I defended McConkey some because people were sleeping on his athleticism, especially prior to the combine.
You can question whether he's a fit for the Chiefs, have concerns about his injury history, and suggest you can get a similar player later in the draft. But, don't sleep on his quickness, speed, and cutting ability. Georgia ran jet sweeps with this kid. He might look like a walk-on, but he's the real deal.

Slightly underwhelmed, but really depends who else is left on the board at the time.

I voted "underwhelmed" because #32. If he was selected at 50ish with a Sneed pick, I'd be happy; I think he's very quick on his route cuts, has high FB IQ, and would be a great chain mover. If the Chiefs somehow got Thomas at #1 (minor trade-up?), or more likely an DT or OT at #32, McConkey at 50sh, I wouldn't be at all disappointed.

Here’s how I see it right now:
Won’t make it to us: MHJ Nabers Odunze Thomas Jr Mitchell Early 2nd rd WR’s that are option for 32 or small trade up if necessary: Xavier Worthy-size scares the hell out of me. One dimensional type player based mostly on speed. If we get Mooney or Samuel while keeping Hardman I won’t see the point. Ladd McConkey-can do everything at an high level. Smart, good size, athleticism is more than there, can run routes. 2nd rd WR’s: Xavier Legette: too raw for me. Maybe at 62 if we get a good FA WR. He’s gonna need time to develop. Troy Franklin-he’s gonna be there around 62 to me. He’s capable but a build up type speed guy. Can fit but not high on him. Keon Coleman-underrated to me but Rice fills that role. Malachi Corley-same. A little underrated but we have that guy in Rice already. Roman Wilson-ideal fit for us IMO. Very similar to McConkey. Can do everything well, has the athleticism and was very good on extended plays. Ricky Pearsall-like him a lot. Would fit nicely here. His age will make him fall towards 62 like Juan Thornhill did when’s he was drafted. Bottom line for me is Worthy or McConkey at 32 (Worthy small trade up?) but if we get a top 50 pick for Sneed I’d use 32 on a lineman like Darius Robinson, Johnny Newton or a LT if one falls while drafting Roman Wilson. |

McConkey battled back and ankle injuries in 2023 so he missed time. He only played in 9 games. He played in 14 games in 2022 and had 750+ yards and 7 TDs. When he was on the field, he produced.

So he's potentially injury prone and he amassed 500 yards less in his best ever season than Legette did in his most recent season. Playing for a better team in the same division. The only obvious thing he's got on Legette is age.

Legette had more yards than a lot of very good receivers that will be drafted before him, including Marvin Harrison Jr.
Production isn’t the end all be all. And I really like Legette, but there are some questions about his skill as a route runner. |

I do like Legette but he does a lot of what Rice does. He also isn’t very polished in his routes. Excellent for YAC and some straight line deep shots.
I feel like guys like him, Corley and Coleman would play the same role as Rashee. Would we spend an asset that high on them to play (mostly) the same position? |

He had 760 the year before, which is pretty respectable. I stand mostly corrected. Respect. |
