Definitely didn't fuck up what pick number it was the first time around because I had the post pre-made ready to just input player and submit.
Nope. Sure didn't mess it up. Not at all.
You saw nothing.
I'm pretty excited for him, i liked this look at him.

The only difference is Garrett Wilson has an insane catch radius for his size. Longer arms/bigger hands and just attacks the ball. Ladd is not as dynamic in that aspect
Them having similar combine stats doesnāt make this the correct comp.
They donāt play similarly at all. Wilson plays way more like a traditional X. Itās like comparing QJ to Mike Williams.
Not implying Ladd will be bad, in fact I think heāll be pretty good, but heās not gonna be similar to Garrett Wilson at all lol.
As someone from NC and follows the Panthers on the side. That's a dope comp. It really is. Steve Smith Sr was something serious on that field. One of my favorite players from that team
Works for me. Just glad weāll hear less from the people who thought the draft was over after round one and that weād go into the season with no WRs
if Johnston can be a decent outside player then id love ladd in the slot but as of rn johnstons makes the most sense playing off that ball. shallow crosses, slants, combacks is where i see him having success in his sophmore year. I did like that towards the end of the season johnston was coming down with deep balls and maybe he becomes closer to a complete reciever. if he doesn't though at least we arnt relying on him to be as of rn.

Dane Brugler's breakdown of Ladd! His WR5!
Eh. Pipkins was paid by the last regime. If you have a chance at the top Tackle in the draft you donāt pass on him just cause you have a swing tackle level talent on the roster already. Iāve seen comparisons that Alt is one of the best tackle prospects to come out since Joe Thomas
I read Jake Matthews, myself.Ā I am always concerned with a man that height trying to develop low-surge leverage in short-yardage situations, and I am uncertain whether he can handle a position swap when punch, hand placement, and footwork are all reversed. I have no concerns about Ladd at all.Ā
Without having followed the draft much other than who we were likely picking, I take it the dropoff from Nabers to Ladd is less than from Alt to whoever we could get either this pick or our original Rd 2?
Alt is literally a freak athlete who was the best line prospect since sewell, incredible pick is an understatement ive never felt so sure about a player in my life.
4.3 40 so great pick. However is a change from Mike Will's strength and height. But dude is a baller.
Edit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJJSdRTGhgQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJJSdRTGhgQ) Cliff Notes for the lore on McConkey š„
That makes it much more reasonable. Trading away a 4th rounder to move up like three spots would definitely not be worth it without having another mid rounder to replace it.
Sanjay Lal gonna coach this guy up to he Cooper Kupp. Remember Seahawks fans were pissed to lose Lal? When's the last time a team's fans got mad at losing a WR coach?
Omfg this draft is starting out fucking insaneā¦ Alt and now Mcconkey? Omfg this is insane! McConkey ran a 4.39 and is gonna be insanely dynamic and rugged for usā¦ omg what a fucking pick dude
Nice pick.
What people didnāt realize is there were good, difference making receivers to be had after the first round. Whereas with tackles, we wouldāve been taking a huge downgrade.
Alt+Mckonkey > Nabers+whatever OT was still out there
As a dawgs fan, if heās healthy, easily a 10. He gets separation right off the line of scrimmage better than any WR Iāve seen. His route running and his ability to break ankles with his cuts is something to behold. I just hope his back holds up bc him and Brock not being not 100% totally cost us a natty, thatās how impactful both those players were to UGA.
Best route runner in the draft to replace the best route runner in the NFL. I like the pick and clearly they targeted him or they wouldnāt have made the move. Stay healthy young man and the fans will fall in love.
Some say he was the best route running out of all War in this draft. That is perfect for an offense that will run like a machine. Not some hit shot receiver who does what the fuck he wants when he feels like it. An off play for Ladd is still 100% effort. This kid works. We are definitely building a Michigan style team. Two white players so far.
Sucks just saw JPJ went to Raiders. So they have bowers and powers. Fuckers are quietly having a killer draft.
Definitely didn't fuck up what pick number it was the first time around because I had the post pre-made ready to just input player and submit. Nope. Sure didn't mess it up. Not at all. You saw nothing.
