I just can't see us being 'enamored' with anyone likely to be available at 32. And frankly, I surely hope we aren't. None of them are THAT good. They're all varying degrees of solid in different ways. |

I'm sure they will be, the idea they can get the gadget stuff from an actual WR probably makes them think they can fill 2 positions in 1.

Some homeruns there. Franklin, Burton and Pearsall on the list.

Agreed. The value for me at wr in this draft is at about 50, which would be perfect to trade sneed for a pick in that range. One of the top guys has to fall to 50. Trade sneed for pick 50 and take the best available wr with that pick. I wouldn’t be surprised if any of these guys happen to fall. As you’ve pointed out, all of them have a hole or two in their game and it’s gonna be a matter of preference.

I don't think the Chiefs are gonna draft a deep threat like Worthy. I think they'll cut MVS and make it a priority to get a vet FA like Mooney. We can all agree that Andy/Patrick don't want a rookie taking a top spot.
With teams playing cover 2 99% of the time, I don't think the speed threats will be as valuable from the draft. I want a route runner. Who is the closest person that can give us anything in the same universe as this? Get Patrick a route running fiend and we feast |

The theory checks out, but can he actually do it against NFL cornerbacks? And I don't know that he was ever really asked to work zones and do the 'clever' shit that we're going to want from a Z receiver (and presumably that's how you'd try to use him if he's a 1st rounder). I just think the smaller guys are better in theory than practice. They start to get whacked around and knocked off their route and suddenly what they SHOULD be able to do becomes pretty damn hard for them to actually do it on time. It's the Skyy Moore lesson again. And Moore isn't even a weight problem (he's built well enough) his was a contact balance problem and a little bit of a length/brains issue. Trying to project smaller/slighter WRs into every part of the field is a pretty risky proposition. Some of the things they did to be successful in those areas of the field don't work in timing offenses and against longer, stronger, faster DBs. Physicality is an underrated component for all but the most athletic WRs. And yes, Worthy is athletic. Does he reach the threshhold level of physicality to put that to use? Well I guess that's the million dollar question, innit? |
