, Mitchell receives the"Best Offensive Skill Position Pick," award. Here is what Sikkema had to say in his breakdown of the Texas playmaker.
Mitchell was the 22nd-ranked player on my big board and the class' WR4. So for the Colts to grab him at pick No. 52 makes this an easy choice for my favorite offensive skill player selection. I also love it for the landing spot. Indianapolis needed to get more dynamic and more vertical. Michael Pittman Jr. is a good “X” receiver, and Josh Downs is an ideal young slot option. But the Colts needed someone else on the outside who can win with athleticism. Mitchell gives them the potential for that and more. I believe he’s an instant contributor in year one.
Mitchell didn't leave Texas with the statistics that former teammate Xavier Worthy did . However, Mitchell's size, speed, and incredible route-running could have a higher ceiling than Worthy's in the NFL. Also, Mitchell is a bigger target to throw to, giving, he graded at a phenomenal 89.4 drop grade and was as efficient as a pass-catcher can be with reeling in targets. He also shows versatility as a slot receiver, playing 94 snaps in the spot last season.
It's far too early to tell how Mitchell's rookie season will turn out. But, with his athleticism, skills, and raw abilities, Mitchell has a chance to shine quickly and become something great. Getting a talent like Mitchell in the second round is a steal, we'll see how fast he can adjust to the NFL.
