Then why would you not just take Franklin assuming he's there.

Certainly possible Andy wants that element back in the offense. To me it depends on what they do in FA. Mooney might be the option for that role

Man, I saw a complete career highlight video of Worthy a couple of nights ago, and that kid is tough as hell. He took some huge shots and was never even slow to get up.

And I think he has 2 elite traits. His speed is elite, and his ball tracking is absolutely elite. And he makes some ridiculous catches.

He isn't my first choice, but it he has the Chiefs pick, I would be very, very happy.

I'm a big fan of Franklin, but the Chiefs haven't leaned heavy into guys who are 6'3.

I'm just saying the history of the way the Chiefs have drafted since Reid has been here at the WR position, Worthy checks a lot of the boxes.

WR is a draft need of theirs. Seems like a pick Jerry would make.

Im hard pressed to believe that will have any impact at all. That's not a thing.

We drafted Mecole Hardman over DK Metcalf...

Sky Moore was on some mock drafts to the Chiefs in the 1st round his draft year.

I agree he shouldn't be drafted in the 1st. The negatives about him should make a person hesitate. What is said about him is his slight frame presents injury risk, struggles in press coverage and easily knocked off his route, doesn't consistently win on the outside which may translate into more of a role player at the next level.

Don't forget his route running and change of direction are also not what you would want from a tiny player.

So.

Maybe Nagy sees Worthy as a gadget slot.

The Franklin vs Worthy debate reminds me of the Flowers vs Hyatt debates of last year.

Not seeing a lot of debate about those two. Most that like one, like both. The consensus is definitely Franklin though.

Man. Drafting Worthy in the first over Franklin is an egregious mistake. The production is not there for Worthy. He’s one dimensional.

Yeah, there shouldn't be a debate at all.

Franklin bores me but at least be could be a MVS replacement.

Would I spend a 1st on that?

No, but at least that is worth 5-8 million a year in FA.

Not great value but still better value than a Skyy Moore who could be replaced with a practice squad player.
