2025 Wide Receivers

[smithandrew051]

Let’s not draft morons this time.

Who do you like?

"Bond is a consensus top 10 WR in this year's draft..."

Well not anymore, laddies.

Tough draft season for Isaiah.

Fast, physical enough, good route runner, by all accounts a willing blocker/teammate.

May not work out, in which case we'd be looking at someone like maybe Ayomanor or Kyle Williams. Lane could be in that group as well in the back of the 3rd or into the 4th. Maybe Jordan Watkins in the 7th round or De'Corian Clark.

But I think they want someone out there that can be physical and also be athletic enough to do the 'run-offs' that they like doing with someone like Watson or Watkins before him. They don't always use those receivers purely as pass-catchers and right now I think their 'big 3' are all guys that are somewhat lacking in those sort of gritty areas that they like to have someone occupy.

I'm not sure Lane does that. He feels more like a Skyy Moore replacement than a Justin Watson one. Remigio already gives us the Skyy Moore replacement. I don't see anybody on the roster who they'll want doing what Watson did.

I'm starting to get a bit of a crush on Royals, though. Be awfully happy if we get him but I also don't think we'll see a ton of him this season. He's still pretty green.

Royals reminds me of Khalil Shakir who was 3rd in the NFL in YAC last year. I love his fit here.

He’s still green but I think we could work him in early if needed. Love his size, explosion, hands and downfield speed. He’d be awesome here.

We need bigger athletic WR’s. Last year really exposed that flaw with Rashee out.

If this kid is there at 63 I’m taking him no question.

The more I watch Jaylin Lane the more I love him. He’s an ideal fit for us.

He’s 190 lbs so considerably heavier than Worthy and Hollywood, top athlete in nearly every testing category athletically.

Ran a shit ton of Andy Reid concepts in college. Also a very good returner. Would be an excellent value in rd 4 IMO. Would be WR5 but but would replace Steel on kickoff return duty

In a perfect world I think he ends up a bit redundant.

I think you have Worthy to do everything that he does and Remigio can do most of the gadget stuff as well.

If you have Brown and Rice along with Worthy I just don't see a near term value. And if/when Brown leaves, I don't see Worthy and Lane as being terribly complementary unless you end up using Rice as an X, Worthy as a Z and Lane as a Y, but I think you want your Y being a little more versatile than Lane is.

If I had a choice between Lane and Williams, I'm taking Williams without a moment's hesitation.

Now if we come up in the 4th, haven't taken a WR and the choice is Lane or Pat Bryant....I'm taking Lane. But that feels a little unlikely. If that happens you probably have someone like Horton or Dike on the board and I think they're just a little more versatile than Lane.

A wr out of TX with off field issues? Veach will sprint to the podium.

I was checking Dont’e out and saw this. He claimed 24 mph.

Top 10 fastest mph ever, nobody over 23 mph

Dont’e Thornton Jr is of particular interest in the thread: 6-5, 205, 4.3 speed, 25.4 ypa, x6 50+ yard plays (#1 in the nation), he excels at deep targets almost exclusively… would be an interesting weapon in KC.

Edit: I think he might be a better get for us than Savion Williams, who’s a contested catch guy and HB with 11%+ drop rate, will go in the middle rounds whereas Thornton will go late.
