Welcome Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia

[powderblueboy]

The Chiefs drafted a Gadget receiver at the end of the first...we have ours with our 4th round pick from last year....

the principal discussion on the Chief's planet draft thread Thursday, leading up to the draft, was whether or not to draft McConkey at #32.... it was evenly divided.

Steve Smith Sr. Breaks down Ladd McConkey...

[Duck of Death]

Everyone has a take so here’s mine:

- Ladd would’ve been my choice at #23, had they traded down. I was texting my football buddies the night before that they absolutely HAD to go get this guy. So yeah, to say I am elated is an understatement.

- Straight up, he is uncoverable. His snap down before breaks is unreal. He made SEC DBs look silly, & he did it again at the Senior Bowl. Best route runner in the draft & that’s saying a lot, Before long, he will be considered among the best route runners in the NFL. Seriously, I mean no hyperbole here - he is that good.

- High character guy. I guarantee he will not be another Crashee Rice.

Was gonna say imagine Ladd with.....woah Hunter Renfrow is a free agent?

Can we get this guy a helmet that fits him 1st?

Jeez, he looks like a bobble head. I’ve watched a lot of his tape and games over the last year and I could never put my finger on why he looked out of place at times. I think it’s his helmet is 3 sizes too big for his head.

I hope their WR is bust then.

Watching McConley's highlights, so often he was lined up on the outside at X while Bowers was in the slot.

Yeah I think a lot of people unfortunately assume he was only going to be a slot only WR in the NFL.

The guy they drafted is 160lbs or something, he makes McConkey look like an OL.
