A straight-line speed guy like Quez Watkins or throwing a dart at Van Jefferson might not be bad either as a #4/5 type if they are cheap.

I really like quez. He’s really fast and hasn’t had a ton of opportunities.

I never seem to learn my lesson with linear speed though, for whatever reason.

Acceleration, enough agility to create crisp route breaks, and hands... that seems to always be a winning combination. I'll be damned if I don't lose sight of it constantly though. Precisely the reason I think Emeka Egbuka is going to be an absolute stud but can he get within our range to move up...

Tank Dell out there proving the exception to the rule

Seems like every year I find a small, fast, twitchy, small-school guy and hope he'll be the next Tyreek but never really pans out.

Good for Tank!

Tank wasn't ever really overly twitchy and juking everyone out of their shoes in college. Small will good speed though, sure. The Kadarius Toney and Wan'Dale Robinson types and so forth of recent drafts are more what I'm looking at.

I don't mind small, but Dell was exceptionally thin, which usually isn't great either. That said, that type does a little better these days now that safeties can't remove their torso from their legs.

I am intrigued by the Egbuka fall. That would be a great fit for KC and it’s hard to believe he’d be in position for the Chiefs to take.

I jealously want a Nabers or Marvin Harrison. W

Same here! I noticed he fell a bit due to an ankle injury.

Also noticing Nabers sliding on this list a bit.

[Couch-Potato]

Teicher's comments from ESPN:

Yes, they may decide they need to invest at the position again this offseason. Names like Tee Higgins, Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley and Michael Pittman Jr. could be available, but the Chiefs will also have cap decisions on some of their own free agents at other positions.

Egbuka is about the same. Franklin is the suprise drop for me.

Some great prospects. Wonder which one Conner Embree will _uck up with his brilliant coaching knowledge ?

[Couch-Potato]

Worth noting these are two different analysts rankings

[Couch-Potato]

The WRs this year are tall, and the RBs are small.

How about Jerry Rice's son, Brenden Rice?

USC, 6'3, 210 LBS, 4.38 40-YRD, 791 YRDS, 12 TDS, 17.6 AVG

Thats all.
