[TheSpecialJuan]

KC Concepcion is a favorite for pick 19. I expect it to be him unless something wacky happens. We’ll see!!

I think the team is telling each insider a different person

I did my personal mock this morning and ended up going this route with Sadiq and Thienaman still on the board. Now it feels wrong.

I feel at best KC would be the 15th best option at pick 19.....even stowers could be above him, for me he's up for 51, but not 19.....if that happens repeat of 2024 success. KO is like the 10th best WR, he's a late 2nd type of guy..

Nobody credible really thinks this.

They did a great job last year of having everyone expecting pass rusher at #9 when they were keying on T-Mac all along. I believe them on that because every edge rusher who could've conceivably been available at #9 was still on the board and we drafted T-Mac. Being further down the draft hoard this year with needs all over the roster we can leave bread crumbs all over the place. And in reality, we have to be flexible with our wish list. The further down the board you get the more unpredictable it is who'll be available. 

I'll be honest though, Conception at #19 just isn't very exciting.

Yeah, honestly view Conception as a early to mid-2nd round type pick.  #19 feels like a significant reach. If he's indeed the target I'd be working the phones hard trying to slide back and pick up some additional picks.

Im just not a fan, here's what I think of when KC is talked about-

 

For nerd numbers thats almost perfect for showing future success....I mean Polk was traded for used coupons, Coleman about 50 problems there, 3 panthers that ugh.....I still got hope for XL but maaannn.

And who is right there....KC. Loads of teams run zone in the NFL, like 70% of time and KC sucks against 70% of time.....so send that to those "experts" and watch them change some thoughts.....

claypool, LOLLOLOLS

the legend Mims, whom of baylor fame was linked here in many trade rumors....

My God that list, read it my fend!!

apparently this dude knows someone who works for the Panthers organization

At #19 it's a reach. You can acknowledge he is a talented prospect and also recognize that at the same time.

I'm hoping it's a smokescreen. I don't want to pull a Detroit and draft 3 WR in round one Three years in a row.

You run zone because you can’t challenge WRs in space. Developing a guy to learn when to squat or stop is a normal part of the growing process. Guys who can challenge man and separate deep are going to get drafted high or paid exuberant money. It’s a skill set you have to have on your roster.

additionally, this data isn’t new-we’ve seen it before, so I don’t need to read it. It’s an isolated component of his profile whole profile, one that is about to get him drafted high.

That doesn’t really mean anything though. To expand on it, not only did they take three straight, they took a first round WR in four out of five years.

if they had passed on the talent in 2007 because of what they did from 2003-2005, it would’ve been a colossal mistake. 
 

millen’s mistake was drafting bad players. If the talent is at a premium position-then take that.

it should also be pointed out that today’s nfl mandates three, if not four, quality wideouts whereas in the early two thousands you were just fine with two
