CUM!!!1!

I called this earlier today

Cornell JAG

This. This I’m happy with.

Our cheap Demarcus replacement.

Not bad at this point.

WOOOOOO!!!!!

I watched this kid after reading your post. Really like him a lot.

Veach lighting a blow torch to end this draft LMAO

Yes you did! Good job my dude!

RAS & SPARQ!

Love this ****ing pick!

His tape looks really good for someone drafted this late.

He'll compete with D-Rob for sure.

Kinda like fenton. He didn't get a lot of reps at football power house Clemson. Very interesting.

I like this too, anything to cut bait away from functionally reeruned Robinson

"Buried on Clemson depth chart until the 2020 season, Powell took advantage of his opportunity as a 5th year senior. A competitive receiver who proved capable of making plays in catch and run situations and as a contested catch weapon downfield. He is tough to bring down on quick screens, with a stout running back build and the balance to run through tackles. While he's not particularly long, he can win even without creating separation. He also shows tremendous feel as a route runner, consistently beating Ohio States Shaun Wade in the college football playoff semifinals"

Nothing not to like there, sounds a lot like Sammy Watkins

I worry about his speed but everything else seems fine

Good call. Why did he last so long?

REALLY liking this draft so far.

FYP

Because he was a 5th year senior who is almost 24 years old.

He didn't break out until late in his college career, so a small sample size. But he's trending up instead of down, which I loved.

Why does this Twitter account have false info? He ran a 4.47 at his pro day. That’s way better than the reported 4.53

Totally cool with this. Don't know shit about the guy but that scouting report is good enough to keep me interested.

Sounds like Sammy Watkins runs like Marc Boerighter

The Thornhill or Kelce of Receivers.

I love this pick!

That's very good news thank you

This kid runs 4.47. D-Rob 4.59. Hmm...

Another Senior Bowl kid. That trend continues.

Well he passed the "getting off the bus" test

Dude literally came watching that.

Hopefully bloodies anus' and rapes like Snead's impact

Just murdered him, wow LMAO

Dude made a guy jizz himself with a kid in the room

Makes a ton of sense.

Yep it'll help Mahomes during endzone 50/50 throws

ESPN said he had the fastest GPS speeds of any WR at the senior bowl. Football speed baby, I like it.

staylor26?

Watching his tape you see him switch off the power after he's won the initial battle and gone through the first 4 gears.
He can be trained to get into 5th and keep cruising at that speed, he'll finish off a bunch of runs an extra 10 yards down the field.

Not bad.:clap:

How does he feel about the idea of running backwards while swinging around the ball wildly with one hand?

I like how we are drafting receiving options that can run routes in Powell and Gray.

Just give him Robinson’s job today. He’s already way better

The kid looks like a stud- another great prospect to put in the system.

At first I liked this pick. Now I love it. They’re going to try new things at WR, just like they did with the o-line.

This team just doesn’t sit still. I love it.

Mahomes doesn't like it when the WR isn't where they are supposed to be.

What Pat wants, Pat gets.

I hope he doesn’t mean on the trainer’s table.

looks like a slower Metcalf

Yep, you always gotta push the boundaries and keep innovating

This dudes built like a tank, gonna be a helluva RAC guy

Mahomes will make him a STAR!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO

He's a gigantic 210, gonna put the hurt on some DB's no doubt

Discount AJ Brown?

Pretty much.

I like Lance Zierlein’s comparison for him.

James Jones.

As a 5th rounder?

I'll take it

Most definitely.

Doesn't jump out at me.

We will see.

Rod Smith.

He's got biceps that sort of remind you of Terrell Owens

Poses the question, why didn't he get taken before it got this far in the draft?

:hmmm:

This guy is going to have some serious baby mamas around KC.

For those worried about him being 23...Adam Thelan was 23 as a udfa and even got waived at one point by the viks before making his debut age 24 the next season. Also Calvin Ridley was 23 when he made his debut for the Falcons aswell. This guy should have a massive chip on his shoulder after what he's been through at Clemson and hopefully it fuels him to be a star in this league. He's certainly got the tools to do it.

Sterling Sharpe

Seems like this is the type of WR the Chiefs were trying to add this offseason going back to the attempted JuJu signing.

He’s 24. I think that’s why he slid

Old man Powell

Another guy who is probably going to kick a veteran off the squad.
