Half these guys could go in the mid to late second, that's the nature of picking last.
We'll see how things develop after the combine and leading up the draft. For now, I think it's a good list. |

I’m early into my studies but right now Franklin is the early leader in the clubhouse at 32…
Seems to be open deep downfield a lot, AKA Patrick’s perfect type of receiver as we know he doesn’t like to make risky throws downfield often. Perfect complement the offense needs right now in the vertical plane. |

We’ll see where we are in a couple weeks with Sneed. But if we lose him/tag and trade him there is a white boy out of Iowa that Spags is dreaming about deploying. Not too mention it sure would be nice to have a good punt returner for the first time in 5 years.

In the first round I want Troy Franklin. That I believe is undisputable. There are so many mock drafts all over the place. Troy Franklin would be my #1 choice for first round pick and take Xavier Legette in the second even if you have to move up to get him. Of course this depends on the Chris Jones/Sneed outcomes but, I would not be opposed to 2 WR's with our first 2 picks. Think about it, can you imagine a WR group of Rice, Franklin and Legette? Talk about DYNASTY! Holy shit!

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.
