What are your predictions for how the chiefs rank the wrs
 

In terms of fit. I know some experts post here so I’m curious how kc ranks the wrs and then also on your prediction for who we take in the 1st

1.Williams
2. Wilson
3. Olave
4. Burks
5. London
6. Pickens
7. Dotson
8. Moore
9. Watson
10. Tolbert
11. Metchie

That would be my guess on their top 10.

I’m not sure if burks is even on their board since him and juju are so similar and I think juju was signed for one specific role

My guess is:

1. Wilson
2. Olave
3. Williams
4. London
5. Moore
6. Dotson
7. Pickens
8. Burks
9. Watson
10. Metchie

Prediction for the 1st? Man, that's a tough guess.

I'm going to put on my "reality goggles" and go off some recent info on a few players and go with this:

They trade 1-29 and 4-121 to go to 1-26 with Tennessee and they take DT Devonte Wyatt.
At 1-30 they take WR Skyy Moore.

Oops, don’t know how I forgot about Williams. He’s definitely #1 IMO.

Totally disagree. Oddly enough, Burks can do a lot of the stuff that Tyreek did. He makes even more sense after the trade.

JuJu is also on a 1 year deal, would make no sense to pass on a guy because he's too similar to a guy who might not even be a Chief the following year

I agree 100%, my preference however would probably be for Pickens or Burks, or go DE and hope Watson is there at #50. Neither is as polished as Moore, maybe, but I like the upside they bring and they fit our new Big AND Fast requirements at WR. JuJu, MVS, Pickens/Burks is a damn physical WR core!

my gut feeling is they take Moore as well, with the 30.

The ****? Juju and Burks aren’t similar WRs.

They need an X WR. That will be the priority for at least 1 WR IMO.

Quite a few viable options possibly all the way through the third round and into the fourth.

Burks, Pickens, Watson, Pierce, Ekuzanma for example.

If they liked Mecole I could see them liking Jameson and Pickens a lot.

I think this is as close to what the Chiefs have ranked without actually knowing as we can get.

My top 3 for the Chiefs are Williams, Burks and Pickens.

One of those would be great, Two of those would be a home run!

I’m torn between Moore and Pickens if both there when we pick.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the guy they really covet is Olave. I'm not sure Williams is even #2 on their list but that's just me spitballing.

Not me. Pickens has the far higher ceiling.

I disagree.

I know you guys are sick of the Williams talk, but he’s a perfect fit if we’re just talking what their board would be all things even.

All things aren't even, though. That's the fundamental issue with the people wanting Williams.

By all accounts, he’s way ahead of schedule, and there’s no reason to think he doesn’t make a full recovery. It’s very likely that he will play this year too.

It’s still not enough for me personally to drop him from the #1 spot, and I don’t think it would be for the Chiefs either.

Agreed. Not only is Burks on their board, he's near the top, IMO.

If he's healthy, he's not dropping. We'd have to trade up. Why? When there's so many other guys available?

I'd MUCH rather have Burks at 29/30 than trading up for anybody.

Dude, who said anything about trading up? Lol

This discussion is simply about what the Chiefs board would look like.

All things being equal, I think the team ranks them:

1) Jameson Williams
2) Garrett Wilson
3) Chris Olave
4a and 4b) Treylon Burks and Drake London
6a and 6) Christian Watson or George Pickens
8a and 8b and 8c) Skyy Moore and Jahan Dotson and John Metchie III
11a and 11b) Jalen Tolbert and Alec Pierce

I'd probably have Burks a few slots lower in my own ranking, behind Metchie, who I think is criminally underrated in this draft.

If he ain't dropping and they ain't trading up, how would he be on their board?

Umm you realize that every team makes a board and starts with the best player in the draft, right?

1.Williams
2. Olave
3. Wilson
4. Watson
5. Pickens
6. London
7. Burks
8. Moore
9. Dotson
10. Tolbert
11. Austin

Of course...

As I said before, all things not being equal I believe they would have Wilson and Olave before Williams.

