Damn shame about Egbuka. It's Franklin then Thomas for me I think. I might even move up slightly for Franklin. I don't care about the weight, he plays bigger, beats the press and is generally excellent against man coverage, has incredible releases, long speed. Only mild concern is drops but they're not wild.

The Chiefs threw the shortest passes of any offense in the regular season.

Rice had the 5th best PFF grade of any rookie this season. Nice!

If he's confident in himself, then why not go in as a early RD 2 guy on a 4-yr contract and get to your first real contract faster?

If he stays and goes 1st round on a 5-yr controlled rookie deal it'll take him 2 more years to reach that contract, and every year is a risk of a career ending injury.

help me to understand this decision?

I don't get it either. He will turn 22 in October of this year. He was my most wanted with where kc will be drafting. Now I guess it's Brian Thomas Jr.

Yeah.....shit I do like Franklin alot.

I'm becoming more of a Leggette guy too.

[JPH83]

I don't think we get Franklin without moving up, but man I would love it.

[Couch-Potato]

I ****ing LOVE that quote from Fanklyn!!!

16 plays of 30+ yards is hard to ignore!

A playmaker might be exactly what we need.

Someone who doesn't need the ball too much.

We already have Kelce and maybe Rice is our #1 WR.

[Couch-Potato]

Saw projections today for Hollywood and Ridley to sign deals elsewhere on 1-yr $12m "prove it" deals.... If that's a reality I'd jump all over it.

[Couch-Potato]

Still amazed by how many big, fast, athletic WRs are in this draft.

All of the possible 1st RD WRs are 6'3-6'4 except Nabers.

Harrison Jr
Odunze
Coleman
Thomas Jr
Mitchell
Legette
Franklyn

Ultimately, I'd be fine with any of these guys.

Whoever Mahomes, Reid, and Veach decide is there guy.

[Chris Meck]

Mitchell and Franklin are the guys most likely available or within reach that I'm most high on right now.

Both can fly, and track the ball well.

Me too. I wouldn't hate Thomas but he looks like he's rising. I think Franklin's going to test really well though and I'm concerned that pushes him out of reach.

[Couch-Potato]

how many WRs do you think go in the first? Feels like 6-7

[O.city]

I've become a big Legette guy. Swing big.
