The game just seems to big for skyy moore. Small school guys scare me a little.

What do y’all think about Johnny Wilson? He has big hands but drops were a problem? He’s an intriguing prospect to me with his size, speed and especially his movement. He’s pretty smooth for a guy that big. And long arms…. 35”. What a target. Hard to miss that guy. But if he can’t catch?

That’s my take, too. I’d be all over him in round 4/5. Maybe Kelce gives me false confidence on the Chiefs ability to mature him, but I love the idea of doubling up at WR in this draft and think he’d be a sexy second guy. Even with Caleb Williams, Alabama spread the ball around. He was still the top dog as a receiver, though. And Milroe this year was kind of a deep shot only QB. I don’t know that he was maximized in that offense. |

"Moves well for a big guy" means he's actually pretty mediocre for a normal sized WR. And I just don't think the trade-off is worthwhile. He wouldn't even be on my board for the Chiefs. Some teams may have a use for him but I don't. We don't have Matt Cassel under center - 'hard to miss' doesn't move the needle for me when I have a guy that can put a ball in 5 gallon bucket from 30 yards out. Give me separation and quickness in/out of his cuts. Wilson does neither of those things. He's a guy I have essentially zero interest in at all. If I thought he could learn to block more consistently I might have him as an intriguing TE convert on the 3rd day, but that's about it. |

I like Tahj Washington's tape ouf of USC as a later-round receiver. PFF has him as the 149th overall prospect. He's small, but electric.

If we go with somebody like Worthy or Franklin early, I love double dipping with McCaffrey. Last edited by staylor26; 02-21-2024 at 10:55 AM.. |

We've seen this movie before. These 'move well for a big guy' players don't do anything at the next level. "Moves like a small guy AND he's big" are unicorns and they go in the top 10. But if you're looking at a bigger receiver on the 2nd day or even the back of the 1st round, they're probably just not very good. |

Here's the way I look at it - the difference between a talent and a prodigy.
A talent is a kid who's doing things better than all the other kids. A 10 year old that plays piano better than all the other 10 year olds is a heck of a talent. Probably someone that can get a scholarship or something and be a heck of a piano playing accountant someday. A prodigy is a 10 year old that plays piano better than all the other ADULTS. I need my big WRs to be prodigies. I need them to be big guys that move as well/better than the small guys. If they can't, they're just piano playing accountants. |

Everyone likes to throw around "Next Deebo" without acknowledging that most of those guys don't amount to much of anything. You'll get 5 Burks for every 1 Deebo. |

Elite athletic skills -- Johnny Wilson Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 'Freaks List' at number 28. He wrote: "At almost 6 feet 7, 239 pounds, he has 36-inch arms, 10 1/4 inch hands and a standing reach of 8-10. He also has a 35.5 inch vertical and a 10-5 broad jump. In games, he’s topped out at 21.23 MPH with a max acceleration of 5.26 m/s and has a max deceleration of -7.21 m/s." Those numbers are ridiculous. He is not kelvin benjamin. Benjamin timed at a 4.6 and 17mph. Waller was a 4.46 at 22 mph. And 37” vertical. Waller is a better comp, almost the same height and weight also. Waller was drafted in the 6th round… |

Funny, unexpected thing about Burton I saw while looking into him...he was apparently child prodigy at golf. So if we pick him he could team up with Patrick in celebrity golf tournaments and win a bunch of money.

The WRs I like best at this point who we have a legit chance at without trading up - so not Nabers, MHJ, Odunze, and probably Thomas - are Worthy and Legette. I'd be disappointed to see either of those guys get picked by a rival. Still a lot of time to evaluate and the combine will likely change my opinions on some of these guys, but I think Worthy will go somewhere from 33-40 and Legette will go 40-50. Still trying to warm up to Franklin and Coleman, maybe I'll see something at the combine that makes me like them more than I do now. But right now I'm on Worthy and Legette.
There are also some really intriguing guys who are likely to drop to rounds 3-5. Depending on how F/A shakes out, I wouldn't be surprised to see Veach grab two WRs in this draft. |
