Nice release package from what he showed at the SB, and can be very physical with DBs when necessary. Runs pretty nice routes, very smooth for a bigger WR.

He also has experienced working to get open with a QB who leaves the pocket.

Mitchell might have jumped Franklin for the 6th spot. I think McConkey locked in as the 8th.
1. Harrison Jr
2. Nabers
3. Odunze
4. Worthy
5. Thomas Jr
6. Mitchell
7. Franklin
8. McConkey
9. Corley ??
10. Pearsall ??

Crow talk to me about Ricky Ticky Pearsall- I'm beating the drum HAAAAARRD for him now that he tested way more athletically than I thought. What isn't to like about him?

What a year for WR's though, this has got to be the best class in the last decade.

Also side note- not a great day for Franklin. Obviously 4.41 is fine deep speed but I thought the WR gauntlet he didn't look great. Twitter video going around of Coleman of all guys completing the gauntlet at a higher MPH and didn't fade away from the straight line, Franklin faded every pass he caught.

Obviously not the end of the world but I like Pearsall over Franklin.

I think some are down on him due to his age.

I love Pearsall.

Wouldn't think he makes it to 64 now, but somebody has to. The WR group is just too stacked.

Meant to upvote, sorry!

It probably isn't isn't good idea, but if we didn't get a WR in FA and opted for 2 in rounds 1 and 2...I think I'd be cool work that. There's so much talent it just feels a huge waste not to take advantage.

Even if they don't get a Hollywood or Mooney it would be dumb for KC not to add value FA WR's.

Guys like

Darius Slayton
Noah Brown
Devin Duvernay

all better than anyone at WR other than Rice last year and could be as cheap as 5 million a year.

Probably, I just think there's a ton if guys who could end up better and cheaper. But they won't take the risk I'd imagine.

It depends who they draft.

Franklin and Worthy project as Vertical 2 Decoys.

Of course Worthy could be a Nagy gadget slot and break after catching a few passes over the middle.

I would like us to draft a #1 WR because we don't seem interested in ever paying for one in FA.

[wannaGOback]

Forget EVERYTHING I said before.

There is only one clear move here.

You trade sneed to move up and grab Adonai Mitchell at all costs.

If we can somehow get a 1st for sneed, you draft Mitchell and Worthy.

Both in the first round

4 years of a ridiculously talented receiving corp on the cheap.

We already knew he had speed. The question about his frame and struggling at times with press coverage wasn't answered today in his underwear

Just don't have the money for FA. That's why like I said I wouldn't be too bummed if we double dipped and gave ourselves the best chance of hitting on a cheap elite talent.

At this point the nightmare sceanrio is Chargers get Nabers, Bengals get Mitchell, Bills get Thomas and someone like the Texans get Franklin and Baltimore gets Worthy.

That would be...sub-optimal. Because as much as I like Wilson, Pearsall etc I think they represent a drop-off

[RunKC]

We see cover 2 99% of the time FYI. Also played outside 72% of the time. Lazy narrative that he’s a slot receiver.

A lot of people want a deep threat to "take the top off defenses" and I get it. Personally, all I care about is generating explosive plays, and there are a lot of ways to do it. This is one.

In the NFL you don't see a ton of just Go routes actually hit. Especially with defenses… https://t.co/SNix4GVxqL
