And I like Mooney a BUNCH as a complementary Z type.

Anyone wanting a good look at Franklin, Odunze, Polk, and McMillian can check them all out at once during the UW/Oregon game this Friday. Should be fun.

Hard to say, but that's where Spotrac has Marqise Brown slotted. I'd think Mooney is more in the 8-10 range considering he has been so non-productive the past 2 years.

That is because his QB is Jayden Daniels a Heisman candidate

When you have the best and highest paid QB in history, you have to cut corners in other places. It's just math.

[RunKC]

Harrison Jr, Nabers, Odunze and Coleman will be in their draft cities doing a rookie press conference into by the time we're on the clock.

I do like the 2nd wave of WR's quite a bit

To pick 32 maybe. But there are a ton of tackles, edges, and corners with first round grades. And with this group it’s highly doubtful this is the consensus once the combine happens. I think Nabers has solidified the second spot. But after that who knows

[FD]

Give me Worthy.

[DJ's left nut]

My boy McMillan looked great against Oregon.

Still think he's a perfect complement to Rice.

He's so good in the slot, and Polk and Odunze require so much attention he's always got a favorable matchup.

You think McMillan has the speed/twitch to make it in the NFL? My only hesitation on him is the physical profile looks a little similar to Skyy Moore...

[DJ's left nut]

I don't see Moore at all. Hyatt? Maybe.

Nah - McMillan is faster, bigger, more polished and more fluid. I don't think he's going to be confined to a slot role.

[JPH83]

We need 3 new WRs, as close to as a sure-thing as we can afford in FA and 2 in the draft. I don't care how long it takes rookies to come good in the system.

Where do you see McMillan being taken DJ? I like him but not that early.

The good/bad is we will probably be picking higher than we ever have in the Mahomes era. The bad is we will probably still need to move up a little.

I'm hopeful he can be had in the mid-2nd via trade-up again. Then again, Hyatt fell into the early 3rd.

WR class is deep in both the 1st and 2nd tiers. I don't think we are likely to get into reasonable trade-up range for the 1st tier so we may be better served to either A) Trade down with our first and take someone at the top of the 2nd tier of WRs in the early/mid 2nd. Or B) Stay put in the 2nd and look for someone mid/back of the 2nd tier.

The only way waiting until the 2nd to get a WR next year works out is if they also invest in a quality WR in FA. Otherwise you're hopeful that Rice takes a huge leap in year 2 and the 2nd rd pick starts to perform on a limited route tree by the mid-point of the season like Rice, which is certainly not a given. If you want a talent who is likely ready to hit the ground running it's probably going to have to be someone taken in the 15-20 range of the first round at the latest. If that requires a trade up then so be it, we have future draft picks or maybe extra pick(s) from a Chris Jones trade. They have to figure it out.
