He's slender, he wins with speed, he's smooth, and he can go up and get it. Those 2 guys went at 12 and 10 respectively. There's a real solid chance that Franklin is the 4th WR off the board and goes a lot higher than we think.

I am on record saying that I wanted Watson in the 2nd round, and I felt like we should have moved up a few spots to get him. I loved the size and speed combo.
Troy Franklin is so much better than Watson. By like a lot. Paired with Mahomes, Troy Franklin would be a top 5 receiver in this league by the end of his rookie deal.
