The homers are seeing a guy that put up 3,700 yards and 29 TD's in his career in a power conference. A guy who ran a 4.4 40, runs great routes, catches the ball well, played outside in high level D1, was well coached and ran multiple routes, has great character and happens to play for a local team. You can't find anyone that watched him in games or going through the draft process that don't have great things to say about him. The one knock is his size, and the easy assumption that he can only be a slot guy. He can play outside, and his skills fit this offense.
All the mock drafts had Stephone Anothony, and Laken Tomlinson, and Cedric Ogbuehi going in the 2nd or even 3rd round. Just because mock drafts "put his value as a 3rd rounder" doesn't mean it's how the NFL actually values these guys. I expect Lockett to go in the 2nd round, so if we want him, we'll have to pull the trigger at 49. Obviously all of this is my own opinion and I could be 100% wrong. But that's why I want the Chiefs to take him, not because he was a Wildcat.
All that said ---- it would be really hard not to take Kendricks if he's there at 49. It's a deep WR draft, while LB falls off after the 4th/5th guy or so.
