie
  • Electric in the open field – ability to make guys miss in space with nice jump cuts and good field vision – physical through contact – good leg drive and finishes – able to grind out yards and also break tackles
  • Used a bunch in motion across the formation – used a lot on jet sweeps supporting the run game
  • Really twitchy and sudden with his releases
  • Really controlled movements through his routes – flies off the LoS and attacks leverage and eats cushion – breaks with explosive suddenness
  • Clean at the breakpoint with smooth cuts – able to accelerate through his break especially on 90 degree cuts like on digs and outs and flatten – not too many rounded breaks on his tape
  • Really nice route stems
  • Fairly decent route tree

I’m so glad to add Flowers. Explosion for days. A threat every time the ball is in his hands. Been on his train since the beginning and glad it came to fruition. Wasn’t my absolute top guy left on the board but doesn’t really matter at this stage.

Who gets that priority for #4?

Isaiah Likely or Zay Flowers?
