Adonai Mitchell 🔵 This Is Why the Colts Drafted Him

[@Jo-oc-0]

Colt’s struck GOLD on this pick, also picked up draft picks 142 and 155 by trading back and luckily still having him available.

[@TheBerninatorHawk84]

And, they struck GOLD and possibly DIAMOND with the potential best defensive player in the draft in Laiatu Latu, A monumental day in Colts history. They are building the perfect team around Richardson. Now it's up to the coaching staff to get the most out of the roster and develop Richardson into a winning NFL qb. A qb who can win the big games and take them all the way. That part remains to be seen. (Giants fan btw, but super excited about the future of IND)

[@grandaddy0807]

Favorites gotta be Keon Coleman, seems hilarious. Happy colts got AD though

[@LudiCrust.]

Best case scenario he’s around 4th or 5th. The top 3 are well clear of everyone else. After the top 3 he’s competing with Brian Thomas & Ladd McConkey who I think are better receivers than him. I do think he’ll be a better pro than Xavier Worthy, Keon Coleman, & Roman Wilson. The college star WRs that made a living off purely their speed then rise in draft ratings into the 1st rd bc of their 40 time like Worthy has almost always bust out. Just in the last 10 years there’ve been over 10 of them that’ve all been busts. Worthy has practically zero chance of being able to beat press coverage; he’s not strong like a Tyreke Hill.

[@aaiirssjoy]

He has route pacing that doesn’t always mean going full speed but that doesn’t mean it’s just not in his arsenal anymore. There was a clip were he lulled the safety to sleep and blew by him full speed with like 5 yards of cushion for a TD. And plenty of other clips showing he’s still winning when he accelerates at the last moment and shields the ball for the jump ball win despite an easier pace at first. I’ve seen plenty of speedy NFL receivers who lack that ball shielding trait and can’t really slow down for the catch well. Mitchell is only getting better and will expand on his body control to use going full speed once in the league. His only real criticism is that he could finish his routes with more intensity/physicality and not go for easier going finishes just because he got the early separation quickly. He’s got all the polish and ability to frame guys off. Just needs to add that new dimension to his game.

[@joey.thieme]

This almost perfectly articulates how I feel about AD. People are overreacting to the whole "effort issues" idea.

[@IanHom-p5s]

Slowing down theoretically improves control, and its important to run with control rather than full speed all the time which can be reckless and impair vision. Kinda like kamara's running pace. he can vary his speeds and then burst when lanes open up

[@aaiirssjoy]

@@IanHom-p5s yeah more composure allows for more micro adjustments at the catch point. 4.3 speed means he can do that and hit that extra gear if still needed. I think that’s a part of why he is such a red zone threat because he knows how to maintain and release that intensity to win at critical times.

[@TinoBinoBandz]

Exactly bro, they don’t understand that part because they go solely off what they see and measurables!

[@slash196]

Deebo has the same reputation for taking plays off and he used that reputation to absolutely walk in for a touchdown after a fake sweep. Having a changeup in your bag can be an asset if it's used correctly. Time will tell.

[@Romefreak]

I laughed so hard when the Chiefs chose Worthy over Mitchell. They only focused on the speed, but Adonai has some crisp route running! He's gonna outshine Worthy in every department.

[@daveyusmc4863]

AD Mitchell is the 4th best receiver in the draft and closer to 3rd rather than 5th. Colts killed it with this pick!

[@ej9870]

I think he’ll end up a top 3 reciver in the class and is probably the best route runner other than Marvin he is great at using diffrent speeds to create sepperation and runs some of the best slant routes I’ve ever seen

[@zaygg5873]

i see justin jefferson more than anybody when i watch him. not as explosive off the line or as physical but the fluidity and body control looks identical. i can see bust factor for a few reasons but if he’s coached well i think he can be a number 1 for many teams

WELCOME TO THE COLTS MAN!!

[@Lee-dy5lx]

I realize its his highlight reel but that is true for everyone and when you look at his highlights there is never a defender within 5 yards of him. He looks like a guy that just knows inherently how to find the open space on the field and the gaps in coverage. And he is also an athletic freak. He looked different on film to me than most of the other high draft receivers.

[@FENCEGENERAL]

AD Mitchell has two of the biggest catches in UGA history... CFB history even

[@theindyjt]

Almost had the biggest one in Texas history, too.

[@darrenhill3514]

I think I might draft a few of these rookie receivers. Hopefully snag a gem like Puka became last year. Might as well if you can't get a teams WR1.

[@johneichsteadt4432]

Let's be honest here. Adonai's production would have been a lot better if his QB was better. Ewers is good, but he doesn't have great anticipation or accuracy. He doesn't need to see his guy wide open, but he does wait until he sees the window opening. This limits YAC, and has him move off reads to early. It also means he doesn't let his guys just make plays, except in "have to have it" situations. It also seems like Quinn doesn't practice these things a lot, especially the goal-to-go one-on-one type situations. If Quinn had been comfortable throwing more back shoulders and jump balls, Michell would have had a lot more yards and touchdowns. That's all the stuff before we get to all the other weapons the ball was going to. None of the other round one receivers had a situation he did. Every one of the non-qb skill position starters around him were drafted this year.

[@aaronchastain4668]

His wr coach, hall of famer Reggie Wayne, will make him a lot better.

@@cjboyer4355 that’s fine somebody is going to fall and corners and qbs are going to go higher than ever based on the wages these guys cost in free agency. 6 qbs in the first round 5 dbs, 5 tackles, 2 guards, 1 center, some random reach as always, that leaves 10wrs with first and high 2nd round grades chiefs will get somebody at 32 and if they’re smart they’ll find a way to go up to like 37 on day 2 and go get another. Rice is going to be gone for half the season maybe more you have to get 2 studs in this class. You’ll have Ross, the rugby flier, a practice squad dude maybe bring back Powell to fight it out in camp and two studs. Ladd is probably our guy and a lot of mocks have him falling out of the first all together. He’s the type of kid that you take in the first to secure that fifth year.

[@cjboyer4355]

@@dereksmidl8352 ehh idk if 6 QB’s are going in the first I could see Penix and Nix falling out of the first similar to Levis last year. These corners are not that great this year either. I agree about tackles though. The draft is a crap shoot and Veach is a wildcard all I’m saying is don’t be surprised if we just take BPA and draft a D lineman or DB if a top guy falls. Would love to see AD or Ladd be there at 32 and we snag them but wouldn’t put it past Veach to wait till the second and move up for a guy like Pearsal or Polk.

[@neubiineubii2931]

I mean, aside from the fact that you guys did this video pre draft and now we know he's a colt, he is not a josh Palmer type player. Palmer lineup more in the slot and replaced Allen in the chargers offense. The way Mitchell was used and now with the colts the player he will replace is Alec pierce. Low target, run down the field, and get it. This ruins his stock considering Pittman holds the #1 and downs the underneath slot position in a very low target offense with an imo unproven arm of AR who is inaccurate.

[@Jo-oc-0]

I'm on the he's being over rated by a lot side. I see him as a round 3 talent. I don't think he comes down strong enough with the ball and often gets off balance. His cuts that are being compared to Devante are no where near as smooth as him that I find it hard to really compare the 2. I think both his balance and his hands will get exposed by NFL corners which is why I would not invest much draft capital on gamble. But obviously 6'2 with speed and can cut sounds appealing so he will be worth taking a chance on.
