Harrison
Nabers
Odunze
Thomas, Jr
Mitchell
Worthy
McConkey
Legette

That’s 8. Feels like 6 are a lock. But could get to 8 easily. https://t.co/cSeK9OHvWq

Coleman was once considered a top 15 pick, also left out on this list was Franklin. He might be right with his predictions.

Franklin should be on that list instead of Legette IMO.

Teams will love Legette's tape and traits, imo. There is a good why behind the "one-year" wonder status. I expect he will go early second. Happy to be wrong and watch the Chiefs scoop him in the back half of the second if they don't.

Apparently Puca only ran .05 faster than Coleman, but Keon had a better 10-yard split.

Does Keon Coleman have a chance to slide to us?

I think he or Kinsley have a really good chance to be the pick at 32 if we don’t move up or down too much.

I don't think Coleman will go in the first now, but who knows if some team was really on him early and likes him.

I would be disappointed if we took him at 32, especially if there were good tackles still on the board. Also would rather have Worthy/Mitchell/Franklin/McConkey than Coleman if they are there.

Only problem with that is Coleman has some star potential, might just be the guy that breaks out from this class.

I like Coleman.

But the issue is I don't think he is as pro ready for his eventual role.

You hope he develops into a possession #1 WR. But there is a bit of risk here and you might have to wait a bit.


Would still prefer Coleman to Franklin who might be more ready but has less upside. Franklin is as exciting to me as a glass of skim milk.

I think there's more than a good chance he's there for us. I kind of have Carolina at 33 as a good fit for him. I question if he's a best fit in this particular offense. We move our guys around a lot and exchange their roles as well. If we didn't do that, I'd probably be higher on guys like him and Mitchell. I just don't see them as particularly great fits here. That doesn't mean they won't be good or even great WRs though. Both could end up spectacular.

We moved Skyy Moore around a lot but that wasn't so great.

I agree he's got room to grow at his age. I think kelce's our possession guy and would prefer a playmaking threat probably.

We still think McConkey might fall to us?

Been watching his pro day tape and a couple highlight reels; this guy is going to be an immediate producer as an outside possession receiver. Great route runner, seems to already have a solid grasp of how to find the soft spots in zone and his route-running/footwork/craftiness make him a really good man-beater. Plus he's twitchy as hell. Should put up solid YAC numbers.

Watching him, he reminds a lot of Adam Thielen.

McConkey could be a #1 WR in a McVay offense in a Amen-Ra role.

I would take him and not think twice.

Yah, McVay and Shannahan almost definitely would turn this guy into the next Puca Nacua, production-wise. Dude is basically fully formed already.

A singular "failure" does not change the type of player Reid employs at the position. I can't stress that enough.

And I wouldn't even call Moore a failure because he's been every bit as productive as a guy like Demarcus Robinson was. Moore simply wasn't worth his draft position and then that is further compounded by the "what if" crowd. There are a bunch of what-if situations in every draft. The thing is, when Demarcus Robinson was sucking shit as a starter, he was given more of a pass because we had Tyreek opposite him and he was a 4th round pick.

If we were to swap Chenal and Moore's draft positions in the 2022 draft, would people be as negative about Moore as they are? I sincerely doubt it.
