Troy Franklin fits the bill of a wide receiver the Chiefs usually target. In a loaded wide receiver class, the Chiefs may have an opportunity to draft him or even trade back to select him.
Good post. I think most Chiefs fans are going to hate this idea because of the MVS comps (as I know you're aware), but which scenario makes the Chiefs' offense more dynamic?
* Trading up for for BTJ
* Trading down for Troy Franklin and a 3rd rounder like Malik Washington or Jalen McMillan
I think it might actually be the second option, and (very importantly) it prevents the team from paying a King's Ransom in draft capital to secure the position. If those players all "hit," it also gives you more flexibility with the cap moving forward. Admittedly, BTJ is more likely to hit than most (all?) 2nd or 3rd round guys.
There's a really a gluttony of options at WR this year. If the Chiefs do their homework (and they do) it should be difficult for them not to significantly improve the position, despite any implicit collusion by other teams to stymie their trade options. If they don't significantly improve from where they are now, I think the most likely reason is that it was by choice, deciding to invest in other positions instead.
I think these stats are wrong. 6’1.7 not 6’3 and came in at 178 not 187. Most importantly he had poor, not elite shuttle times (4.31 - that’s Q3 historically).
I’m not saying I’ll start crying if the Chiefs don’t pick a WR in the first or second round, but I’m not not saying it.
