That’s kind of where he shines -so who better to use him than coach Andy Reid?”īest value: Tennessee’s Trey Smith was getting first-round buzz a year ago at this time but medicals saw his stock fall to Day 3. “Like Dave Hinson said: when you see this kid, he’s big, he’s strapped up, he’s got big muscles, he’s strong, he’s very good after the catch. “He’s going to be like our post-up receiver,” said Kansas City director of college scouting Ryne Nutt of Powell. Wilson is spot-on with his analysis of how the Chiefs see him, too.

just about any way you slice it, Powell was a good value when taken 181st. But there was a lot of disagreement about Powell, too - one of the sources for our consensus ranking didn’t have him in their top 200, while the rest had him between 79th and 167th. It would appear that Wilson had Powell rated more highly than most our consensus draft prospects ranking had him as the 16th-best wide receiver - ranked 121st overall - so Wilson’s second-round grade might be a bit generous. We had a late second-round grade on Powell. This could be a great fit for both player and team. He reminds us in some ways of Sammy Watkins, especially his role in Kansas City. Meanwhile, he ranked the division rival Denver Broncos third - but placed the Chiefs in the top tier.įavorite pick: Clemson WR Cornell Powell had just one year of production but he took full advantage of the opportunity. In his eyes, two of the teams the Kansas City Chiefs will be watching closely this season - the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Baltimore Ravens - had poor drafts he ranked them 29th and 31st. Pippen is a top 50 player and completes an iconic draft class.īest Players: Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Reggie Miller, Kevin Johnson, Horace Grant, Kenny Smith, Mark Jackson, Muggsy Bogues 3.On Tuesday, CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson published his ranking of the best drafts turned in by NFL teams over the weekend. Pippen was LeBron James before LeBron James entered the league, utilizing exceptional playmaking and basketball I.Q. While MJ was the man for the Bulls, they would not have won without the great Scottie Pippen. To put the icing on the cake, this amazing draft class also produced 6x NBA champion, Scottie Pippen.

Robinson was a 10x All-Star and 10x All-NBA performer who is in the Hall of Fame. Robinson was ultra-successful with the San Antonio Spurs, winning two NBA titles and having one of the all-time great resumes which include an NBA MVP and DPOY award. Miller could literally transform a deficit to a lead in his favor in a matter of moments and was also an iconic player in the '90s. Reggie Miller had pure ice in his veins and was one of the most consistent clutch performers the game has ever seen.
