What pushed Mitchel over btj for you? I could see him being the better pro if things go right but I haven’t seen anyone rank him above btj.

BTJ went #26 in NFL.coms latest mock draft.

THAT's the trade up scenario we should be praying for!

I'd be willing to use next year's 2nd and change if that helps us get into the 19-25 range for him.

DJ is gonna smile with this one. His hands worry me but this is the type of high ceiling player the Chiefs look for.

North Carolina @UNCFootball wide receiver Devontez Walker (6-1 1/2, 193, 4.36 speed, 40 1/2 vertical, 11-2 broad, caught 41 passes, 699 yards, seven touchdowns after eligibility approved for @KentState transfer), visited #Chiefs #Raiders per league source, strong Day 2 grades.…

Mitchell has better hands and works man coverage better, imo. He more instinctively attacks leverage and exploits DBs. Like creating over commitment and then bursting to create separation. I also felt he had equal acceleration and better agility when he had the switch set to on, which means to me he has a higher capability than Thomas as a route runner. I guess I figure if you are going for all upside with either of these picks, you may as well go for the one with the higher upside.

The only real question I have relates to the plays he took off, why he doesn't play with more physicality, and why he plays so much slower against zone coverage. The answer to those questions will define how early he is taken, imo, because if you can fix it, he may be the best receiver in this class.

I did a thorough breakdown of him (thorough at least for me) earlier in this thread if you are interested - both strengths and weaknesses, with specific examples cited.

Well I hope you are right and the concerns off the field drop him to us.

Nightfyre, you definitely have your opinion which I respect. We're going to strongly disagree on Thomas and Mitchell being in the same stratosphere as route runners and that doesn't favor Mitchell. That isn't to say I don't think Mitchell is capable of it, I just think Thomas is much more complete.

Earl round players who have been medically flagged by some teams, according to @SInow:

Can we start a rumor about BTJ not being able to brush his teeth with his dominant hand due to shoulder injury or something similar?

I would not think that a shoulder would be enough to drop BTJ but we can hope.

I hear you. I am also just going to leave this here. I hope Matt Harmon does something on BTJ soon, but basically I feel like Harmon's analysis lines up very well with my assessment. That's an NFL route tree with virtually zero schemed up, force fed production.

BTJ made it to 23 in today's fan vote PFF mock draft.

They provided 3-4 options per pick and fans polled their preferences live during the show.

We took WR McConkey over WR Franklin, OT Morgan, and DL Robinson.
