I don't think the Chiefs seek out large receivers necessarily, but I think the narrative that they go for small ones is overblown.

Thomas, Wilson, Hardman, James are all small guys. ALL have been on the team since Pat made his debut. Moore is ANOTHER small guy and Toney isn't tall either but keep making excuses buddy.

Track speed doesn’t always mean game speed. Fans overvalue 40 times.

Football isn't just running in a straight line.

But Worthy clearly has game speed. Have you ever seen him play? There's a reason he's only 20 years old and has 3 productive college seasons.

Very interesting since FA starts before the draft...

Exactly. My point wasn't about Worthy vs Metcalf per say but moreso to show that as much as people think they "know", they really dont know anything about how these guys will do at the next level, regardless of how much information is available, including film.

Sure it makes for entertaining back 'n forth, but there's just too many variables that come into play post-draft to accurately project how productive these guys will be, let alone try to stand on that projection like its pre-destined. If we could then there'd be no such things as steals and busts.

I’d rather have Pearsall over Franklin

Last year Rice, Nacua, Dell, Addison, Flowers and Reed were the best rookie WR’s.

None of them ran below a 4.4

It's almost like being a good football player is more important than just pure track speed. Hmmmm strange

Pearsall will soon be 24. Veach ain't doing it.

[RunKC]

Yeah MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, Mitchell and Thomas Jr won’t be available for us. Idk that Worthy will be either.

Pretty clear that WR is by far the strength of this draft class. I think the top 5 will go in the first 20 picks while Worthy goes between 20-25.

Then what?

Maybe 8. This is the best WR class in 20+ years.

They said the same thing about Rice. That turned out ok.

Because the 2nd round is just as good.

I love ya Run, but you do this every year. 50 players can't go in the 1st.
