Big-Bodied Late-Breakout WRs Bust
Jason Moore
"There is an archetype that often is drafted in the NFL and busts and does not work, and it is Malachi Fields' archetype. It is the big, oversized guy who gets older than all the kids around him and dominates them, and then goes to the NFL and goes, oh, this trick doesn't work anymore, and then completely flames out. There is no middle ground for Malachi Fields."
Context
Jason's pushback on Dan's Malachi Fields case. The archetype warning: large oversized late-breakout WR with thin separation game, jump-ball/contested-catch-dependent. Either he's George Pickens or he's gone. Notes from Jason's scout: "giant man with a late breakout age, basically catching sideline balls over little kids." Chris Brazzell would have been the better Giants pick at the same range.
