Chiefs draft review by analyst will scare entire NFL
Chiefs' draft picks could reshape the NFL landscape, says analyst.
KC Concepcion was selected by the Cleveland Browns at pick 24 in the NFL Draft, addressing their scoring issues. Despite a notable drop rate, he has the potential to significantly improve the team's offense.
KC Concepcion has the potential to solve the Cleveland Browns' biggest problem from the past two seasons, scoring the football.
Sure, the quarterback position still remains a large question mark for this team, but thanks to what Andrew Berry and the Browns pulled off in this year's draft, they made sure that wide receiver isn't going to be. The start to this solution came at pick number 24 when Cleveland selected KC Concepcion.
Concepcion is a really unique prospect in this year's draft. He absolutely isn't the perfect prospect. The one negative to his game is consistently catching the football. He had an 11.7 percent drop rate last season, and in the past two years, he had a combined 19 drops to his name.
In the big picture, 19 drops compared to 114 catches is not the end of the world, but it is absolutely something that needs to be improved upon. Had he not had the drop problem, Concepcion would have been in the same conversation as Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson at the top of the draft.
Instead, he fell to Cleveland at pick number 24, and while there is that one negative trait, the positive traits are off the charts. Concepcion is a powerful runner with the football in his hands; he is very natural at finding hidden yards after the catch. Most importantly, he scores touchdowns, simple as that.
Over his career at two schools, Concepcion had 185 catches for 2,118 yards and 25 touchdowns. He showed up in his freshman year at North Carolina State and put up over 800 yards and 10 touchdowns. He carried that consistent success through his final two years.
Career draft expert Todd McShay broke down Concepcion's tape and pulled a couple of clips that really stood out to him that showcased his game.
The biggest takeaway was a simple one: he is "lighting," and Cleveland needs lightning.
One of the best things that Concepcion does is that he anticipates lanes before they are there. He has a very unique understanding of the football field and awareness of the other 21 players on it. He sets up blockers and running lanes just purely on instinct.
