I'm alot higher on Pearsall as a similar type though, I just think there is more speed and better size there.

Pearsall is one of my favorite prospects.

I would be ecstatic with him in the 2nd.

Johnny Wilson is intriguing prospect to me with that size, speed and movement ability. Where would you take him if at all?

I think this is the point. Is Burton smart enough to control himself and stay out of trouble or is judgment impaired with money and the attention of being a chief? Toney is obviously not very smart or maybe better stated, he’s lacking emotional intelligence. He had an opportunity to be a contributor on another Super Bowl winning team and blew it. I’d love Burton if he’s emotionally intelligent enough to handle the chiefs spotlight, money and fame. He’s got speed and his ability with tracking and adjusting in the air for the deep ball is really an element that we desperately need in this offense. I don’t know maybe I’m old school but I just think a guy with a neck tattoo has bad judgment or something is wrong with him. And Xavier worthy has a huge one all over his neck. And I love worthy’s speed and route running. His skill set is unreal but I’d rather roll the dice with Burton as a deep threat in the 2nd than worthy. Worthy’s low floor scares me.and I used to love worthy as a prospect.

[kcbubb]

You’re the man crow. Thanks for putting this together. If this is close to correct, I’d trade down and stockpile some picks bc the talent you can get late is unreal. Give me Burton and Devonte’s walker in the 4th and Johnny Wilson in the 6th. At least you’ve got young talent in the wr room and it would be extremely competitive. You cover a lot of different traits with those three guys.

What his deal? I havent looked into him yet.

[Couch-Potato]

Crow, thanks for putting that together.

I like your 3rd round better than your 2nd round WRs.

Not too high on Burton or Walker, curious to ask why not?

Thanks for turning me on to Cowing! Why didn't he enter the draft after his 2021 season?

[Couch-Potato]

Steve Smith likes Corley:

Someone asked what's to like about him. For one, his nickname is "YAC King" which is pretty cool lol. He average 8.4 yards after the catch!!! He'd be really interesting in the slot next to Rice IMO, we'd have 3 big physical pass catchers on the field. Make ya pay for tackling our guys and wear em down. Also, he's well spoken in the interview which always tends to make me believe the guy is pretty smart with a good attitude. He will interview well with teams.

Burton is largely my questions about his character and I can't answer them. I think he's going to have varying grades. The other half of it is that I just don't think he's better than alot of the guys I have above him. For comparison, I think Pearall is every bit as good, if not a little better in traffic, and he doesn't have issues.

I don't like Walker's routes and hands in combination. Him and Javon Baker fell alot for me.

[SAGA45]

Corley's a Kansas City Chief.

[kccrow]

Forgot to mention on Cowing, Couch, that there are some drop issues there with him and his size is a big issue. He's probably 5'9", maybe even 5'8". How fast he runs will determine how high he goes, but he's without question the most explosive slot WR in this draft in my eyes. I might have to move him down the board a tad but I think he's at least on par with Tank Dell and Josh Downs, which puts him firmly in the middle of Round 3. I think he's faster than both, though.

[JPH83]

Thanks for that suggested list Crow. If that played out I'm coming back round to the idea of double dipping. I think Rosemy-Jacksaint goes a little earlier but I'd love him in rhe 7th after getting our guy in the 1st. I'd also like any of those guys you have in the 5th there.

Interesting that the comps for Burton on Draftbuzz are 1) K. Toney 2) J. Hyatt 3) J. Dotson.

[O.city]

Pearsall is gonna end up being my 2nd round guy.
