Yep, Franklin is the guy. If lots of the evaluators are right and he's available at 32 that's a slam dunk imo. I think he's probably gone by then

If I had it my way, we'd go... 1. WR Franklin 2. WR Legette 3. RB Wright 4. TE Bennett ..but those might be some risky picks. Last edited by Couch-Potato; 02-19-2024 at 01:43 PM.. |

Which of the top WRs have the best hands? It bugs me that I can't find stats around drops for college players.
Obviously speed and shiftiness have historically been critical factors for success in the Mahomes-led offense. With our new elite defense, however, I wonder if Veach & co. are thinking about placing a higher emphasis on avoiding drops just to keep the chains moving. Seems our achilles heel this year was Toney, MVS & JWatson drops. Sure, the latter two made big splash plays for us, but as far as being consistently sure-handed, they weren't all that. Hell, even Rice had drops in the first half of the year. If we had glue-hands at the WR spots and give up a little bit of speed, that might serve us best. |

That'd be cool. I'd guess Ricky Pearsall, Ladd McConkey, and Ja'Lynn Polk are going to be quite low.

If I could have Pearsall in the 4th round I'd be super happy.

I'd struggle to take him at 64 but damn, I dunno. I think he's gonna be a real good NFL WR>

I'm going to think it's more likely you might get Jermaine Burton in the 4th than Pearsall because some significant concerns are floating around out there about his maturity and given the number of taunting penalties he got in college they might just have some merit.

Adonai Mitchell not being on the list is insane.
