Anyone questioning this pick needs to consider that it just might push Albert Wilson further down the depth chart. That's a win.

Chiefs traded up with the Vikings to select Michigan WR Jehu Chesson with the No. 139 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

Chesson (6’2/204) made 25 starts for the Wolverines, collecting a 114-1,639-12 (14.4 YPR) career receiving line and returning a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown as a junior. He earned first-team All-Big Ten from the conference’s coaches in 2015, but slipped to honorable mention last year. Chesson did help himself in Indy, running 4.47 and showing explosion in the broad jump (11’). Turning 24 later this year, Chesson is old-ish for a rookie and was a body catcher on tape, also struggling to make much happen after the catch. Chesson profiles as a short-area possession receiver who may best fit in the slot.

Couldn't agree more. So many CB'S, We needed a ILB also and some more beef in the middle of our line. We gotta be better at stopping the run, so far this draft hasn't helped that at all.

On the bright side, the 3 positions we drafted were on the need list. QBOFT, DL (Pass rusher) depth & RB. And now a WR! Must be a future pick for Mahomes because we have enough weapons now that Alex can't find!

I think he has all the makings of a WR1 with great size and speed in the 4.4's. Added bonus: he gets to start working with QBOTF straight away. He's a steal.

Is this a troll? I admit I know nothing about this player, but I haven't read a single scouting report that lists his route running or run after catch ability as pluses. Most of them say these are things he struggles with.

Classic Dorsey pick

He was good in 2015 but lost a step after a knee injury. Hopefully he gets that back.

Okay, I'll say it.

Albert Wilson is annoying. He gets shit thrown his way constantly that can go for big plays, but he doesn't dive.

He gets open, though. He runs within the offense. He will get you out of trouble if everything's going right for him. That's a base-level thing he does for us.

Chesson could do so much more than that, but from learning about him, it's tough to think he'll achieve that base level requirement to be effective for us.

And we traded UP to get him, too.

One 5th and one 6th round pick left for Dorsey. Thanks for the QB, Dorsey, but you're gonna have to do a ****ton better than this.

****ing hilarious

Some draft reports call this guy possession receiver who is limited, while others are saying that he is a 50-50 ball winner with speed and great YAC potential.

Translation? - Nobody knows this guy.

We still don't have an ILB from this draft and just traded up for a truly questionable pick.

Apart from Mahomes (which makes this an A either way), I really don't like this draft.

From my Michigan friend:

Quote:

What do you expect it's a 4th round player. He's big and got speed. Will help out on special teams. He could be a red zone guy and he's a good blocker. He slumped from 2015 to 16. But he's had 3 different QBs in 3 years and this last year we ran the ball a ton bc that's what Harbaugh likes to do. And we didn't take many shots downfield

pugsnotdrugs19 04-29-2017 12:03 PM

They have to have Hodges in mind at ILB.

They should've taken Robert Davis. #2 SPARQ (Chesson is 14th, btw); bigger, stronger, faster and far more productive.

I don't understand this pick at all.

Trade for Kendricks for the love of God.
