I want a guy with the speed to threaten deep, and ball tracking skills. I don't really want a 'move the chains' possession receiver type guy so much. I want somebody who can catch the ****ing ball when Mahomes wants to throw deep. |

I agree Meck. I don't think most of us are looking at a speed guy and thinking that we want a guy that can just line up and run real fast in a straight line. There are 10 MVS types available in the 4th and 5th rounds every year.
I want a guy with speed who is also a really good WR at all levels of the field, and those guys aren't exceedingly plentiful. Usually, they go pretty ****ing high in a draft. I think this season presents a unique opportunity for the Chiefs to get one because of the strength of this draft class. |

Yeah, you guys want a legit all 3 levels guy. Those guys go in the top 15 and or are paid 25 million dollars a year.
I don't think Franklin is that guy with his size being what it is, but he could be. Coleman gives me underwear warrior vibes (honestly so does Legette a little bit) but I've seen Legette win more in the short and intermediate level than I did Coleman this year. The guy from UNC may end up the best of both worlds. |

Here are the guys I think really fit the Chiefs typical WR profile:
Franklin Worthy Walker Burton R. Wilson Washington Rice Jr Thrash Clark Fast. Separators, Deep Threats, and/or plus Route Running abilities. Anyone else you think fits? Last edited by Couch-Potato; 01-26-2024 at 02:14 PM.. |

Love this scouting report on Rice Jr:
Made Bruce Feldman's Freaks List at #53. He said, "...the biggest Freak of the bunch is the one with the heftiest football bloodlines, Brenden Rice, son of the greatest receiver ever, Jerry Rice. The younger Rice, who had 39 catches for 611 yards (15.7-yard average) and four touchdowns in 2022, is 6-3, 215 pounds and hit 23 MPH on the GPS and had an impressive 1.43 10-yard split. This offseason, Rice also vertical-jumped 38 inches, did 17 reps of 225 on the bench and squatted 525 for three reps." Utilizes his outstanding length and "alpha dog" mentality on 50/50 balls, and displays an expansive catch radius. Despite his tall frame, showcases rare suddenness and burst off the LOS, presenting challenges for DBs during route transitions. Flaunts high-caliber boundary awareness and body control; often seen toe-tapping or making leaping grabs near the sidelines. A natural hands catcher, he consistently high-points the ball, diminishing a defender's chance to break up the play in tight windows. While not just a vertical threat due to his impressive top-end speed, he's a YAC monster, showing elusiveness post-catch in open fields. Brings versatility to special teams; his kick and punt return prowess at Colorado underscores his multidimensional skill set. A proven clutch player with big-game DNA; consistently elevates his play in high-stakes situations like Tulane and Oregon outings. His membership of Bruce Feldman's Freaks List isn't by chance; it's a testament to his explosive off-the-line burst, evidenced by his notable 1.43 10-yard split. Scouts have been buzzing about his agility and ability to create separation, although there are murmurs about refining his route tree and high-pointing ability against more physical DBs. |

Franklin is a playmaker. I wouldn’t pass because of his size if he is available. |

Franklin will be 6’2” and 190. What is the issue with that size?
Are we trying to make him an inline WR? |

You really love yourself some Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers got him with the 25th pick in 2020 and he was the 6th WR off the board in what was a really strong draft class. That class had Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Reagor, and Justin Jefferson all go ahead of him. None were collegiate slouches and every bit as strong as this year's class. Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman went the first two picks of the 2nd round. So, we have an exceptional opportunity based purely on strength of class to have one fall into our laps at the bottom of the round that can be an excellent pairing with Rashee. |

But the more we get on this class…it seems like there’s 3 then just a bunch of “maybe”. Some will end up good, some more Reagor like. I just like McMillan and Polk as much as Franklin so I’m inclined to wait and see |
