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 [Reply]

Yea, when there's a majority of us in agreement about one player like this, it's usually the way to go. [Reply]
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. [Reply]

PFF includes this info... I'll take a look later and add what I can to the thread, but if I recall correctly the only stats that really stuck out to me were Coleman and Burton were like 0% drop rate WRs, and Franklin was 10%. [Reply]

That'd be cool. I'd guess Ricky Pearsall, Ladd McConkey, and Ja'Lynn Polk are going to be quite low. [Reply]

I'm going to think it's more likely you might get Jermaine Burton in the 4th than Pearsall because some significant concerns are floating around out there about his maturity and given the number of taunting penalties he got in college they might just have some merit. [Reply]
