I'd be more than fine with McMillan in rd 2. Ideally we get a guy with size and speed if we use a pick in rd 1

Franklin isn't Dell, Mims, etc.

He's a better prospect than those guys were, and he's just thin like them, not small overall.

You know how normal people react to being wrong? They at least acknowledge it.

Bet you can't find a single play of Thomas Jr. being timed that fast.

How exactly did you do that?

You haven’t proven anything other than you love the tall, faster skinny Skyy Moore.

So even worse you just stick your fingers in your ear and yell like a child.

I posted a play of his speed translating on the field, and RunKC posted a tweet showing that he was running 22.3 MPH on said play.

22.3 MPH is his speed translating on the field.

This is just bad faith at this point.

Doesn’t translate because not enough other traits in combination.

Then again, you said John Ross’s speed translated well so here we are.

You're completely and utterly full of fucking shit.

Just like with Franklin, I've posted a video of Ross's speed clearly translating in the NFL. Speed is not the reason why Ross failed, and it won't be the reason Franklin fails if he does.

Speed is speed dude. You either have it or you don't. You either show it on the field or you don't. Both guys have it and have showed it on the field.

Did you get excited over JAGami Brown?!

:-)

Was he going to be a terror as well?

"Excited"? I don't know about that. I thought he was a good day 2 prospect. I didn't think he has elite speed like Franklin does, so not sure what the point of you brining him up is?

Definitely never used the word "terror" to describe either guy.

Since you want to be a passive agressive bundle of sticks and pretend like you're the WR guru though:

Seth Williams has WR 1 upside. You don't wait till the 3rd for that.

I do want to make sure there are no character, maturity flags but his tape says Draft Me.

I'm all in on Xavier Worthy. I want absolutely nothing to do with Adonai Mitchell though. Mitchell's only semi productive season was last year and then factor in that 399 yds/845 yds(47%) came in just 3 games. I don't think you spend a 1st or 2nd round picks on a dude that had 1 decent year and only had that because he had a few good games. You pick that kind of guy in the 4th round or later.

My WR boards have stood up very well. Just going off them Chiefs would have done far better than 1 hit in 6 years.

:-)

It must be your time of the month again. Time to change your tampon.

This is what passive agressive people do. You are the one that acted like an asshole bringing up Dyami Brown and being a little bundle of sticks, so I respond accordingly, and now I'm the one that needs to change my tampon?

You claimed Franklin's speed doesn't translate on the football field, I proved it does, then you started moving goalposts and acting like a passive agressive bundle of sticks. That's exactly what happened here, not whatever happened in your alternate reality.

I am sorry that basic reading comprehension is so difficult for you

Running fast in a straight line doesn’t make a player dynamic in the NFL if they have no other traits to pair with that.

Good initial release, fast once he reaches top speed.

Acceleration not great.

Routes not great.

Weak, bean pole body.

Not great when ball in air.

Tell me how Frankin is going to get to run by actual good corners in the NFL?

Sure, if it’s zone and he just runs fast into a window great

You think that’s worth a 1st round pick.

I don’t .

My reading comprehension is just fine. You said his speed doesn't translate on the the field. Now you're just moving the goalposts to include things that have nothing to do with that.

His acceleration is great.

His routes not being great have nothing to do with his speed, and while they certainly need work, he's MUCH better than a guy like Hyatt or Watson coming out.

"Weak, bean pole body" again nothing to do with speed.

Speed is speed. He has it. He's shown it. That's the argument I've been making from the beginning. You claimed he hasn't shown it on the field, then when I proved he did, you moved the goalposts.

If I nail 4 players but am wrong on one that’s the player that will be brought up.

The standards will be raised higher for me than actual NFL decision makers
Seems like a losing proposition unless it was my board vs the person questioning it.

But no one questioning me has the balls to do THAT.
