Colts draft WR Adonai Mitchell - Round 2, Pick 52

[Hoopsdoc]

Mitchell had 8 catches for 102 yards and a touchdown yesterday.

Because of course he’d go to the Jets and immediately become a star.

You usually have to wait a few years to see which team did the best in a trade, but the early reports favor the Jets.

He had that talent here, he just didn't have opportunity. He was fourth on the depth chart and in the coaching staff's doghouse.

There’s also the matter of him screwing up almost every opportunity he DID get here.

To me the problem is the offense not the defense. I think DJ hurt his leg in the Chiefs game and the offense has sputtered ever since.

The offense has been struggling for the last month and it's because Jones is not beating the blitz like he did early. They need to run more quick passing game to get teams to back off blitzing, and Jones has to deliver the ball to his hots on time and accurately. If that happens, this offense will be just as effective as it was early in the year.

Mitchell had a great game on Sunday, and he very well may become a star with the Jets ...... but it was not immediate ...... he was awful in his first 2 games with the team before Sunday's breakthrough against the Falcons.

I suspect that he will wind up being closer to the player who had an excellent game against the Falcons than the one who had 2 horrid games against the Patriots and the Ravens.

I wish him well. Sometimes it takes a player getting traded/cur for them to be humbled enough to work to improve their craft.
