What does McConkey do significantly better than the guys who will be available in the 2nd?

I agree - bring back Donovan Smith while they develop. Chiefs are a prime landing spot for someone who has all the talent and desire but lacks the development.

What is the point of taking a tackle in the draft if you don't intend them to start?
This team already has Wanya Morris. If you're not taking a tackle that you believe can start on day one at LT, then just sign Donovan Smith. |

I don't think Morris is that guy. If the organization does, they won't take an OT in the 1st. For the reasons you stated - there are no turnkey day 1 starting OTs likely to be there at 32. Though I think there are some with a chance to start, if the organization likes Morris they won't think that chance is appreciably higher than Morris has. I just don't. So I'd rather go with someone like Morgan or Kingsley who I think will be better than Morris almost immediately and certainly long-term. In the interim, you bring Smith back as insurance.

McConkey's film doesn't pop. Skyy's film didn't pop either. I'm in the underwhelmed group. I've never been a fan of players that I have to sell myself on post-pick. In that vein, McConkey would join CEH, Skyy, FAU, Kinnard, and Kaindoh in terms of the most recent classes.

I like the idea of McConkey lined up next to Kelce, Hollywood, and Rice (provided his dumb ass isn't suspended) more than the idea of "just" taking McConkey, if that makes sense.
His speed is just "alright", especially in this offense, but his route running ability and splits are damned near elite and play very well with Mahomes feeding him the ball. |

This is why I think Amarius Mims or Tyler Guyton are probably the best bet at LT. They’re gonna have to trade up.

Well, because he was the top guy on your board and you think he'll start someday.

Now when you change that to specifically guys that will be available at the very end of the 2nd round, I'd say he's probably a significantly better prospect than most of the guys that will be available. Doesn't mean there won't be one that's relatively close though. It's a deep draft. |

After signing Brown, I’m okay if they draft Ladd. We all bitched last year how receivers weren’t getting open and Ladd looks great at getting separation.

I think Ladd would be a great fit and have said so in other threads. I think we go OT in first round, or if we trade out of 32 take Ladd if he's available in the early 2nd after a trade. IF we took him at 32, I think he will be a solid 1st year contributor, but a little of a reach.
