It may take him a while to develop WR skills. Simon didn't really blossom...
...until his senior year. Andrada will have his own learning curve and could certainly develop quicker than Simon did. I think Fesi did a really nice job working with a wide range of WR's who were either players moving to WR from other positions, PWO's, or really athletic guys who needed to button down and refine their skills.

During this past 4 yrs several of the players Fesi had to work with were kind of bouncing around from one position to another with coaches trying to figure out their best fit (Akile Davis, Beau Tanner, Trey Dye, etc) as well as teaching guys like Simon, Pau'u, etc to learn a new position.

I think now he has a stable group of WR's that are all his and we'll see the WR group over the next several years be a strength of the program as players like Pau'u, Milne and Romney benefit from their time, development and experience and step us as leaders (like Shumway, Simon and Hifo did last year), and talented new guys like Hill, Epps, Jackson, Andrada, Davis, Chase Roberts, etc fill the depth chart.

We're in a good place moving forward and combine that with nice young talent and depth at the TE position, at QB and at OL. Maybe the only position group that needs work and is lagging behind is the RB group but even there we're starting to make progress (it may be that coaches mine the transfer portal for experience and depth until recruiting catches up fully). I think our offense will be consistently strong for several years like it was to begin Bronco's era.
