I think with this team, Rice is the unquestioned WR1 and Kelce will still be here. Not sure we need to spend a 1st on one that only needs 4 or so targets a game.
Seems like a really good WR2 candidate will be there for us in rd 2 via a small trade up if need be [Reply]

We take DL and OL in the 1st, typically, and protecting Mahomes is more important than giving him weapons. The 2nd is Veach's sweat spot for WR, and this year's value will be better than ever.
Here are a few scenarios I could imagine by draft day:
-Franklin's 10% drop rate comes under focus and he falls into top to mid 2nd
-Legette falls to the mid to low 2nd just like DK Metcalf
-Worthy falls to the mid to low 2nd just like Hyatt the previous year
-Walker, Burton, & Polk are all pushed down the board to the bottom of the 2nd due to the above WRs falling
-R. Wilson, J. Wilson, Corley, & Rice Jr get pushed down to the 3rd
-Thrash, Smith, Washington are available in the 4th or 5th
If we came away with Worthy in the 2nd and Thrash in the 4th I'd be happy as a clam. [Reply]
It will be interesting to see how all the WR's show at the combine. For those of you that have already disected film on a lot of these, do guys like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint and Ryan Flournoy show any promise as late round flyers? Neither may even get drafted, but just two that I think show some traits Chiefs may be interested in. [Reply]
Steve Smith gave his initial review of the top 15 WRs on youtube.
His opinions are a bit polarizing, but I noted the following:
-Mitchell catches 90% with his body
-Legette better than DK Metcalf
-Franklin, he kept getting distracted by #15 instead
-Worthy is this year's Tank Dell
-Polk is a dog
-Rice Jr runs like Pachecco, harder than anyone
-Dez Walker shoulda gone back to school
-Corley is the steal of the draft
-J Wilson can't chew gum and tie his shoe at the same time
-Thomas Jr is growing on him
Smith's not my favorite, but he's won a following after calling Cooper Kupp apparently. [Reply]
I liked Corley early on, thinking he’d be a good fit for what this offense is doing but may be somewhat redundant next to Rice. His route running at the senior bowl was surprisingly sharp, however. I’m really coming around on him in the 2nd—if he’s even available at that point. [Reply]

Who is #15 he keeps getting distracted by on Franklin? Another receiver from Oregon that he likes better? [Reply]
I had an edible last night and started watching highlights… and my god, Xavier Leggette looked absolutely unreal to me. I swore I was watching DK Metcalf but with better hands. [Reply]
