Totally fine with Adonai but Latham is RT so I pass. Now if you would have said Mims I say yes.
No the kid was a killer in HS. But the comp was small town Iowa. Played both sides did it all. His coach got someone from Iowa to come watch him, boom scholarship. Last year Iowa had close to zero offense. He went in and convinced the coaches to play him both ways. Got hurt in practice playing offense. He a baller.
Especially when the rest of his mock draft has just one other team taking a WR between 24 and the 32nd pick they already had. If there was going to be a big run on WRs then sure, I get it. But that trade seems more like "I want to write a mock that is different than everyone else's" than it does based in any sort of realistic world.pdub wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 9:13 am ESPNs latest mock:

Kansas City GM Brett Veach isn't shy about moving up for prospects that he likes in Round 1. We've seen it in past years, with K.C. trading up for players such as Patrick Mahomes and Trent McDuffie. So why not do it again for a reliable pass-catcher?
24. Kansas City Chiefs (via mock trade with DAL)
Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
Mitchell is a perfect fit in the Chiefs' scheme and can play inside or outside for them.”
No freaking way do you give up all that to jump 8 spots for a WR you have maybe a 25-30 percent chance at getting without moving. No way.
If you can move JUST that 3rd to jump some, ok I guess.
I've seen Thomas off the board anywhere from 15 to 23 in most drafts. But sure, IF he was there when the Chiefs picked then I'd love to see the Chiefs snag him. I think one of the two Texas WRs seems more likely.
...welp.
I think this is a bit harsh. The pick is a B- or a B for me. It would be much higher if our recent history with receivers wasn’t … one success story and then bad.pdub wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:43 am “28. Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo Bills): Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas - Grade: C
The excitement of handing Patrick Mahomes the new record holder for the 40-yard dash is understandable. Even Mahomes himself, who reached out to the speedster after the receiver burned a 4.21-second run, seemed excited at the prospect of teaming up. But anyone convinced that the defending champions just found the next Tyreek Hill should cool their jets. While Worthy's game-breaking speed means he might only require a handful of opportunities to put his imprint on any matchup, the equilibrium of the Chiefs' receiving corps might be a little out of whack. If Rashee Rice serves a significant suspension due to his recent arrest, can Kansas City count on the rail-thin Worthy and uneven Marquise "Hollywood" Brown to carry the load? Defenses will only ramp up their efforts to deny Mahomes big plays, and Worthy will need to show he can hold up against more physical NFL defensive backs. With enough fireworks from Mahomes and Worthy, this assessment could easily prove flawed, though.“

Oh, no, an opponent is going to have to commit a defender to taking away the top. If only we had Rice and Kelce and Pacheco to tear them apart underneath.pdub wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:43 am “28. Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo Bills): Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas - Grade: C
