I like McConkey because I think he's a great fit for our offense and I think he is a very safe pick with a high floor. McConkey has experience playing outside and in the slot. He runs crisp routes and seems to get good separation. He's good at finding holes in zone defenses and he doesn't just quit when the play breaks down. Also he has very reliable hands. These are traits our current WRs lack.
He's never going to be a #1 receiver because he lacks elite physical traits. I've never thought of him as a first round pick but, picking at 32, most players left on the board will have second round grades.
AD Mitchell has elite traits but never produced as a #1, is not a great route runner and quits when routes are covered.
Xavier Worthy has elite traits. Clearly he fast, quick, runs good routes and has good hands (when healthy) The question on him is how frail he is. Can he last a full season?
Troy Franklin doesn't possess any elite traits. Very poor contested catch percentage and is quite skinny.
Unless one of the truly elite WRs falls to us (or we trade up), we're looking at the next tier of WRs who should all have second round grades.
In summary, I would be fine with Ladd at 32 but I'm hoping we get lucky one of the elite WRs falls, we trade up or trade down (but not too far).
