With all the receivers this year, I think he could get pushed to the 2nd round.

 

 

He's definitely not a first rounder. If he's the second WR the Bills take, I wouldn't be sad.

Scouts have Ladd rated much higher than you and NFL.com.  Fact

Franklin and Coleman blew their combine, and both will slip to day 2 IMO

36" is no joke at WR.  Its not elite, but 6' jumping 3 feet is a big target

Doubt it!! Tape don't lie

Coleman had a dissapointing 40, but timed out towards the top on the drills

He broke ribs on his first every professional touch in the pre season...

 

Terrible omen 

He was such a cry baby. I had a friend that personally knew one of the trainers. He told my buddy that he was a huge baby about everything. Stuff where other players would play through it, but he refused.

I’m not pounding the table for the Bills to take McConkey, but Worthy measured in at 5’11 1/4” and 165 - same height as McConkey, but McConkey weighs 21 lbs more.

 

Really, neither of them fill the role that Davis played, but both of them are likely better than Davis.  I know Worthy is super fast, but he is SO slight…

 

Mitchell proved he is plenty fast and so did Legette - both considerably bigger and stronger, they would each fit the outside role.  Worthy, Mitchell and Legette on the board, who would you take if you were BB?

McConkey has this uncanny juking ability where he can start and stop on a dime juking out defenders making them miss

I'm going to be physically sick when and if the Chiefs grab him at #32.

Where’s the college production though? Worrisome and I know he was injured last year

He was productive on a per pass route basis. Georgia just didn't throw a ton/he missed a lot of time. In terms of yards per route run, he was tied for 5th in the class this year behind only Malik Nabers, Jalen Coker (FCS School), Marvin Harrison Jr., and Troy Franklin. He was merely middle of the pack in 2022 in terms of YPRR, but that's still ahead of other Day 1/2 guys such as Keon Coleman, Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, Brian Thomas, and Xavier Legette.

True. Could still be a dark horse for me because when you watch the film he constantly runs away from people at that size. Impressive.

As I said yesterday even before the Combine I found one well respected guy who had Worthy as WR4. I do not think it is crazy that he is the 4th off the board. Does sort of depend on the team though. Because I am not sure he is Trent Baulke's type. Trent likes BIG. So if Jacksonville are the 4th receiver team it won't be Worthy. If Dallas are... well they like speed he is in play there. There is even part of me that wonders about Miami. I don't think they are in the receiver market generally.... but they love track speed. Would they say "screw the OL we are gonna add Worthy to Hill and Waddle, now try and stop us"? Kansas City I can imagine loving him too. 

 

Worthy will go no later than 13th overall.  If there were a place to make a bet on it, I'd bet the farm.

Pearsall> Mcconkey imo

 

Ricky is a DOG. Great hands, adjusted catches, RAC. Yeah he’s a steal in the 2nd if he’s there. Doubt it though

He is alright… something about him just doesn’t scream star in the nfl to me. Like a faster Chris Hogan

Think the Chiefs are trading up to get a guy they want and refuse to be the last to pick first round. They had their success the past two years without Hill. Last year I’m sure made Veach and Reid realize how dangerous they can be with a field stretcher; not that they didn’t before. Just highlights it to the forefront.

He kind of runs like Josh...

 

There were 3-4 fake slides on that run alone... cheater.

Let’s face it, in this class if the Chiefs want a Wr at 32, they can get a very good one and we will not like it.

Of course, that is inevitable. I am especially fond of McConkey since I believe he is going to be an excellent player and I am an UGA fan.

I like McConkey a lot too.  I love his precision route running and soft hands.  I didn’t think he was slow from watching games, but his combine 40 was faster than I expected.

 

Just for fun, I compared him to Diggs coming out.  Basically same height and weight, McConkey ran a faster 40, pretty much the same split, just as good a vert and long jump, but Diggs’ hands are a fair bit larger and he has an inch on McConkey in arm length.  I am NOT saying McConkey will be another Diggs, but the athletic profile and size are comparable and we know that McConkey is a great route runner like Diggs is.
