That's why I used his name. That was the joke. We like 'em slow.

Never mind about Boyd! 4 picks until we take Jerry Rice.

Much rather have Khristian Boyd than Gabe Hall. Of course, what they hell do I know!

He looks very good. Never there when I wanted him in my countless mocks so kept taking Beau Limmer!

Milano needs to drill McDaniel on the sideline and break his stupid glasses.

That one hurts. Not getting Washington is a bummer, him going to Miami is physically painful. Guess we are all-in on Flourney. Geez.

That's the other one I was trying to think of - to me that is the value of having a couple 7th rounders laying around. You get to pick your UDFAs and leave them on lay-away. Save Brock Purdy of course.

There is supposed to be another very good one, forgot his name.

Don't be shocked if we take a punter. Bean still mad about Punt God.

If he is around, would really like Christian Boyd. One tech when DaQuan done. Can rotate now. Did Malik Washington and Rice steal something and nobody told me? It is bad enough we don't want them, but I don't get that NOBODY wants them. I was mocking Washington to us at 128 and usually not getting him. Get our new Beasly!

I really like Thrash and Washington, so don't abandon all hope on the wideout! We will take another. They had Flourney on a visit.

Happy with this pick. We have addressed 3 of our biggest needs. Let's hope they picked the right guys - only time will tell.

Feels like CHIEFS panicked. They knew we were not taking Worthy -- had to have realized that or been told that in our discussion. So they gave up a nice little package to jump Baltimore and SF? Good move Beane! This board would have called Baltimore stupid if they took Worthy and been cheering because Legette and McConkey were still there. This is well played by Beane, IMHO.

Love this trade for us -- two more in the top 100. Didn't want worthy, so happy!

Would not hate this. There are a few non-receivers I would sure like to have on five year deals. The problem is when I do mocks (and I have done an embarrassing number on every simulator), there are no wideouts I want left by 60 save Roman Wilson and Piersall -- and those two are there only some of the time. If we go non-WR in the first, unless we move up I think we step down in class to people I like, but don't like enough - Thrash, Baker, Malik Washington, Rice, McCaffrey. I am fine with all of those, but not as the best wideout we get from this draft. I think we need a receiver #1 - it is a premium position and the talent is there to lock up a good one on a cheap five year deal. Tempting, but he is built like a walking stick. Have you seen photos of his legs? Look like wrists! The best explanation I heard -- and maybe it was Marino - is that what counts is separation. If they are all separators, some similarity should not be a detriment.

This would be equally fine with me! If that's what the team thinks. But I kind of hope they go with one of those two (McConkey or Legette) in round 1 and get the other in the combo in round 4 or even 5 (Malik Washington could last).

Unfortunately a Gabe replacement is a bag of balls. Me too. Tez Walker and I bust my phone.

Thanks. Couldn't find where I put this, so I re-did it!

Curious - if you had to chose between Legette and McConkey at 28 -- who do you take? Personally I take McConkey (but I really like Legette too). My thinking is -- McConkey is may be the best separator in the draft. If a receiver can separate Josh will find him (as he found Beasly). After Harrison and Odumze, other than Legette, there are not big-bodied X's I truly love. I like Thomas, but I assume he is gone (and he is not really a size match-up problem). I don't trust Mitchell or Franklin, do not like Coleman or Walker. I would take McConkey and be sure to get Brendan Rice later. While he has some limitations, all scouting reports seem to say that the 6'4" Rice has elite acceleration and can really take the top off. Having an X that can do that would be great. Shakir and McConkey can be really strong mixed through as the Z and slot. Both of them can get deep as well. Personally, I would take McConkey, Defense at 60, move up from 128 to get Rice and spend the rest of my picks on defense (save maybe an IOL and very late RB (like pick 248)). Thoughts?

Agree with the idea that teams will try to fleece Beane. But Beane has a counter - it is a deep draft and I am not punished that much if I wait. I am not pro trade-up, but I am hoping that if he tries Beane is too smart to get fleeced.

Thanks bro, I have done about 10,000 of them. My wife is sick of my drafting. I liked this one 🙂 Meant as a reply to New Era's "this would be a helluva draft"

If you had to take one of those two in the first, who do you like? I would take McConkey because I believe in his ability to separate as much as anyone in the draft, but I really like Legette at 28 too. If I were king, I would take McConkey plan for him and Shakir to man the Z and the slot, go defense at 60, and make sure I get Brendan Rice later to be our X with size. Rice should last for a while and we should go up and get him, IMHO. Every review of his game says whatever shortcomings he has, he has immediate acceleration and can take the top off. There is a shortage of big X type receivers after the top 3 (the others I see are Legette who I really like, Mitchell and Franklin, who I worry about, and Walker, who I do NOT like). McConkey, [Defense], Rice, [Defense the rest of the way, save maybe an interior lineman and a very late RB]. Do this and I am thrilled

For those of us liking McConkey (among a couple other wideouts), I liked this 7 round draft with no trades. I would be very, very happy with this. Think these players would be available where I drafted them? 28 Ladd McConkey WR | Georgia A 60 Tyler Nubin S | Minnesota A+ 128 Brenden Rice WR | USC B+ 133 DeWayne Carter DL | Duke A+ 144 Zak Zinter IOL | Michigan A+ 160 Nehemiah Pritchett CB | Auburn A+ 163 McKinnley Jackson DL | Texas A&M B+ 200 Cedric Johnson EDGE | Mississippi A+ 204 Jordan Magee LB | Temple A+ 248 Cody Schrader RB | Missouri A+

I am hoping somebody wants a QB and like someone like Penix or Nix and they are still there. That could give us a good trade down opportunity. I agree with the poster, we need 4 in the top 100, but I think getting to 115 or so for the fourth "top 100" pick could be sufficient. I also think our 2nd for Diggs can more or less be turned into a third this year (might have to add a very late pick to get it done), and that the later draft capital we have could turn 128 into something within 15 of pick 100 without gutting our draft. But I trust Beane - so nice to have a quality GM after decades of subpar team administration.
