Admittedly, I don't really dig in deep on college football players until the season ends. For me, there's just too much noise, too many teams, too many players to really gauge anything beyond the obvious 1st round guys, especially when my attention is already super invested in the Chiefs & NFL.
That said, as I watch the Chiefs, my interest in thinking about our next draft gets me excited, so much to the point that I'm interested in carving out time mid-week (Wednesdays?) to try and watch some highlights.
So, who are you watching that would be a good fit for this roster next season? First round talent is great, but also some under the radar guys would be cool to get an early jump on. [Reply]

Doesn't Treylon Burks seem like something of a middle ground between the two? Seems a little more agile than London, a little bigger and more explosive than Olave.
I like Burks, as well. Though I was a little surprised at how agile and fluid London appears to be.
Burks seems like a better-receiving version of Laviska Shenault. [Reply]

I like his size/speed combo, and he made a couple decent catches while covered and/or in traffic. I liked his breakaway from the pack on the play at 6:03.
I didn't like that he seemed a little whiny and demonstrative when the play failed or his QB didn't see him, but I imagine it would be pretty frustrating to have that be your entire college experience, especially so in a big game, so maybe not a big deal. Not an issue in KC with Mahomes.
