I am pointing out the McConkey missed the first 4 games last year, which included the 3 easiest teams on their schedule. When you are comparing productivity, like Womble, with someone who played the whole season and played against 3 easy teams, you aren't comparing apples to apples. Actually, McConkey's production was against the better teams on their schedule.

With McConkey, you're getting a guy who's ready and able to contribute now, instantly carving out a role but the ceiling is low due to physical limitations (at least in comparison to Leggette who's just as fast and explosive from a testing standpoint despite being 35-40lbs heavier).
Some people throw Garrett Wilson's name in there as a comp for McConkey based purely on measurables but he is nowhere near as dynamic as Wilson with the ball in his hands nor as acrobatic when the ball is in the air. To me, McConkey is a faster version of Hunter Renfrow which isn't a bad thing to be honest. With Leggette, you're adding a kid who definitely needs some work on the subtleties of the position but offers you a rare profile to work with and near limitless upside. It might take him a bit longer to get up to speed but when it all comes together for him, I believe you'd have a guy capable of absolutely taking over games. So, in the end, I think it boils down to the team, their scheme, the urgency of their need at wr, and how patient they feel they can be with the kid's development in year one. If you need to plug a guy in NOW then McConkey's your choice. But if you feel you have a WR corps in place that allows you the time to cultivate a rookie's potential then you're taking Leggette. In my opinion, Leggette simply offers a skillset/physical profile combination that the Chiefs don't currently have in their WR room. Not to mention Leggette's film pops a lot more than McConkey's in my opinion. Those two factors give Leggette the edge in my eyes. Just my $0.02. Last edited by SAGA45; 04-21-2024 at 08:16 PM.. |

I would be happy with either one so I have no DITF either. But it's not particularly fair to judge McConkey's numbers in comparison with other WR. Georgia's offense runs through it's run game and it's TE. It's that way be design. Georgia is also usually leading in the second half of games and often leading by a bunch so it's not like their QB is dropping back 50 times a game.

I'm sold on AD Mitchell even if it costs some compensation in picks to jump Buffalo; I've given up on the Brian Thomas Jr dream, but AD would be a great backup plan

I had a dream last night that the Chiefs first 4 picks were WRs. Somehow we ended up with 4 picks in the first 2 rounds, and went Adonai Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Xavier Legette, and somebody else. (Dream might have just turned into drafting guys named Xavier.)
Anyway, this dream pretty much cements for me the player I was most impressed with just watching some highlights via my amateur eye. Chiefs will draft WR Adonai Mitchell, Texas. |

Chiefs need to find a way up the board for a LT, even if it's an unfair trade. Humphrey and Smith are both due contracts in 2025 and the Chiefs may not pay either one with how the IOL market got inflated, I'm assuming they want out from under Thuney sooner rather than later, and we currently don't even have a legitimate option at LT on roster. Stopgapping LT again would mean we're potentially looking at having to replace 3, if not 4, OL spots in 2025.

Some apparently can't fathom a white WR breaking ankles and flattening tires. LM did against good competition. |

I think this is the way to go. Take care of LT (will lilkely cost you #2), the get someone like Devontez Walker, Jalen MciMillan in the 3rd, and maybe an Anthony Gould in the 5th. Don't sleep on Nikko!!
