QJ is very very important in this class. He can play X or Z and is a game changer WR. I love the idea of having X,Z and TE that are >6-4. Need to continue to add quality at every position and restock.  It landing him would be a failure at WR in 2020. Imo QJ isn’t that far behind DDemas in terms of talent but a good bit better than Hester. 
Back to school time.... what’s the difference between X and Z?  What are the different skill sets required?

Back in the day you had a WR and a SE (split end).  The SE played on the line and the WR off the line.  Both were split out.  I’n Guessing X and Z are UT jargon for WR and SE?

Old school vs new school football, I get it man. I grew up old school too, but use the the new school now. New school there is a ton of overlap so players do more things they are good at. 

ZWR is traditionally your Flanker (last year Duvernay) - lines up typically on side of TE, slot WR. Your speedster, guy u can send in motion bc he should be off the line. (If by change he is on the line of scrimmage then TE/slot would be ineligible). 

XWR is ur split end. Bigger guy, away from TE side. (Collin Johnson) He can’t go in motion so CBs usually press him to get him off his route. Need to be able to get free of the press. Speed always helps. Eagles will be a X in 2020 when Collins but in practice he is playing Z. 

Hope that helps

Back in the stone age we had WR and a wing back that could split out wide or come in tight.

 
I’m not sure what the staff thinks on Eaton but they are very good at evaluating guys. I would like to wait for some senior year game film before finalizing on him. I feel the same on Alford(though I’m more ready for him than Eaton). 

Florida had had a bunch of issues this past week so I’m not sure if Rodgers is still keeping the door open. I just don’t want to rush in but I don’t think we can wait. Either take Eaton now or you don’t get him later. 

PS: I’m a dreamer so I still lay at night with Ringo on my mind
