I just like McMillan and Polk as much as Franklin so I’m inclined to wait and see

I'm not as maybe as you are I guess. I'm not maybe on Franklin. I'm certain Worthy, Thomas, and Mitchell are all guys you can feel good taking in the 25-40 range. I'm not high on Coleman for this offense, but I'm confident he's going in the 1st to a team that values big, jump-ball WRs.

I think I like worthy the most out of that group that seems to be bunched where we’re gonna be picking

might be the one guy other team's fear we take in the 1st.

I know he didn't do much before last season, but I'd have a really hard time passing on Legette if he's there when we pick. You might just end up getting the best of the whole damn bunch. Speed, hands catcher, big physical guy, speed, contested catches. Did I forget to mention speed?

Reminds me of Anquan Bolden, but with low 4.3 speed.

It's him or Franklin for me. Obviously depends on how the board falls. Veach may have OL or DT in the board there too.

Xavier Leggett today was measured...South Carolina listed him at 6'3...he's actually 6'1

Well he's still taller than A.J. Brown, who he reminds me of, so

I don't think those couple of inches matter as much when he's as big and fast as he is.

It'll hurt him to some degree, that's how it works this time of year.

His wing span is pretty average also.

So the question becomes... what does he run at 6-1/220?

Is he low 4.3s? What does his 10-yard split look like?

And how does he perform in Senior Bowl practices, running routes outside the offense he just came out of.

Hopefully this man has not heard this before

All the WR's have a great opportunity to earn themselves a lot of money with a solid week at these Senior Bowl practices.

Really looking forward to see who shines.

I thought he was 6’1” or possibly 6’2”, so doesn’t change my opinion at all. Plays bigger. Big body, long arms, and a good high pointer. If his route tree shows any promise whatsoever then I’m totally onboard with him. I have zero concerns with him beyond that.

Any concerns about his ability to learn an offense given his minuscule production in his first 4 years of college? I'd have serious concerns, especially with an Andy Reid playbook. And if it isn't that then what exactly was the reason for the sudden ascent? That's equally concerning because then you have to bring in the question of performance-enhancing drug use.

Fair questions. I trust Veach to do the proper vetting in terms of PEDs and intelligence. Maybe he just got tired of mediocrity and started busting his ass in workouts. That’s what that guy who runs scouting for the Senior Bowl seemed to think.

Based on the two times I’ve seen him speak, and based on his Twitter timeline, he seems like a thoughtful enough guy. Doesn’t sound like a total Kadarius Toney-like imbecile, at least to me anyway. Seemed more like Rashee than Kadarius. But who knows? It’s not like I’ve sat down and picked his brain.
