I really need to look at some clips of Walker vs. Legette. That's gonna be the decision we have to make, IMO. I don't think the rest are realistic; we're not getting the top 3 guys (they'll go top 20) and I think it's likely that Thomas goes around 25.
So when we get up I think there's a solid chance that Walker and Legette are on the board. Both of them have production issues - Walker's being his platform year and Legette being every year PRIOR to the platform year. Both have moments of outstanding tape. Both are likely to have really good measurables.
I think you're looking at a real scouting question on both of those guys. And I think I'd be pretty happy with either of them going to KC in the 1st because it tells me that our scouts have reviewed them pretty closely and signed off on them. And both have traits that appear to present 1,000 yard receiver upside.

I'm leaning towards Franklin-Legette-Mitchell as my preference right now. All 3 are guys I would be excited to add/see in this offense.
If Legette is a legit 6-2/225 or bigger and runs a 4.3, that's an awful lot of upside to swing on. His route work and movement don't appear to be issues, and he has huge, strong hands. Lot to like there. And I know people keep saying "Next DK Metcalf" but I think you have said he's more like AJ Brown to you, and I buy that. But maybe it's "AJ Brown with just a touch more speed."
Neither Brown nor Metcalf were impressively productive at Ole Miss...
My only concern with Franklin is his durability/ability to play at his current weight.
