Potential 1st round Targets

[staylor26]

WR:

Troy Franklin, Oregon
Adonai Mitchell, Texas
Xavier Worthy, Texas
Ladd McConkey, Georgia

OT:

Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma
Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
Jordan Morgan, Arizona

CB:

Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama


Typically, we draft a guy from this list every year that I've been doing it.

Anybody you guys feel should/shouldn't be on there?

I'd say Worthy would be one of the WR's.

I am kinda sneaky thinking CB might be a spot they'd look at.

Jer'Zhan Newton

And you must mean Byron Murphy II as your DT.

Yes, got him mixed up with an old DT prospect lol.

And I'm not putting Newton in there, because I ultimately see no chance that he makes it to our range.

If you have Murphy in there, I think you have to have Newton.

It's obviously very early, but Murphy seems to be nearly a consensus top 15-ish pick.

You're probably right, but I've also seen a lot of people with Murphy in our range, so for now I'll keep him on the list. Very likely he's not on it a month from now though, I agree.

Tyler Guyton makes alot of sense. I'm not a huge fan, but I see the appeal.

If there is any shred of truth to us wanting Mazi Smith last year, then I'd have T'Vondre Sweat on this list.

Personally, I'd have Xavier Worthy on the list too. I know he's not on everyone's 1st round list but he is going top 45 IMO.

[Couch-Potato]

I second T'Vondre Sweat and Xavier Worthy, and I'd add Xavier Legette to the bottom of the WR list if we're also including Sanders. I think both have an early 2nd round grade. I'm personally not an A. Mitchell fan, his play speed looks too slow to me, someone talk me into him!?

If Jones is back, then I'm leaning OT in the 1st and grabbing a WR in the 2nd again.

I think this might be the smart choice and the direction we end up going, ultimately. We won this year with Rice at WR alone. Protecting Mahomes is more important than providing him weapons. He IS the weapon.

I just don't like the likely options at OT. It's a lot of guys who will need a good year to get up to speed imo and that's a position it's hard to take that risk on. Quite a few look like they're technically more advanced than Morris, but not necessarily better athletes.

I know people hate it but I'm still interested in Tyron Smith at LT in FA. If he holds up that is an elite LT. A big IF.

Interesting name, he's solid and affordable, just a bit old. Maybe on a 2-yr stop gap contact similar to Smith and Taylor, and let a young OT develop behind him.

If a LT is available at 32....that's just what youre gonna get.

Yep, especially if we can also bring in a FA WR in addition. That would be a dream scenario IMO.
