Worst? Laziest? ...this one doesn't qualify as either, but feels like counter intuitive over analysis to me.
~"Can't take WR Xavier Legette because he didn't breakout with 1,250 yards until his 5th year." ~"He's just an elite size & speed athlete with poor production." Several things come to mind: 1. Are we just going to ignore the hot hand? Momentum is a good thing. 2. Dude leveled up, something clicked, that's worth being a fan of rather than discrediting. 3. His last 1-4 years college production is similar to, or better than, a lot of other notable borderline 1st-2nd round WRs like McConkey and his comp DK Metcalf for instance. 4. These guys are still young, there's lots of room for NFL coaching to mold premium athletes into stars! See Tyreek Hill as a reference. 5. Plenty of NFL pundits are suggesting we draft a 160-170 lb WR in Worthy, Franklin, or McConkey but there's a plus size WR with similar speed available and a clear NFL ready body that can move between slot and outside WR, and win at all three levels. *Bonus = Have you heard this guy's voice!? He and Mahomes together would be so weird! *HOLY SHIT! ...I just had a premonition = The Chiefs will draft Xavier Legette, Mahomes, Kelce, and Legette will be hired to refresh the Budweiser brand image by bringing back the old bud frog gimmick ""BUD!" "WEIS?" "ER! Super Bowl commercials will feature a rotating cast of stars trying out for the 3rd frog spot, including Taylor swift, before settling on X Legette. Damn. Sometimes it's a heavy burden being so tapped into the universe. |

His history is weird/interesting. Played QB in high school. South Carolina had awful coaching in place when he got to South Carolina. COVID happened. He was injured in a car/motorcycle accident as a sophomore. The scheme was trash and the QB was trash until his last two years. His work ethic and effort have actually been consistently praised by the current coaching staff. |
A take I don't like very much is that the Chiefs go get a DT of the future.
They don't need one. Jones is under contract for years, and the rest of the DT room is bodied out with fine depth across the board. |

They don't say it publicly but they don't appear to have a problem saying it behind the scenes. Seems like nobody likes Jermaine very much... |

I'm starting to inch 'Draft Bowers and Profit!' as annoying me almost as much as the "Chiefs will take a CB" stuff.
Being the best TE in a weak TE class doesn't mean you're some set and forget badass. This guy just doesn't stand out to me. He's...good. A very good prospect. But why in God's name should I move up to grab him when I have Travis Kelce and nothing in Reid's entire history demonstrates that he needs some premier prospect to get plus production from the position? Or that ANY team has unlocked a rosetta stone for finding first round talent at TE. The bust rate on 1st round TEs is insane. And the hit rate for mid/late rounders is higher than most positions. |

The talent is worth it. I still see a lot of Stafon Diggs with him. |
So was there a coach/pundit questioning Legette's efforts you can point to online? ...maybe I'm misinterpreting the above, but I'd be really interested to hear that take!
I thought I heard Chris Sims complain about 2 of these 3: Legette, Coleman, or Mitchell about taking plays off but I can't recall 100%. Just curious. |
