If last year's wr class was a 10, this year's is a solid 9, if not better

As long as the Chiefs come away with two WR's in this draft, I'll be happy. If not, it had better be because they drafted Williams or a Clive Walford. They desperately need two more reliable targets. |

Dunno if Gregory could hold up at OLB.

Sacks translate to the next level. Orchard has a variety of pass rush moves and translates speed to power very effectively. He pursues well and he's effective in dropping back into coverage as well as supporting the run. He follows the ball and play exceptionally well. He's not a complete physical freak like Beasley, but he's more pro ready and has a better skill set. He has gone up against some pretty good tackles this year including Andrus Peat, Ty Sambrailo and Jake Fisher and worked them. Quote:

WR's
Comparing the combine results and rankings of all these guys, here's what stood out to me:
1st Rounders DeVante Parker - Grade 6.18 - Strengths Consistently plays with outstanding body control. Soft hands and elite concentration are his calling cards. Credited with just three drops since 2012 Best pick at 1.18 Amari Cooper - Grade 7.0 - Only WR with 10" hands. This guy tore up the SEC. One recent mock had him going 10th to the Rams. If he's still there, I say we jump up and get him. 2nd rounders: Chris Conley - Grade 5.48 - 9 7/8" hands. Tall receiver lacking blazing speed but showcasing enough acceleration to create separation when challenging upfield. Jaelen Strong - Grade 5.8 - 9" hands. Good combination of height, weight and arm length for the position. Former high school basketball player who knows how to keep defenders on his hip. Unknown DGB - Grade 5.68 - 9" hands. "I think the consistent problems for Josh Gordon are going to leak over and hurt his draft stock. He couldn't keep himself out of trouble, had no structure growing up and didn't take coaching at Missouri. He's tall and fast and has good hands, but he can't be trusted. Why would you take a guy like that before the third day?" -- NFC director of personnel |

Cooper may have 10" hands but he isn't as consistent of a pass catcher as White or Parker are. He's had more ugly drops than he should for a top WR prospect. He also isn't nearly as good at making contested catches as those other two are.

We didn't trade up for Brandin Cooks or Odell Beckham. Why on earth would anyone assume Dorsey is going to trade up for White or Cooper?
If anything, this is the draft to trade down in the first and still pick up the same guy. Go from 18 to around 23-25, and you can still get a right tackle or first round talent WR. Pick up an extra pick in the third, which is apparently the only place we know how to draft anyway (apologies to Russell Wilson). |
I'm starting to think that we'll probably draft a couple of WRs in the 2nd to 5th round range.
