    Stiff arms, breaking tackles, overall sturdiness. He also had the highest vertical 41.5" of all WR's and the longest broad jump. He is 30 lbs. heavier than Tank Dell and ran a faster 40-yd 4.39 than Tank's 4.49. Just what the Texans need in the slot.

    Seen alot of Kirk comparisons but Lance Z had a comparison that made me even more excited. He had a comp of a bigger/faster Tank Dell. Ironically, another teammate.

    So we basically have the improved version of Tank Dell now? Let's hope he can have the same chemistry with Stroud. Quick, lock them up in an AirBnB like Stroud's rookie year.

    If he can be even 75% of Steve Smith we're in good shape

    If he's able to take over for Christian Kirk, whom I'm not a fan of, in Year 1, that would be amazing.

    Why are you not a Kirk fan?

    Drops are the one negative I noticed from watching his reel.

    From all his pre-draft write-ups, drops were consistently listed as one of his weaknesses. I remember seeing terms like ‘unfocused’ and ‘lack of concentration’ pop up. He might end up being one of those love/hate players.

    Can't be as bad as Will Fuller and Noel seems to have a superior work ethic. I think we'll love this pick in the next few years as he'll give CJ a true deep threat to help stretch the field. Love the pick, short arms and all!

    No, he's definitely not in the frustrating Will Fuller category. But there were some drops.
