On Tuesday, NFL Community’s Peter Schrager revealed the primary of two mock NFL drafts he’ll full earlier than the massive present subsequent Thursday evening, April 25. Schrager typically stresses that, in contrast to different mocks that strictly work off a giant board and crew wants, he bases his picks solely on what he believes every crew will do primarily based on sourcing.
With out additional ado, let’s check out Schrager’s decide:
No. 32 — Kansas Metropolis Chiefs: Washington WR Ja’Lynn Polk
Polk is a private favourite — and I hold listening to his identify from soccer individuals I belief. There’s uncertainty within the Chiefs’ large receiver room, particularly given Rashee Rice’s authorized situation. Texas Tech product Patrick Mahomes will get a former Pink Raider who spent the previous three seasons at Washington, making numerous huge performs all through the 2023 Huskies’ run to the nationwide title recreation.
On the time of this writing, the crew’s two best place wants are offensive sort out and large receiver. In Schrager’s mock, as he considers the off-the-field scenario with Rice, he goes with the 6-foot-1, 203-pound Polk, who initiatives as a giant possession goal which will complement newcomer Hollywood Brown nicely.
In-house movie analyst Nate Christensen took a more in-depth take a look at Polk a few weeks again:
Andy Reid likes his large receivers to have positional versatility, and Polk has all of that. I might love his match on this large receiver room. With Brown thriving as a vertical risk and Rice engaged on beneath routes in house, Polk being a possession-style large receiver who wins over the intermediate a part of the sector would work nicely.
He will be the Chiefs’ “X” receiver, slot, or be remoted on the bottom of formations and win from there. Polk would give the room a ground and consistency that the Chiefs lacked final yr, giving them a dependability they sorely lacked.
There’s the query of whether or not Kansas Metropolis would contemplate buying and selling again if it thought Polk may very well be accessible in some unspecified time in the future within the second spherical. However that’s at all times dangerous enterprise, particularly if the Chiefs like him as a lot as Schrager suggests they do.
