1. He plays to his potential in a new system and a new opportunity.
2. He gets a chance to be in a committee and earn more playing time
3. He's slow to emerge and remains a low-snap depth chart option with a maybe a situational role.
4. He's not the new staff's "guy" and written off regardless

Loveland is one of the best talents among the skill positions in this class. Loveland can have as much value as (Brock) Bowers but expressed with greater versatility away from the box score.
"Independent of landing spot, Chase offers the versatility to play all three receiver roles. He’s physical, mentally tough, faster than people remember, and technically accomplished against press-man coverage....Don’t get too glued to the drop data.."
Jefferson is one of my favorite players in this draft ...He’s as economical a storyteller with his routes as there is in this draft class. This is an excellent trait...This is a smooth receiver with enough ruggedness to his game to play multiple roles and play them well.
"...If he holds up well against top CBs at the catch-point and as a route runner, a few lapses with hands positions won’t be a major concern...If he shuts the doors on these concerns—and his film shows he’s more than capable...—he could earn legitimate comparisons to Stefon Diggs."
Thank you!
"...he could be one of the five-most promising receivers in this class....Wilson is an organized learner and has communicated awareness of his (hands) flaws... being aware and taking his future job serious gives him a fighting chance."
"I can’t give you an elevator pitch in favor of Wilson as a 1st- or 2nd-round selection on the sole basis of his talent relative to his colleagues. The idea that he’s even in the same ballpark as Patrick Mahomes is as preposterous as the idea two years ago as it was for Drew Lock "
"...might be the best pocket passer in this draft. Isn’t that an ironic statement considering that he’s also the best runner at the position? ... a rare player with a rare combination of skills. If he gets the opportunity he deserves, he has the talent to become an NFL superstar."
"...caliber of arm and accuracy that allows him to make pinpoint throws without the constant need of fundamentally sound footwork. A former shortstop and son of a major league baseball player, Mahomes throws the football with the accuracy, velocity, and acrobatics of an infielder."

( If Purdy can improve the velocity he needs for specific throws, especially in the vertical game, he could develop into a capable starter if he lands in a situation where the opportunity becomes available for him to compete for playing time."

Me too. I hope someday you get functional cajones in addition to cosmetic ones.
"Despite lacking a cannon, Nix possesses the accuracy, technical prowess, manipulation skills, pocket management, decision-making, and athletic ability to develop into an NFL starter. "