Juju is under contract for one year. Even if they are similar they wouldn't pass on drafting him just because of a player not here beyond 2022.

This is pretty much my "board" if I were to have one. I have no scouting talent but from the research I've done and opinions I've read, along with watching highlights I think this is about perfect. I'd probably rank Pickens above Watson just based on competition faced.

I like Pickens and Watson fairly equally. Both have some questions marks.

Neither one has incredible college production after being at incredibly run-dominated college programs.

Pickens has had some injury and maturity issues. Watson has competition/level of plays and drops questions.

Pickens is more mature as a route-runner, though he's not Olave or Dotson or Garrett Wilson, the real route technicians at the top of this group. He has better hands and has shown the ability to track the ball deep better, and is a "snatchier" receiver.

Watson is visibly more explosive and elusive with the ball in his hands (even accounting for the difference in competition levels).

I really don't see a clear separator. They both block like maniacs, which is nice. Pair either one with Smith-Schuster and Valdes-Scantling, and you've got an incredibly effective blocking trio of WR. YAC galore for guys who catch the ball... or for the run game.

In terms of fit, I see Jameson Williams, hands down #1. But can we trade up to get him?
And here's an idea that may ruffle some feathers. How about at 50 we get Wan Dale Robinson and at 62 we get Calvin Austin. Robinson and Austin together would be electric. I can see the ESPN highlights already!!!

i would be happy if we somehow got both Watson and Pierce without having to move up to get them. Final answer.

Defense needs too much attention to sell the future to move up to get him. My hope is that we can get the best of both worlds leaning more towards the defense with a sprinkle of offense.

You guys are basically just giving the typical rankings of them. Maybe you’re pushing London down because he’s not a very wco style wr

I don't like that London is refusing to run a 40

I have a feeling pickens is towards the top if we are going based on what our past offense had lookes like.

Olave
Williams
Pickens
Moore
Wilson
Metchie
Dotson
Burks
London

Because it’s tough to know what they’re looking for. On one hand, it seems like they want bigger WRs, but on the other, they might be looking for a guy to replace Tyreek.

That’s fine. If that happens, somebody else will fall at a different position.

See, I like them both, and would take either or both in round two; but the deep ball tracking is something that we will miss from Hill; it's honestly the biggest thing that Hardman can't give you that Hill did. I like 'em both; but I lean Pickens.

BUT with the injury history...man, it's close.

I like Pierce just about as much, too, so there's that.

I'd agree with your sentiment regarding Pickens. I would've ranked the WR similar at the top but would've had them differently at the bottom. I also believe the Chiefs are high on Pickens though.

Pickens is not in the same league as Watson for me. His speed, burst and acceleration are crazy. Pickens is lanky and his change of direction is more like a baby deer when compared to Watson. Watson is also electric with the ball in his hands. He’s a real burner.

I’ve been wondering about the competition issue but simms isn’t concerned in the video below. He’s wrong about the mike evans, claypool and Dk comparison because those guys are much thicker, bigger wrs. But I agree with how crazy Watsons speed is. Take a look at simms top 5 wr rankings.

https://youtu.be/iUD6NldZBO8

I'm a fan of both. I would not be upset if the Chiefs drafted either one of them in the first or early 2nd (trade back). I hope the Chiefs double dip though at WR with only 1 WR on the roster in 2023.

I found Sims' take on Alec Pierce interesting.

I like that he's a bit more polished than, say, Watson.

None of the injury concerns of Pickens.

Obviously played a high level of competition.

Would be a great pick at either of the 2nd round spots.

So much talk about "Chiefs trading up to replace Tyreek" that it seems smokescreeny to me.

I'm surprised he isn't getting talked about more.

Yep.

Just makes no sense they'd do that. I'm sure they like some of those guys but this just screams "look at my hand over here while I do this in the other".

Would-be electric to see us go up with #29 for J Williams and also nab Pickens with one of the following two picks. Whoo boy, high-risk, high reward! I also like Burks, and Watson to a lesser degree.

