My comp would be Mecole Hardman, but a better route runner
Cool, thanks Okeana. Ladd does juke like a sumbitch, really good at making defenders miss in the open field.

There were games where he lined up against NFL quality corners and they just shut him down. He had a good combine, but the difference between 4.39 and 4.33 isn't that big, I would be curious to see short shuttle and 3 cone on Brian Thomas, but he avoided them.
Here is what's going to happen, Ladd will slide because he's white, he will get drafted by Kansas City and become a hall of fame receiver. The Georgia coaches said he came in early and stayed late every day watching tape, guys with his athletic profile and work ethic just don't miss unless they have a freak injury.
Thomas Jr looks like a much faster Tee Higgins to me when I watch him on film. I definitely understand why you like McConkey though
just the same. The WR I really like is actually Adonai Mitchell, great hands (even if they didn't show up at the combine) runs great routes
a lot like your boy Ladd and is just a TD machine in the Red Zone.
How tall is McConkey anyways? I like the height of Thomas Jr, same as Tee at 6'4".

There yah go, Lockett. I could see that for sure when watching the two.
