Some prospects I love, and where I love them.

WR Kayshon Boutte, LSU

Kayshon Boutte is a talented player in a vacuum, and I think most fanbases would be excited to bring him in on the second day of the draft. But Chiefs fans may roll their eyes: he is a one-dimensional vertical threat who occasionally makes highlight catches and drops routine passes. He can go off for 8 catches, 250 yards one game, and then 1 catch for 13 yards the next. He is not useful throughout the route tree, but if used properly, he will put near-constant stress on the backside of every defense.

He's... WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling. And teams need that, every receiving corps need guys like that. But Chiefs fans are simply not going to excited to rake him in. But I think he is very likely to end up a 2nd day pick if the Chiefs go at another position early in the draft and/or they end up cutting Valdez-Scantling. And this is a team that needs to get faster all over its offense, and while this guy is probably valuable to almost every team in the league, HC Andy Reid should be able to utilize him better than virtually everyone else.

The Combine will obviously be critical for him, as it is for all players. What are his exact measurables? Can he hit a 4.3 40 yard dash? How do his hands look throughout the drills, and how does his stop/start look? How diverse of a tree could this guy run? And I just think that he's going to be able to answer most of these questions exactly how you'd expect someone with his skillset would, and he's going to be a good-not-great pick for someone in the 3rd round.

I really don't want to draft a guy who drops the easy ones and makes the circus catches.
