Most think McKonkey can play outside? I don't see why he couldn't but I know that's been a topic of discussion.

That's what I came away thinking a few weeks ago but I know there was some discourse here that he's just a juiced up Skyy Moore. But a juiced up Skyy Moore wouldn't be a Skyy Moore at all would it?

His athletic profile is much closer to guys like Olave and Wilson, while his production was really good (when healthy) in the SEC in a run first offense. Totally different prospect than Skyy in that aspect. |

Yea, Ladd is objectively just a much better prospect, and that's coming from somebody who liked Skyy before we drafted him.

If you wanted to argue in his favor, he's not physically all that dissimilar from Jordan Addison.
But man, you have to worry about the production or lack thereof when you have Dominic Lovett out there putting up better numbers. And I understand that they don't throw the ball a ton and UGA can suppress WR production a bit. There's a reason that Burton and Mitchell both left. But at a point, if you have a 'dude' you get him the ball and the production will follow. It's back to the Christian Watson discussion from a couple years back. More often than not when you start arguing about what a guy COULD have done, you're going to roll snake-eyes. And Watson's been passed on the depth chart by Jayden Reed - a guy who put up a 1,000 yard season in college. He produced. And then as a rookie 2nd rounder was better than Watson. I get awfully wary about that sort of thing in the 1st round.

I don't hate McConkey. I just like others better. Like I said, he reminds me a lot of FAU in that regard. I didn't have much negative to say about Felix, just not a lot of positives. And I was confident other guys would be better players though I thought FAU could develop into a solid one in his own right. I'm not here to bury him, nor am I here to praise him. I just think we're ignoring some things here - mostly the depth of the class and the fact that I don't think he's a better prospect than probably 3-4 guys likely to be there at 64.

The comparison you're making here with FAU for you is funny, because like FAU, I will maintain that it's very unlikely that he's the top player on my board at 32.
Even in the "call your shot" thread where I predicted we'd take FAU, I said he likely wouldn't be the top player on my board. But just like with FAU, I think there's a solid chance that McConkey's the top player on the Chiefs board at 32. I'm not as confident (don't think McConkey will be my pick this year for that thread), but very similar in that aspect. |

Though I think you're higher on McConkey within his position group than I am and probably higher on him within his group than you were on FAU within his. If we were married to DE last year, my memory was you'd have still gone with a different player. If we're married to WR in this draft, I think there's a better chance that he's your top WR on the board. He probably wouldn't be on mine (definitely wouldn't be, in fact, because Walker isn't going in 1 and I would rather have Walker than McConkey).

FAU was my top EDGE available, but he and Hall/Ojulari/White were all in that same tier for me. With McConkey, he'll likely be in that same top tier of remaining WRs, but I think it's unlikely that he's my top WR available. I'd have Worthy and probably Franklin too ahead of him for example. |

Let’s do a fun experiment. Say the Chiefs get their guy at LT in the first rd and the following WR’s are off the board by pick 55:
MHJ Nabers Odunze BTJ Mitchell Worthy McConkey Franklin Leggette Polk Pearsall What’s your board look like? For me I’m thinking Jalen McMillan, Roman Wilson and Javon Baker are my top options
