Mitchell enters the NFL with a lacking production profile, but he draws the praise of those who studied his game film due to his freakish combination of size, speed, and footwork. He will have the opportunity to immediately win one-on-one matchups in the red zone and should have blow-up weeks where he scores one or multiple touchdowns. Mitchell is a high-upside swing in Rounds 11-13 of your drafts due to his athletic profile and the upside of how that fits with Anthony Richardson and his plus arm strength and arm talent.
The Colts selected this big and rangy receiver in the second round of April's draft. The intent to deploy Mitchell on the outside as a field-stretcher appears clear given a collegiate career average of 15.1 yards per catch across three seasons split between Georgia and Texas. Capable versus both man and press coverage, it further helps Mitchell's case for starting snaps at the X that he placed in the 94th percentile among positional prospects in the 40-yard dash over the past 25 years, all while measuring at just above 6-foot-2. Target volume could hold him back from being a part of starting fantasy lineups early on, but the upside is clear for a player ideally matched for Anthony Richardson's rocket right arm.