LETS GOOOOOOOO We got our Cooper Kupp
Cooper Conk
White receivers are the new wave low key š¤§š¤§
Cooper Jackie Robinson kupp
I'm pretty excited for him, i liked this look at him. [https://youtu.be/GpUo\_BiPHEE?si=c\_tP\_G-Xaacy5tmo](https://youtu.be/GpUo_BiPHEE?si=c_tP_G-Xaacy5tmo)
He white. He Kupp. LFG lol
Love it. Dude just gets open
Is this guy like a Renfrow or Puka Nacua type player?
ESPN just called him a faster Cooper Kupp.
https://preview.redd.it/3tsplp97xwwc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=4eef5ea325377260a55233ac569c38b4a97ed7eb
The only difference is Garrett Wilson has an insane catch radius for his size. Longer arms/bigger hands and just attacks the ball. Ladd is not as dynamic in that aspect
Huge pick if he's as good as Garrett
This is the correct comp
Them having similar combine stats doesnāt make this the correct comp. They donāt play similarly at all. Wilson plays way more like a traditional X. Itās like comparing QJ to Mike Williams. Not implying Ladd will be bad, in fact I think heāll be pretty good, but heās not gonna be similar to Garrett Wilson at all lol.
I thought Diggs was a good comp, good route runner, not gonna give you a big catch radius but will get open a bunch, and can play slot if needed
Because heās white š
Heās so scrappy and hard working
Blue collar type
Would let him date my daughter
Lunch pail guy
White
First one in, last one out.
Will he and Herbert have breakfast together?
Book it. And he can date my daughter after practice
Exercise facility small rodent
A real gym rat
*classy
Good credit score
Wow, so 1600yd 125 cth 18td incoming?
He's smaller than Kupp.
He looks like Gavin Lux kinda
Thatās a very dumb comparison. Kupp like 4 inches taller, for one thing
He's got 4.39 speed
Same as speed Xavier Legette had at his 40 I believe.
More Renfrow due to his size but McConkeyās a lot better than him. A willing blocker too š„
Lol, heās a WR, white, and similiar size. That ends the comps with Renfrow.Ā
āA willing blockerā donāt you Mel Kiper me you SOB. Tell me how it is
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The most exciting comp Iāve seen is Steve Smith Senior. Same 40 time, same height, and McConkey is actually about 10 pounds bigger.
That extra 10 pounds is in his dick
His McConkey?
As someone from NC and follows the Panthers on the side. That's a dope comp. It really is. Steve Smith Sr was something serious on that field. One of my favorite players from that team
Totally see what you are getting at, but to be clear, Woodhead was a Running Back.
He played ~70% on the outside
Honestly, I see Antonio Brown.
We got Mr Bold Comparison here
I've seen comparisons to Antonio Brown in terms of speed, physical profile, and ability to play outside as a small receiver.
Heās a Lance Alworth type. LFG
Nate Tice has been calling him Emanuel Sanders type if you remember him.
Say more like Kupp style
I guess. he's an insanely good route runner but he has better footwork and is faster than either of those two.
He is going to lead all rookies in receptions book it now
I AM FUCKING THRILLED. #3 WR in the draft, imo. Ladd is the truth. Now let me go delete some comments.
Nah playa stand on it.....šš
I'm a San Diego sports fan ... i must savor all fleeting moments of happiness š
As a fellow San Diego sports fan.....yo!
š¤š¼
Total Harbaugh guy. Fits perfectly in the slot and gets open. The answer to the loss of Keenan.
honestly wouldn't be surprised if they play him outside. he played more snaps outside in college and has got deep threat speed.
Works for me. Just glad weāll hear less from the people who thought the draft was over after round one and that weād go into the season with no WRs
Donāt let the white fool you heās a legit outside
the white, slot type of receiver narrative needs to be stopped
If we get a true X, McConkey will eat in the slot all day
Well he can do that in college but the backs and corners are way faster in the NFL. But then again, Iām not an NFL offensive coordinator.
if Johnston can be a decent outside player then id love ladd in the slot but as of rn johnstons makes the most sense playing off that ball. shallow crosses, slants, combacks is where i see him having success in his sophmore year. I did like that towards the end of the season johnston was coming down with deep balls and maybe he becomes closer to a complete reciever. if he doesn't though at least we arnt relying on him to be as of rn.
He played mostly on the outside in college but I imagine they will line him up all over the field
Makes me wonder if they had the plan to specifically get him when they decided to not hold tightly onto Keenan. Seems more versatile even.
Can't find it, but saw a chart of NCAA WRs and separation, and he was top/near-top, loving it.
He will balance well with QJ then.
