I was concerned that all our WRs are the same size--about 6'2" and about 210-except for Johnson.  If you can't throw deep (time and arm) you need some YAC guys.  So we have Thielen, Mingo, XL, and TMJ all from the same basic mold.  He was not my first pick--I wanted the kid from Georgia.

having said that, in this image, he was hooked, preventing the back shoulder or quick out.  He will probably run outs, slants, digs (at times), and crossing routes.  He will not need to run the complete route tree right away.  I like Legette, but I did not understand the pick, frankly.

Yea none of our receivers fit our qb skill set and needed offensive scheme based on said qb and offensive line personnel besides Diontae, but they keep chasing this same big fast in a straight line but stiff and slow in the short area mold like Young is just going to be throwing play action deep bombs all game.  One day we will get a gm who understands the modern nfl, and draft some route running receivers who are explosive in the short area, but that time is not now.

Yea XL excels at the 50/50 balls he still has to learn how to be a complete receiver and hopefully he will with time. Youngs deep ball is the biggest question mark on our offense so far. Something I had hoped would have been worked on in the offseason but it still hasn't shown up and I'm not sure that it will. He can seemingly hit the corner/flag/deep out with consistency and a fair bit of distance but I don't think I've seen him complete a "go" ball or a fade like the 2 Dalton completed today in the red zone since he's been here and that is my.most concerning thing about Young. We don't have to rely on that aspect of his game to be a good offense but it HAS to at least be some sort of threat to the defense and so far it's still been non existent. Very concerning.

I mean he would have got flagged for holding, but I think was the case in multiple 1 on 1 today 

Maybe, I don't even understand what he was trying to do in the 2nd video though.   No separation and then he slightly cut inside and just stopped at the oob?  I believe it was probably supposed to be a fade to the corner and for some reason he just didn't do that.
