Ive been watching steve smith scout receivers since hes been on youtube and has been very accurate on what type of receivers they will be in the league, so i had to watch the video about our receiver mcConkey we drafted

defenders constantly catching strays from steve has gotta be some of my favorites of this series😂😂 “and look at this defender…”😭😭💀

[@turtle19dad]

“Check out #8. He was making a business decision.”😂😂😂😂

[@ifheavenwashuman]

An early second round grade for him in such a loaded class speaks volumes about his game. Don't let one of these top tier QB's get him in their offense. He's a pure chain mover, in ever sense.

Its crazy how people say Ladd isnt athletic like the other receivers, but Ladd played QB, WR, Punter, DB, kick and punt returner in highschool and was pretty good in basketball as well.

[@dicktrickle741]

He's definitely athletic, don't know if he's solid enough. His body seems pretty fragile

[@rodneyhewitt2772]

Anybody that says he's not athletic is stupid or just doesn't know ball

[@LanceUppercut]

Yea, his combine results were crazy. Athletically he tested similar to Garrett Wilson. But Steve's out here ending it unironically using the white-athlete stereotype words. I'm surprised he didn't say lunch pail, or gym rat.

[@sambo6256]

worth noting that Ladd did most of his work down field with an Average Depth of Target of 12.5. of course, quick separators like Ladd are going to be useful for those 3rd and 7 situations, but he could easily be a first read guy.

[@CallMeAlika]

His ADot was 11.8/college career but still...he separates and is very crafty. Easily see him being a favorite of Herbert.

[@user-ix2sr4vr3n]

Welcome to the bolts baby!!! Let’s get to work!!!

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

His separation is crazy though very high IQ nuances driven. He's really growing on me. I like Jalen Coker out of Holy Cross ✝️ a lot and David White jr as well sleepers

He's good for the end of round 1 or early to mid second. No later than that. He can separate and run routes. He's got homerun speed. 4.39 ain't bad whatsoever.

[@CookDaddy29]

I don't know where to rank him his work on his craft is off the charts though. End of 1st top of 2nd where he prolly goes but he does seem like more of a slot that could play outside to me. Even though he's playing outside. I don't if he got to be put in motion much but he seems like he could be great doing that & moving all over the field.

Both Kelce and Rice had over 400 snaps in the slot. I highly doubt the Chiefs are going to add a 3rd WR to try and play in the slot. They need a true X, not another slot.

Ladd McConkey…currently being mocked at the end of the 1st/beginning of the 2nd. I would be shocked if he goes in the 1st round. Cant say anything bad about McConkey’s game, He has small hands but it hasn’t effect his catching so that’s not an issue. This is a player that can play inside and outside. He didn’t produce much statically but that’s due to the offense. He’ll be an instant contributor where ever he goes.
