I was just thinking this guy may be what Conley was supposed to be. I was big on Conley when we drafted him, but he just never really had the burst i had hoped for.

Yup, 2 of his best games.

He was so good down the stretch and just looks like an NFL WR on tape.

I think he’s your starting X by the end of the year or 2022 at the latest.

The Jon Baldwin that was Promised

This name still irks me.

Yeah I get I'm running the risk of that post reading like a troll but that wasn't the intent.

I didnt take it that way. He was probably a decent fella but im glad Thomas Jones got one in on him!

I do think he looks slow in those clips but I'm also used to Tyreek so

Maybe I'm crazy but, Powell in the 5th over Marshall in the 2nd is fine by me.

Marshall has 3 inches more and 3 years less than Powell, but he also had a foot injury. They had very similar 2020 campaigns, too.

Powell had 5 more catches and 100 more yards, and Marshall had 3 more touchdowns. But as you can see in the videos above, there were a few plays where Powell was tackled inside the 10 & 5 yard lines.

Marshall was never my love anyway, I had to the hots for Rashod Bateman and welp this always happens.

A year ago I thought Davanta Smith would fall to us haha

The next Anquan Bolden

This kid is a does his damage within 15 yards. He can really cut and runs some beautiful routes. Very good after the catch. He's very similar to Sammy but not quite as explosive or fast.

He's gonna be one helluva zone buster. I'll take Bolton and Powell over Marshall and whoever else would have been there. I don't believe Bolton would have been there with our last second round pick.

The Ringer has Watkins as his comp.

“ The Chiefs’ passing offense has run heavily through the team’s top two receiving targets in Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill over the past couple of years, leaving an assortment of role-playing pass catchers rotating in as Patrick Mahomes’s tertiary option. But Sammy Watkins is now in Baltimore, and the likes of Mecole Hardman, Byron Pringle, and Demarcus Robinson have all failed to show much consistency or dependability in the team’s passing game. That could create an opportunity for the team’s fifth-round pick, Powell.

The four-star recruit was a late bloomer at Clemson, playing a reserve role his first four years there before breaking out as a redshirt senior, grabbing 53 catches for 882 yards and seven touchdowns in 2020. My pre-draft pro comparison for Powell was, interestingly enough, Sammy Watkins; he’s big, physical at the catch point, can stretch a defense deep, and offers some big-play potential―so when the Chiefs grabbed him as a Watkins replacement, it did pique my interest. He’ll have to really impress coaches in the preseason to leapfrog Hardman, Pringle, Robinson, and a handful of others, but if he can show consistency as a route runner and the ability to win on the outside when given the chance, he could earn a role as the team’s no. 3 receiving option sooner rather than later.

He’s not overly fast, but with his route running, size/strength, and body control, he has enough speed to win deep as well. Pretty sure he was one of, if not the best, in CFB last year at 40+ yard plays.

.. if Powell had transferred because of playing time: would that have been seen as a knock on his character?

Why did He get drafted so low?