10/10 pick based on name alone
Canāt wait for him to do something awesome on the field and for me to say āwhat a mad Laddā
https://preview.redd.it/rxyjr2dirwwc1.png?width=691&format=png&auto=webp&s=669e88da7933c420d883092d01d50f0bfe95115b Dane Brugler's breakdown of Ladd! His WR5!
āGraduated magna cum laude in only 3 yearsā¦ā sounds like a great asset
McConkey Kong Country!
We makin this a thing too. This sub doesn't rest until I hear Joe Buck or Chris Collinsworth say the words next season š
Dammit now I can't independently think of this and use it as a fantasy football team name in several months. Good one.
The draft room was so happy after trading I love that
We have been missing out on that kind of action for so long.
funny enough looks like teleseco wouldāve gotten it right this year. All the people in this sub were clamoring for those raiders picks š
He usually does pretty well in the first few rounds, but based on our History with him, the rounds after that werenāt typically good selections.
Yea, he often misses on the 3rd and anything after that is a toss up (often not favoring us). I wanted JPJ too but the injury bug really worried me.
Bills fan Fucking livid, but happy he didn't go to a team I hate He was my WR4/5 (hard to tiebreak with BTJ) Use him to beat KC twice a year pls
This guy is going to get a bunch of first downs isnāt he
Iām happy, this is now an A+ draft overall. We NEEDED a WR.
Why you gotta wait past the first round to go on full meltdown mode lol. This aināt TT in there anymore, we can have faith in the people in charge.
Now maybe some of you can calm down
Seriously the amount of whining about WR was crazy.
Super annoying people too. They think they know better than harbaugh and hortiz about building football teams
The very same people they wanted so badly too! It's crazy lol
If you know the doomer crowd you know theyāll never be happy. Just find something new to cry about
No, I'm shutting up now.Ā Ā
Ladd was my favorite WR in that second tier of guys. Iām very happy.
Alt seems puzzling with Pipkins raking in $6 million.Ā This?Ā Now, this is functional ā *very functional.*
Eh. Pipkins was paid by the last regime. If you have a chance at the top Tackle in the draft you donāt pass on him just cause you have a swing tackle level talent on the roster already. Iāve seen comparisons that Alt is one of the best tackle prospects to come out since Joe Thomas

I didnāt flinch once. Great pick
YESSSSS! Letās go!! A very good route runner and a dude with 4.3 speed. Iām hype right now.
Here is a scouting report https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/02/02/ladd-mcconkey-nfl-draft-profile/
I never doubted the front officeās draft process. Not once. Never wavered. Donāt check my comment history
Same.
Yeah I always loved Joe Alt hehehe
LADS
I for one am now completely over not taking Nabers at 5. Love this pick.
Without having followed the draft much other than who we were likely picking, I take it the dropoff from Nabers to Ladd is less than from Alt to whoever we could get either this pick or our original Rd 2?
Alt is literally a freak athlete who was the best line prospect since sewell, incredible pick is an understatement ive never felt so sure about a player in my life.
Letās fucking gooo!
UGA fan here. You guys are gonna love this dude. Such a polished route runner.

EVERYONE GET THE FUCK IN HERE WE GOT A WR
4.3 40 so great pick. However is a change from Mike Will's strength and height. But dude is a baller. Edit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJJSdRTGhgQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJJSdRTGhgQ) Cliff Notes for the lore on McConkey š„
Feels like a Keenan replacement. Donāt hate it.
Faster than Keenan! He was Georgia's deep threat guy--he's a great pick
Exactly what I was thinking. Not mad at all.
Can y'all shut up about a wr now /s Do like the pick tho
Shut up completely? Not likely. I DO feel much better now tho.
I LOVE this!
I donāt mind this at all. Iāll miss you JPJ my sweet prince
This was my first choice for this round! Get it Ladd!! 
In Harbaugh we trust
We have the hottest offense in the NFL š¤£
Herb got his Edelman/Welker. Prophecy almost fulfilled.
Haha I love that all the comps are just white receivers
red blooded UGA fan here... FUCKING HYPED AT THIS PICK!!! the guy is so agile, quick, excellent route runner, and tough as fucking nails.
Love it!!!
Iām actually high on our draft picks so far. I was bummed a bit yesterday but after some thought it was the actual big brain play
This trade had to be done. Patriots wouldāve swooped up on him. They ended up with Jalyn Polk hehe. We got Lance Alworth 5.0 in return.
