I really like Troy Franklin out of Oregon. A 6’2” 190 with 4.3 speed. He runs great routes too

Honestly, if we're picking at the end of each round again, he may not make it to us in the 3rd rd.

Up to #9 from this source

3. Rome Odunze, Washington
4. Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
5. Troy Franklin, Oregon
6. Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky
7. Jalen McMillan, Washington
8. Tory Horton, Colorado State
9. Keon Coleman, Florida State
10. Xavier Worthy, Texas

And a bonus "don't sleep on this guy"... Will Sheppard, Vanderbilt.

Not much to dissect. Besides dissecting at this point is really is just regurgitating what every tom dick and harry scout says. I like the top 2. I'm a big Nabers fan. I like you added Corley. I'm partial to Polk over McMillan though.

Jermaine Burton and Ali Jennings III is moving up the board for me. Tyler Harrell's speed is intriguing.

ESPN:

"If you're a team that needs wide receiver help, you're in luck. The strength of the 2024 wideout class was on full display Saturday. It isn't just Harrison, too. Florida State's Coleman and Washington's Odunze showed why they are likely top-20 picks. Malik Nabers (LSU) and Franklin (Oregon) both found the end zone. As many as seven or eight WRs could be packed inside the top 40 next April."

Corley is a fun player, isn't he? He has a lot of "Reek" attributes in that he might be small but he's tough and he's super quick and definitely a low 4.3s guy.

Many boards seem high on the WRs from Florida State but I'm luke-warm. I see Coleman as more of a bottom-two guy than a top-20 pick.

I guess maybe I don't see the overwhelming depth of this WR class like so many pundits are putting out there. It's a better class than last year I think, especially at the top but these guys saying 7 or 8 in the top 40... I don't know about that. I think there might be 5 first-rounders and could push for another 5 or so second-rounders. I don't know if there is talent that screams top 40 in that 2nd round group but there are always surprises. After that, I think it might tail off pretty quick in the talent department. We'll see, I'm always wrong about something.

Absolutely a fun guy. I'm not going to think of him as a small guy, just not that 6 footer. He plays big and that is enough. I love the tough attitude he has. His ability to stop and start mixed with his speed looks to be dangerous. I'd welcome him on the Chiefs in a heartbeat.

I love guys with some attitude at WR. Give me that Steve Smith Sr. toughness and it is an easy sell for me. Probably why I like Jermaine Burton this cycle. His mental toughness gives me those Smith Sr. vibes. Corley fits right into that. Ainias Smith as well.

I'm not big on Coleman. I see some laziness that is concerning to me. Maybe I'm just seeing it wrong but it looks like to me he takes some plays off. I'm taking a hard pass on him.

Xavier Legette reminds me of A.J. Brown.

Xavier Worthy looks like an Andy Reid WR.

Give me one of the Xavier's.

What about Xavier Weaver or Xavier Restrepo?

All 4 are currently on the top 25 WR list.

Xaviers!

Nabers is the one I really want but there's 0 chance we have an opp to grab him.

Yea, it's not quite the completely unrealistic dream that Marvin Harrison Jr. is, but that's not happening either.

10. Xavier Worthy, Texas

And a bonus "don't sleep on this guy"... Will Sheppard, Vanderbilt.

Very solid list, couple of my notes:

-Keon Coleman for me is much higher, probably top 5
-I'm not a fan as much of Malachi Corley
-Xavier Legette to me needs to be in the top 10
-I struggle with Worthy vs Adonai Mitchell on Texas, probably a scheme or type of receiver selection but I wonder who will have more value at the next level

Very early in the season though, I don't really get to dive into the WR class until after the NCAA season and they are doing their predraft process. Looks like a very exciting WR class though.

Bump · 10-19-2023, 05:21 PM

Since I'm playing Madden franchise and drafted Emeka Egbuka in the 2nd round with an imported draft class. That's who I hope the Chiefs draft because he's a badass in my franchise!

Yea, I think he's the second WR off the board. Top 15 at worst.

Would you take 5-7 in the 1st round?

Would 8-10 be worth trading up in the 2nd for?
