Since Kyle puts a premium on the ability to separate, it's much easier to find smaller guys that can seperate than guys like Julio Jones. Those guys simply don't exist.

This. Pretty sure he was on record saying he'd love to have a bunch of Julio Joneses. Not every tall/fast receiver is created equal and Tate has a long way to go to be compared to him.

See how he does this year.

According to this website, the 4.31 is his short shuttle. His 40 is missing.

Now didn't Solomon Thomas run a 4.28 shuttle...just for comparison sake

Yup...while I got no problem with them going after a guy like Sutton or Cain, I wouldn't be surprised if kyle wanted a guy like Christian Kirk who's got some OBJ in him.

There's also gonna be a s**t ton of good WRs in FA next yr, they aren't all getting signed imo. I've always been a fan of Donte Moncrief who seems to find the end zone.

The Kirk to Kirk movement is gaining steam.

I like Antonio Callaway more than Kirk. I haven't seen Kirk run more than some bubbles, sceeens and goes.
