Well, sure, he's not actually J Waddle. I'm just saying I see some similarities between the two in the the type of WRs they are. Meant to mean that Franklin's not just a deep threat, he runs crisp routes and can separate at all three levels, he doesn't just run deep and pray.

Highlights were what I expected, guy running by overwhelmed corners. |

He put up big games against Washington, USC, Colorado, and Wazzou. Or the best teams they played. Unfortunately, Travis Hunter didn’t play against Oregon, so we don’t have any of that matchup. I don’t think he’s a guy big-voting the shitty teams on their schedule, though. |

Also, regarding a list of 2nd round targets...
I've been tooling around with the idea of a draft game for us, looking to you guys to see if there's any interest? ...the idea would be to start a thread for our game, everyone picks 3 players for each of our draft picks, and whoever gets the most correct wins. Maybe I'd send you a Chiefs hat or something if you win, and we could play every offseason. Any interest? |

Adding to the big vs fast WR discussion that there's really no question which is preferred in today's NFL. Here are a couple articles from PFF highlighting the most efficient RBs and WRs with the most separation in 2023.
Most efficient RB: 1. DE’VON ACHANE, MIAMI DOLPHINS: 92.1 Achane didn’t see the volume of some of the other top running backs, but his efficiency was unmatched. He averaged 7.5 yards per carry, including 4.9 after contact, and forced 30 missed tackles on 108 rushing attempts. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest...fL%2BoLPeE5kNC WR's that created the most separation 2023: 1. Tyreek Hill 2. Believe it or not, Justin Watson https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-rou...4kAWmukA940w76 Kay Take Away Speed Kills. |

I don’t think the take away there is that speed kills. It’s that the dolphins had people so spread out that those fast rbs feasted in that offense. It’s more complimentary football for me. Things have to fit. Were the lions wrong to feed David Montgomery and not feed Gibbs more? I don’t think so. They worked together well. I do think you’re right (as far as speed kills) that Mahomes does best with speedy WRs and their separation. He’s more comfortable with them or appears to be and it really lets him use his arm strength on the deep ball, which we’ve got to get back in this offense. Our offense could be lethal with our current running game and a deep ball. And both of those would open up Kelce more. So, maybe you’re right, speed would kill for us. The fit is there.

For the love of all that is right in the world, please add Kamari Lassiter to this list.
He's one guy I'd drive a stake in the ground for in the first if we don't move way up for a LT or there aren't a very select couple of WRs sitting in striking distance. As much as I like Franklin this is one guy who would probably make me flip a coin, especially if we're losing Sneed. |

Offensively, I'm actually more concerned about the long-term viability at LT and how they solve that than I am going all-in on targets. Not going to lie, I like the flashy objects too and it makes for some fun mocks. It just might be high time to bite that bullet and go get a LT, honestly. You're going to start running out of superstars to trade for high picks. Sneed is likely getting you a 2nd round pick. Use it and move up and solve a problem. If you get pick 50 or better, you can get to 16. Seattle doesn't have a 2nd round pick either. I'd be just as happy if they add Mooney, Shenault, and Van Jefferson in FA and see where the dust settles at WR. I'm really not all that worried about it. Hell, take a flier on Chase Claypool for free if you want. That's just saying the Chiefs don't even have to draft a WR to make some quality moves offensively. If you find a way to solve LT in FA or via trade or something, I would be totally for a defensive pick in round 1. Go WR in 2. Hell take 2. I don't care. |

If Chris Jones leaves I’m placing all my money on a trade up for Darius Robinson. He’s an ideal Spags DL
