As it stands right now, if Franklin and Brian Thomas Jr. aren't available, I'm probably going with a different postion, but I have a hard time seeing more than a handful of guys that I'd take over Legette.

He's probably in my top 40 for the Chiefs, and I'd be fine with him at 31/32.

I think Franklin would be a monster on the Chiefs.

But yea if those guys are gone I think we're looking DL or OT.

I would add Worthy as the third WR in that group.

Looking at 2nd round WRs that could make it to our range, I honestly think Jermaine Burton might be the best fit of them all.

Dude would compliment Rice extremely well:

Look at the adjustment with the ball in the air at :44!

That is EXACTLY what Mahomes is missing.

I liked Tez Walker somewhat coming into the Senior Bowl, but he’s looking absolutely brutal in these practices in terms of catching the ball. Saw him drop two yesterday. Watching the replay of today’s practice now and he’s dropped his first three targets and telegraphed his comeback route so badly on the 4th target that the DB easily read it boxed him out so badly that Walker couldn’t even get his hands near the pass. It’s so bad that you can see him getting frustrated over it. I feel bad for him.

I was thinking yesterday it'd be a lot of fun if we went Worthy RD 1 and Burton RD 2, then nabbed one of the playmaking RBs in Corum or Wright in the 3rd or 4th.

Let's just kill'em with speedy playmakers like MIA!

I've been all aboard with Jermaine Burton for a while.

Only 4 drops his entire time in college. Zero last year. Elite speed, tracks the ball very well, great hands. Would be a great compliment to RR.

Issue for me on Worthy is not only his weight. But his contested catch rate. 25% contested catch rate is ringing the alarm bell that he could struggle with the bigger more physical corners in the NFL.

Say hypothetically all of these names are off the board by the time we pick at 32...

Harrison Jr
Nabers
Odunze
Thomas Jr
Coleman
Franklin
Legette
Worthy

Which WR are you targeting now? RD 1 or RD 2?

Probably going DL or OT in the 1st and targeting a WR to trade up for if necessary in the 2nd.

Mitchell
Walker
Burton
Polk
Wilson
Rice

Mitchell and Walker probably go early 2nd. Burton is the guy I'd target.

[kccrow]

These were the ones that made Daniel Jeremiah's initial Top 50...

01. Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State
02. Rome Odunze, Washington
03. Malik Nabers, LSU
04. Brian Thomas Jr., LSU
05. Devontez Walker, North Carolina
06. Adonai Mitchell, Texas
07. Keon Coleman, Florida State
08. Troy Franklin, Oregon
09. Xavier Worthy, Texas
10. Ladd McConkey, Georgia
11. Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky

Can't say I agree with it, but thought I'd share it.

Yeah I'm kinda getting to this point too. Those were my original cut off point as I didn't see much i liked with Walker, Legette etc, but I was talking myself into Walker before these practices.

Man, I dunno. I'm really not impressed with some of the fringe R1 OTs like Morgan, Guyton and Paul. And I just can't see myself wanting ANOTHER DE in R1. Again, just not convinced there's lots of talent there.

I'm kinda thinking my preference would be to go up a little for Franklin or Thomas, and if they're gone trade back for an extra pick.

I'd probably go with Mitchell. I'd be tempted by Walker still.

For my 2 cents I agree with your top 5. I'd have Worthy lower, I prefer Mitchell and Walker, but I'm cooling on Walker again. Don't like Coleman or Legette but I'm not sure how low I'd have them. I'd have Wilson above McMillan. I don't really like Rice but I'm not sure who there I'd have above him, probably Pearsall. I know everyone hates McConkey and I get it, but I'd have him higher. Maybe not for the Chiefs I guess.
