After that it gets interesting.

Just a reminder that the Eagles took Reagor with Justin Fricking Jefferson still on the board.

Whoops.

Those mistakes happen every year, and we have victimized ourselves like that.

Hardman over dk
Clyde over higgins
Trading back and taking skyy instead of just staying and taking pickens. Icing on the cake is tre mcbride went the very next pick.

I didn't have Jefferson 1. But I loved J Jeff before that draft.

Was too low on Higgins but I also loved Pittman.

Had

Jeudy
Lamb
Jefferson

then Ruggs as the elite vertical 2.

hated Reagor, did not think he was 1st round worthy.

Really good in-depth analysis of this years WR class with Brett Kollman. WR discussion starts at the 8:29 mark.

Currently, I like...

Thomas Jr
Franklin
Coleman
Legette
Worthy
Mitchell

I think if the WR big board could get shaken up at the combine or in the pre draft process and Thomas Jr could end up being the guy that falls to us. Wouldn't hate that one bit, he's the best tall vertical deep in the draft.

Franklin's fit for Andy and the Chiefs is easy to see.

Coleman has that "It" factor and "alpha" mentality. I think he might flash some plays early, return for us, but take a couple years to really develop though.

Legette has the physical attributes and might be a plus that he's a 5th year, we need someone mature and ready to contribute now. I might like him more than Coleman for this reason. No chance Andy doesn't figure out a way to get this guy some production. No chance.

Worthy would be a better Hardman for us, hopefully.

Mitchell, I just can't see it yet. He's big and slow to me on tape, I reserve the right to change my mind after the combine.

Bottom two are both TX WRs though, there's a league wide appreciation for TX football, and we all know Mahomes will get a closer look at these guys than the rest.

I think I like Anthony Gould as a late round/UDFA option.

[UChieffyBugger]

The more I watch Worthy, the more I'm petrified that the kid is just another Hardman. I know he has a more proven resume but even a texas fan I saw talking about him said "he's not a route runner".

Right now Franklin, Mitchell and Coleman are the guys I most favour. And I'm waiting to see what Leggett, Polk and Baker do at the combine. If Ladd runs a fast time then maybe I could see it.

[Chris Meck]

I just don't think a guy that needed 5 years to figure out college football is a good prospect for an Andy Reid offense.

McConkey is gonna end up being our pick isn't he.

[In58men]

Somebody needs to create a combine thread.

I'm kind of hoping he runs something stupid and gets drafted before 32.

Like, if he runs low 4.3s at the combine.

At 64? I mean...maybe.

No, we're not taking the guy at 32. And I doubt we take him at 64. This is just your standard draft season stuff where suddenly there are 60-70 different guys being mocked into the 1st round by various sources.

And as is usually the case, those guys that are 'screaming up the draft boards' will go in the 3rd like everyone expected them to in mid-January.

Maybe 1 in 5 dudes actually move a great deal. Someone like Robinson may have moved himself up (we'll see - I still think he goes in the mid/late 2nd) but they aren't ALL moving up on the strength of senior bowl practices and underwear olympics.

Scouting departments are far more concerned with 2-3 years of college tape than they are any of this stuff. And none of that has changed. What may actually move guys are medicals and interviews and none of that has actually happened yet. But still we're hearing that dudes are moving all over the place.

They aren't. Daniel Jeremiah just has a column to write.

Worthy is the Parris Campbell to Adonai Mitchell who is the Terry McLaurin on Texas.

The tiny slot gets drooled over and the actual good WR gets glossed over.

What wr do you like at 64?
