Tell me what you like about him. I'm not sold on it, but if it's R5 territory I could maybe be persuaded. I think at that point I'd just pivot to other positions

I'm talking day 3.

Yeah I realise, I'm still interested in your thoughts on pros and cons. He looks like he's got great hands but I'm not sure what else. Just curious what others are seeing

Just looked like a good possession guy at Senior Bowl week to me. Good size, strong hands, and I honestly just believe he'll have the work ethic to earn a WR 4/5 role on a rookie deal.

I agree that Franklin will probably time well.

But it does not translate to football speed because he is not sudden or explosive, takes multiple steps to get to full speed and then is a long strider.

He's going to be good but is incredibly meh for a supposed 1st round pick.

The reason why I said I wouldn't take him in the 4th round is just as much to do with how we have operated with our early round busts under Andy Reid. When it becomes obvious in year 2 that they are JAGs we hold onto them for the remainder of their rookie contract and they are just taking roster spots on the basis that whilst they might be shite, they're cheap. The only 1-3 rounder that we cut after year 2 recently was Breeland Speaks and that clearly wasn't just for footballing reasons. If this McConkey dude falls to us I'm just convinced he's going to be another Skyy Moore like dud. I like a lot of the other guys on the draft board and fingers crossed we pick one (or two!) of them.

What about Roman Wilson?

Holy shit. If his wiki is accurate he's 6'2" 198 lbs??? Wtf. I never thought that guy would be bigger than his brother. Goddamn.

I thought he was a typical 5'10" 185 lbs WR. I'll be very interested to see how he does next week

This is such a weird take. I've never heard anybody say this about Franklin, even those that aren't as high on him.

I have no idea what you're watching if you believe his speed doesn't translate on the field.

He's 6'3. He's not gonna look like a 6'0 foot guy moving.

I'm a bigger fan of Worthy, but I think Roman Wilson in round 2 is what I'm gonna settle on.

Exactly. 4.3 speed at 6'3" might not look as fast on the field, but that doesn't change how fast he's actually running.

I don't think I've heard a single person question whether his speed translates.

I'd imagine he could step in and be what MVS is pretty quickly, which is pretty valuable.

I don't know what his ultimate upside is but he can definitely fit.

I think his upside is low end WR1 high end WR2.

He would compliment Rice and Kelce perfectly. As would Worthy.

Eh, I'd say if he developed into a nice #2, you're doin pretty well.