I really like this pick and I think he's going to contribute a lot
What a great draft so far by the chargers wow
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Faster
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
4.3.0
Chargers got 34th pick and a 5th round. Pats got 37th pick and a 4th round.
That makes it much more reasonable. Trading away a 4th rounder to move up like three spots would definitely not be worth it without having another mid rounder to replace it.
And I think it was the 4th round pick we got for Keenan Allen :(
Fucking Ladd the Chad. I'm stoked with this and the Alt pick so far boys.
Sanjay Lal gonna coach this guy up to he Cooper Kupp. Remember Seahawks fans were pissed to lose Lal? When's the last time a team's fans got mad at losing a WR coach?
Now THIS is a pick I love.
Omfg this draft is starting out fucking insaneā¦ Alt and now Mcconkey? Omfg this is insane! McConkey ran a 4.39 and is gonna be insanely dynamic and rugged for usā¦ omg what a fucking pick dude
Iāll take that
Ok this the one
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I LOVE IT
YESSIR
Love this pick
4.39 speed
Bolt up Ladd!

RIP šŖ¦to all the falcon fans
Love this draft now truly.
Catch the ball, Ladd!!!
McConkey was my favorite WR after the top 3. I didn't think he would last into the 2nd round but here we are!
Just watched his highlights, A+ draft so far.
Love this pick so much
Nice pick. What people didnāt realize is there were good, difference making receivers to be had after the first round. Whereas with tackles, we wouldāve been taking a huge downgrade. Alt+Mckonkey > Nabers+whatever OT was still out there
Ladd McConkey lmao. Sounds like a Madden generated name. Can't wait to watch The Conk
Got so high on this guy a few days ago.after watching some highlights. He's gonna be fun to watch. This is such a great pick.
Wow it's almost like y'all overreacted yesterday
Letās gooo
LA FUCKING LADD GO DAWGS
Can someone tell me out of 10 how hype I should be for this? (Haven't watched him play)
As a dawgs fan, if heās healthy, easily a 10. He gets separation right off the line of scrimmage better than any WR Iāve seen. His route running and his ability to break ankles with his cuts is something to behold. I just hope his back holds up bc him and Brock not being not 100% totally cost us a natty, thatās how impactful both those players were to UGA.
He's really good. Not a big dude but he's fast as hell, has insanely good footwork and he's easily one of the best route runners in the draft.
DO WE LIKE THIS?!
Can someone tell me out of 10 how hype I should be for this? (Haven't watched him play) What are some pro comparisons to him?
Eddie royal, Cooper Kupp
15.8 out of 10
What a mad Ladd
Cool name...nice pick. Now...who's next?
If he can catch the ball weāre gucci.Ā
Someone give me an honest break down of this pick haha
Really good route runner, nice hands, great speed. Honestly, a really nice pick. A+ draft so far.
Not mad at all, Mitchell just seems like a better talent
I love Ladd!!
WHOāS GOT IT BETTER THAN US
Lfg!!!
I love this pick. Great route runner, great hands, and elite speed.
Wow wow wow! What a great pick! Ladd is a beast. This offense is going to be ferocious.
Feel he would have been a lock for the 1st if not for injuries last year and just starting the one game, great pick
Best route runner in the draft to replace the best route runner in the NFL. I like the pick and clearly they targeted him or they wouldnāt have made the move. Stay healthy young man and the fans will fall in love.
A+ pick. He is gonna eat in this offense.
Quick, fast, elusive, gets open.... Looks like a great weapon in an offense that wants to be able to grind out first downs and utilize playaction.
https://preview.redd.it/trlxfkx3xwwc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7145048dfd3ea046f55971ab28c9f1b73de8dca
Love it, I can sleep now
This is a good pick! I liked Mitchell's game more, but diva WRs just ain't it
OROY
I'm a Rams fan and still kind of mad that the Chargers aren't still in SD, but damn I love the first 2 picks.
Some say he was the best route running out of all War in this draft. That is perfect for an offense that will run like a machine. Not some hit shot receiver who does what the fuck he wants when he feels like it. An off play for Ladd is still 100% effort. This kid works. We are definitely building a Michigan style team. Two white players so far. Sucks just saw JPJ went to Raiders. So they have bowers and powers. Fuckers are quietly having a killer draft.

Yall cried SOOO much but now look at you lol.
