WR Jordan Addison, USC
Perhaps my favorite WR prospect in this draft that the Chiefs have a realistic shot to add, Addison is a perfect addition to a team that needs to gather man-beaters at the WR position. Addison is a certified man-beater. He runs clean routes. He's great after the catch. He can run a full route tree and gain separation at every level except the deepest.
There are no weaknesses to his game, but because he doesn't have elite size (but not undersized), or elite speed (but not slow), he's not going to get the top of the 1st projection that he otherwise deserves. He is a bigger Jerry Jeudy, as failsafe a prospect as there is at the bottom of the 1st round, at any position. He has so many subtleties to his route-running and great hands and a huge catching radius. He really is a complete receiver, even if he isn't elite in size or speed.
It's not enough to call him a jack of all trades. This is a guy who is going to have a starting WR base and has Pro Bowl potential as almost any receiver position you could slot him into. He may not make it to the bottom of the first, but if he does, they should strongly consider jumping on him.
