*This entire class is tall WTF?

What's up with this guy Johnny Wilson!? Has any NFL skill player ever been successful at 6-7!?

At first glance he's a lot taller than Drake London or A.T. Perry, who were drafted in recent years, and is far more complete of a WR than Perry who no one's heard from since the draft. Dude's fast too!? WTF?

Gotta be a few CP members that watch MU football, what's the deal with this kid Luther Burden III? 5-11, 208, he's leading the NCAA in Rec Yards through 6 games with near 800 yards, he's got pretty consistent game logs producing 98+ yards in all of his games.

I guess he's not eligible until 2025.

Burden will be a 1st rounder. He's a stud all around. Didn't do much last year but didn't have a lot of QB help either and he was new to the system and college ball. He's been lights out this year. Big YAC guy and not afraid of contact.

For me this 2024 receiver class as a whole has a much greater chance to produce multiple #1 WR's at the NFL level due to the talent and size of the top prospects. I think in a couple years we'll look back at the 2023 class and be underwhelmed- so many of the top WR prospects of last year were undersized, no real blue chip prospects. Obviously you have some great talents like Marvin Harrison Jr available in 2024 but I believe this class will produce some great talents in the 2nd round also- just a ton of size and speed available in 2024. Chiefs should be prepared to spend another top pick on a WR.

While not a traditional receiver, I’ve really enjoyed watching Malachi Corley. The guy is tough to bring down.

Didn't Veach mention last year that there's a can't miss skillplayer they want to pair with Patrick in this upcoming draft?

Or was that just a CP rumor?

I really like Rome Odunze. Got some size and some wheels.

Luther Burden is probably the best WR in college right now. Hell he might be the best player in college right now. He's fast as **** and can track and high point the ball like a mother****er. He will be a top 10 guy in 2025, so no chance KC gets him. I'd trade my left nut for the kid. He's legit as ****.

Feels like next year's draft has a lot of WRs with size and speed.

Damn! That's high praise considering Marvin Harrison's boy is getting so much attention. Very interesting.

lol I watch near 0 college football.

Don't kid yourself bud, there's a reason Harrison Jr gets so much attention. Harrison is a bigger version of his dad. He is the best WR in college football. For all the good WRs at OSU lately, he's probably the most complete package.

I'm not really trying to take anything away from Burden, he's talented, but his ability to win a route with technique and win against zone or man in the intermediate area is significantly in Harrison's favor. Manufactured yardage due to speed is one way to get it done, and it'll always get it done, but if you want a Chase or a Jefferson that can always win then it's Harrison.

That said, we have absolutely zero shot at Harrison so I'll go pout in my corner now.

Out of all those I have to say I would lean Legette over Coleman. Worthy's size could be an issue. Same with Wilson, just the opposite side of the size spectrum as I could see transitioning into a TE.

That was my guy a year back, my only thought is that we may now need speed more than size

6'1" and 163 lbs? Gangly bastard lol
