Denzel Mims has the speed, length and athleticism that everyone wants in a receiver, with that said he has one of the best receivers in Steelers history coaching him... Believe the future is bright with this number one guy as long as he can stay healthy (this year not included)
Jeff Smith former Boston College quarterback isn't a rookie but he had his debut on prime time stage and didn't disappoint... Smith route running isn't polished but the way his runs is so smooth that seems like he is gliding down the field... At 6'1" he isn't a true slot receiver but with his athleticism he could be that guy moving forward but he showed he can handle playing on the outside... Between him and Mims they will compete for who is number one and number two on the depth chart...
Jamison Crowder is currently the slot receiver and one if not thee favorite target for current quarterback Sam Darnold... He could end up being a trade chip this off season, whereas Braxton Berrios also showed his innate ability to be a top target for Sam... This allows Joe Douglas to be flexible with this position...
Lawrence Cager has the athleticism and length but is a raw receiver out of University of Georgia... He is the project to develop and would be a steal if he can put it altogether he could be a solid fourth option...
Vyncint Smith is in recovery but word is he has improved his short area quickness and route running... We all know he has the speed and football awareness... If he can put it altogether by middle to end of this year when he is healthy he would wind up competing with Cager for that fourth spot on the depth chart...
Final spot may go to a free agent or middle round draft selection... Jets Joe Douglas could now have a luxury heading into next off season...