I don't mind double-dipping the other direction either, x2 DL with the first 4 picks would be a ton of fun as well... Karlaftis, Wyatt, Mafe, Ojabo, Ebikitie, Enagbare, Thomas or Leal.

They have yet to have any pre draft meetings today or visits with any DEs. At least none that have been reported.

And what’s our biggest need?

Trying to replace Tyreek is just an obvious take, of course people are going to constantly throw that out there.

Not bringing in DEs isnt fooling anyone either. EVERYONE knows thats a real weakness for us.

Yup and yep.

It's an obvious take but I'm not sure that's what they're after. People look at the Jameson Williams visit and instantly think "WE'RE TRADING INTO THE TOP 10 TO GET HIM!!!!!".

When in reality, it's more likely that they brought him in to see how his rehab is going. It's more likely that if he falls, which I don't think he will, to the late teens and early 20s....that they would look at possibly trading up.

I would put the "trade into the top 15 scenario" in the less than 5% chance it happens category.

I agree 100%

Brett Kollmann's review on the WR class, interesting takes as I would say his biggest discrepancy would be having Pickens in the tier 1 of receivers, Olave and Treylon Burks lower than most. I actually think his comparison of Burks to Cordarelle Patterson is spot on.

Great video!

This draft is much deeper than I thought at WR. Didnt really know about Kyle Phillips but if hes anything like Renfrow I would love a guy like that.

Really starting to like Pierce more and more.

Have had Pickens as one of my Faves and not so high on Watson but the injury concerns with Pickens and the ceiling on Watson, I may have to re think that.

Drake London isnt even on my list for the Chiefs but he is impressive.

Jameson Williams totally looks like Tyreek out there. He would be a dream come true but only if he falls to late teens or 20ish.

I have to disagree with you on Burks. He is better than Drake London, he can do all the same things but also take it to the house. He is a bigger Deebo and that is awesome!

I really want to double dip at WR and Edge in the first two rounds but as long as we get at least one top WR, this draft is deep enough that we can still get another very good one later.

Thanks for posting that.

1. JuJu
2. Mecole
3. MVS
4. 1st Rd WR
5. Lou Gehrig Dieter
6. Byron Pringle

I actually agree from my own personal review of the film.

Are we trading for Pringle?

I think you guys need to check out Tyquan Thornton. Taller frame who runs a 4.28. He’d be dangerous in this offense and can probably be had at 62 or 94

62 or 94? He can probably be had in the 4th round…

I don’t think he make it out of the top 100. Dude ran a 4.28. Those guys don’t fall to day 3 often.

Calvin Austin might because he’s as tall as Danny DeVito but I don’t think Thornton falls that far.

I haven’t seen a single reliable person that has him in the top 100.

But Austin on the other hand is a consensus top 100 player.

Yea, Ian Cummings, whoever that is, saying that he’s in the conversation doesn’t really change anything for me.

I just don’t see enough top 100 buzz for him to buy this.

And by the way, he’s not in Pro Football Network’s top 100 either.

Fine with me. Take him at 103 and get an enormous steal as Andy uses that speed. He’s absolutely as good as Hardman in this offense IMO

103 I can see, but I’d rather wait for a Velus Jones or Bo Melton in the 4th if that’s truly where his value is.

Keep an eye on Danny Gray too. Really intrigued by that kid

Yes, you can add him to that list as well. I’d be happy with any of those 4 guys in round 1.

They’re perfect if we draft a guy like Pickens early.

Is it possible we’re targeting the taller wrs in this draft?

It is possible.

I hate these takes, like really hate them. Oh the Chiefs have 12 picks and a lot in the top 100 they should use those to go replace Hill. Do they even take a look at our roster?

Yep. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

I really hate the “Chiefs have twelve picks” take. Yeah….and 4 of them are in the 7th round. Nobody wants those.

I think if want to draft a WR in the first a minor move up may be necessary.

I don't see us going into the top 15 but a move to low 20's to grab one of Olave or Burks makes sense.

If we are unable to get either of them I would just grab Shakir with a 2nd round pick, like him better than Watson and others people are mentioning.
