And Sutton is the better prospect.
He's got Brandon Marshall type size and hands. Needs work on his route running but can be a big time red zone threat. Smith is more polished as a route runner but has average speed and size. Both should be playing on Sunday for a while.
Big receivers don't need to be great route runners to be effective.
In college maybe, that won't work too long in the pro's. You think AJ or Julio run good routes?
Not really. They get open because they are big and fast and know how to use their hands and frames to get open. That's more important for big receivers than being crisp route runners.
