POSITIVES

— Above-average long speed. Can be a vertical threat if he gets to stride out undeterred.

— Good flexibility and body control. Long, lanky frame, but moves smoothly.

— Functional route-runner on the vertical route tree. At his best with go routes, posts and digs.

— Very good hand-eye coordination and natural ability to attack the ball away from his frame. Wide catch radius.

NEGATIVES

— Hot and cold YAC. Can be slow to turn himself into a runner at times; change of direction isn't threatening.

— Inconsistent ability to attack the ball in the air when contested.

— Poor blocker.

OVERALL

Adonai Mitchell is a lanky receiver with ample speed and surprisingly smooth movement skills.

Mitchell needs a few steps to get going off the snap, but once he does, he can really stride out and be an issue down the field. Mitchell can even do so reliably when defensive backs put their hands on him and try to slow him down. As such, he is a good piece to use on go routes, posts, and intermediate and deep crossers.

Mitchell also brings a good route-running foundation to get open elsewhere. Though his tall frame somewhat limits his quickness, Mitchell is a smooth operator for a player his size. He can sink his hips effectively, and he rarely gets hung up coming out of his breaks. Mitchell can run sharp-breaking routes such as slants, dig routes and comebacks fairly well for a player with his frame.

Best of all, Mitchell uses his length very well. He possesses natural ability to find the ball outside his frame and extend his hands to reach the ball at its furthest point.

Most of Mitchell's issues right now come down to consistency.

In terms of yards after the catch, Mitchell has nice flashes thanks to his ability to stride out and bend at the hips. However, Mitchell too often takes a beat to turn himself into a runner and doesn't always attack up the field the way you would like.

As a ball-winner, Mitchell doesn't always live up to his frame. He can win contested throws in the air at times, but due to his rather skinny frame, he does not do so with consistency or dominance.

Mitchell is also a poor blocker at this stage. He does not have the strength to move defenders, and his high center of gravity makes it tough to stick to blocks.

Mitchell is a good long-term play for a starting outside WR. Between his length, sufficient speed and relatively flexible movement ability, Mitchell has all the tools to blossom into a feature piece of an NFL offense with a bit more consistency.
