That is why Colston doesn't run up/fly/fade/go/corner/post routes.

If you ask me, there are number of speedsters around who can run those type of routes and create separation to the DBs, but the guys that run the intermediate routes like ins/outs/hooks/slants as well as Colston and commit their bodies in making those tough catches time after time - those guys are more rare and, therefore, very valuable.

But, I'm not saying that Meachem isn't a good receiver - only that he is more easily replaced than Colston.
