Is Xavier Worthy the fastest in the draft? How fast is he? Tyreek fast or Mecole fast? Is he a true WR?

Maybe. Corley is pretty damned fast though.

Tyler Harrell?

Jermaine Burton, 2nd day guy. Getting some Stefon Diggs vibes in his game. Is that just me?

Great route running, great hands, tracks the ball very well, great on jump balls and contested catches, low 4.4 speed. Mentally and physically tough as nails. Dawg on the field.

staylor26 · 10-25-2023, 02:19 PM

All I know is, just like last year, I am good with WR anywhere in the first 2 rounds. This years class is even deeper, so we could realistically get another guy to pair with Rice in round 2.

Just FYI, every time you post I end up with Phil Collins in my head.

I don't hate it...

Aww, how sweet of you. Just like I want it to be.

Could be worse for you though.

You could hate it

Who could hate Genesis, though. I mean really?

Jordan Reid's mock draft on ESPN+

32. Kansas City Chiefs (6-1)
Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

The Chiefs have poured resources into finding young pass-catchers for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, including a second-round pick in April on Rashee Rice, the most consistent of Kansas City's receiver bunch. But the offense still lacks the explosive element that we've seen in past seasons. Franklin has caught a pass of 30 or more yards in six out of seven games this season. At 6-foot-3, 187 pounds, he's a long-striding three-level threat who can race past defenders, averaging 11.8 air yards per target.

Team needs: DT, WR, LB

staylor26 · 10-25-2023, 06:01 PM

I'd ecstatic with Franklin in the 1st if he actually makes it there.

Not me. But he could have left Groovy Kind of Love on the shelf.

If I need some Yacht Rock, Christopher Cross is on deck in my house. Better believe that.

Looks good! After the probable departure of MVS we will need someone to stretch the field. I'd like to see him add about 10lbs of muscle and keep the speed.

Need to be talking about Ja'lynn Polk more. Rome loses the ball in the Red Zone. McMillan's fragility continues. Polk 148 and 2 TD's.

Worthy seems like a Hyatt. Kind of a long strider. I don't know about Morley, I have a feeling he isn't as rapid as people suggest. I dunno if he's 4.3. Think there's a reason he initiates contact a lot.

Probably so. He was a RB coming into college and the level of competition can make guys look faster than they are. He could be a 4.50 guy, who knows. Worthy doesn't always look 4.3 to me either though.

I think one guy that will certainly have a dog in the fight is Jamari Thrash.
