I’m on record not liking ladd, and would be furious at 32.
At 64 i would be okay with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There's a lot to like there AND I can see him being a McLaurin-like player. But I'd be waiting for the shoe to drop. |
I don't claim to be an expert. I'd have to defer to the the CP brain trust. Do you guys think he can play outside? If so I'd put my trust in veach making the right pick.

And there are many likely higher ceilings, it's true, or at least, I agree. But he's not a slot only guy. His ceiling may be Cooper Kupp. Or it may be Renfrow. We don't know. At 32, probably there will be more explosive options. But we'll have to see. I'd rather take Pearsall later, but that's just me. |
This isn’t a critique of him as much as what we need to do with the pick. A steady, relatively low ceiling WR is not the best use of a first round pick for us. I’d much rather see us move up for an LT. If that option isn’t there, I’d consider one of the higher ceiling WR’s there (e.g. Keon Coleman), BPA or possibly trade down. A player of McConkey’s caliber could be had at pick #40 or even #50 (even if McConkey himself isn’t available there). Someone like Legette, Coleman, Worthy or Franklin will be available mid-2nd round. If we can trade down and stash an extra pick.

He's basically what we hoped Sky Moore would be, but I feel like there are others with greater upside.
|
I'm not advocating for the kid, so much as trying to counsel against hyperbole. No need to slag him because you prefer another. he's not my favorite either, but he's a solid bet.
|
He has the potential to be a good #2 or slot guy, I just don't see him as a #1 and great down field threat, which is what I think KC needs the most at this point.

I defended McConkey some because people were sleeping on his athleticism, especially prior to the combine.
You can question whether he's a fit for the Chiefs, have concerns about his injury history, and suggest you can get a similar player later in the draft. But, don't sleep on his quickness, speed, and cutting ability. Georgia ran jet sweeps with this kid. He might look like a walk-on, but he's the real deal. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ladd McConkey said <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgiaFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GeorgiaFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/IT6XVTYxF3">pic.twitter.com/IT6XVTYxF3</a></p>— SEC Network (@SECNetwork) <a href="https://twitter.com/SECNetwork/status/1591614875901599747?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |

There's just nothing special about him. |

He falls into the guys in the draft where you say "would he be a 1st rounder in any other draft," and if your answer is no then you have your answer. He's in that group for me. |

...His reputation as the best route runner in the class and being a sure-handed pro ready product make me wonder if he wouldn't be the top choice. |
