I have a request: does anyone have access to pffs analytics on the Texas receivers? I am curious about depth of target and success rates for first downs at various depths for Worthy and Mitchell. I kinda think they used Worthy how we use Rice the vast majority of the time, which is to say swings and screens to get the ball to him quickly, where Mitchell made his success through route craft down field. I am looking for some data to test that theory.
|
I think it would be amazing to get Brenden Rice, with our last pick in 2nd, and Luke McCaffrey with last pick in 3rd.
What are thoughts on these two? |

I'm not taking Rice in the 2nd or McCaffrey in the 3rd. |

Well, we can agree on one part of your statement: Texas QBs are inaccurate. Ewers feet are a mess. I just saw the every snap on Worthy - Worthy certainly has some capability to take the top off the defense - look at him smoke McKinstry during the Alabama game - but still, 75% of his looks are targets at or near the LOS. AD Mitchell won that game for Texas by abusing Arnold - even if you look at his production, it is understated because Arnold held him from sure TDs at least twice. Both of these kids are gonna be fantastic in the NFL. I do think someone needs to chain Worthy to a Juggs machine tho. |
Quote:
I'd worry if there wasn't anything down field to look at, but there is. I don't really have a dog in the fight, I like a bunch of these kids. Just depends on what the team is looking for. |
My wish list for a receiver, in order, if we choose to go that route in the first round -
A) Troy Franklin - I think Franklin is a superior MVS in nearly every metric and exactly what we need opposite of Rice. Just feels tailor made to be in this offense. B) Adonai Mitchell - Mitchell intrigues me. Not the burner Franklin is, and I'm not sure he's the type of guy Reid/Viotch are looking for, but his hands and route running ability can't be discounted. Would love to know his splits. 3) Xavier Worthy - his speed and game breaking ability are exactly what Reid seems drawn to. He's just so tiny, it gives me pause. *EDIT - he's taller than I thought he was, but still on the slim side. BONUS - Keon Coleman - he'd be strong in this offense alongside Kelce and Rice (but you can say that about a number of young receivers in the draft this year). |

Currently, my top targets for rounds 1 & 2 are... Thomas Jr Franklin Coleman Worthy Legette Burton Walker Corley I think we walk away with ONE of these names. |
Walker could be an MVS replacement and might be available at 64. What’s the deal with Walker? Does he questionable hands? He can fly.

I'd love to see him at 64. I ultimately think there will be 2-4 guys there that I really like. So I'm fine going any direction at all in the 1st and will be fairly content with getting our WR in the 2nd. I'd be holding my breath for those last 3-4 picks though because I do think it could get spooky in a hurry at the back of the 2nd. |

I'm starting to wonder if Worthy will even be there at 32...I can see someone taking him a lot higher than a lot of people think.

Could this be the best draft in NFL history in terms of pre draft hype and the talent of prospects? Just seems like we are gonna have an absolute stud at WR or LT fall to us.

Who is the best WR you can imagine being available at #64?

In theory: Leggette(please God!) Reality: Roman Wilson(not too shabby) |
I think it's gonna be pretty risky waiting until 64. There's going to be a run at some point and I can absolutely see most of the Wilson and Pearsall types off the board before we pick.

If you look at what potato did below, he’s got 18 in the first three rounds, which would be the most taken in the last 5 years of the draft. I don’t see any reason to take a wr with the 1st pick now. Somebody has to fall to the third round. He’s got 12 In The first two rounds and that’s a lot historically, so it’s very possible that only 10 WRs get taken in the first two rounds. There’s gonna be value with taking a wr in the 2nd and third rounds. I even like rice and McMillan in the 4th and wouldn’t be upset with either of those guys in the 4th.

Adding M Brown really set us up for success this year! He and Rice are really nice 2a and 2b guys next to Kelce, but they might be all pretty much even at this point in their careers. I still want weapons in the draft though, but now I'd probably be happy waiting a round or two. If we don't move up for Thomas Jr I think I like our traditional trade up in the 2nd, currently.
1st Thomas Jr Worthy 2nd Coleman Franklin Legette McConkey Burton Walker 3rd Polk Cowing Corley J Baker 4th Rice Jr Washington |
Love how Veach fills every hole before the draft!
I'd bet D Smith is signed if we move Sneed. |

What would it take for the Chiefs to move up from 32 to 27 with the Texans to get Brian Thomas Jr.? Hopefully screwing the Bills again! :thumb:

I don't think the Hollywood Brown signing will change any of the plans KC had. If there is a WR that Veach and Reid really like that is within trading distance or drops to 32, then Brown isn't stopping them from going after that guy. Brown is on a 1 year deal and typically first year WRs don't do a whole lot under Reid, so whoever the rookie may be would naturally slide into the 2nd WR spot and take over for Brown.

Went on a BTj binge today. Really think he’s the bust of the group. Tools are there but a lot missing. Generally looks awkward at times. Got owned by Alabama.
I’d put Mitchell and worthy above him in pecking order.By a good margin. |

I don’t think he’d be a bust if he had Mahomes and the offense we have around him, because it’s similar to the level of relative eliteness he had at LSu. But all in all, Worthy and Mitchell could actually be safer picks, especially for year 1. |

Okay so that 90% contested catch rate graphic made me check out Cornelius Johnson from Michigan. Hadn't heard much about him.
His routes look super chunky and he lumbers around the field almost like a TE would if he were split wide. But then he's actually got a little sneaky speed to him, like you wouldn't expect him to be as fast as he is. Ultimately I don't think he's a KC WR. Routes aren't clean enough. I know DJLN hates RAS, but I was surprised to see his score. Worth noting the agility is missing, which is the biggest question mark after watching him on the field. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Cornelius Johnson is a WR prospect in the 2024 draft class.
