NegativeValue0:00

Matt Harmon is lukewarm on Ladd McConkey at his current draft position, preferring Puka Nacua and Tee Higgins in the same range. Harmon notes that a major concern for McConkey's outlook is the potential for him to split reps with Keenan Allen. Despite this, Harmon highlights McConkey's elite Reception Perception metrics, including an 88th percentile win rate vs. man, 89th vs. zone, and 90th vs. press, suggesting high potential if he secures a primary role.

0:00Lad McConkey. He was one of the worst
0:02picks you could have made last year.
0:03McConkey went side by side with Jackson
0:06Smith-Njigba in a lot of drafts. That
0:08two-three turn area where drafters could
0:11have drafted a league winner or a player
0:13that had sunken bad win rates in Lad
0:15McConkey. Certainly the market is back
0:18in on him. I'm lukewarm on Lad. He's
0:20just now drifted up to this range.
0:21There's a Puka there who I like more, T.
0:23Higgins who I like more. He was awesome
0:25as a rookie last year. Wasn't ideal. He
0:27starts splitting the reps with Keenan
0:28Allen. The offensive line just
0:30completely craters. They were like a
0:31top-five offense with him all without
0:33him they were like 26. So now you get
0:34him healthy, you get Rashawn Slater
0:35healthy, McDaniel in the mix. My big
0:37concern would be if they bring back
0:39Keenan Allen. But when you put Lad in
0:41isolation, on Reception Perception he
0:43had an 88th percentile win rate versus
0:44man, 89th for zone, 90th for his press.
0:46He's a good receiver and if he does get
0:48this role we're hoping for in this
0:50offense, he could be an absolute
0:51monster. Year three breakout was in
0:53vogue last year. I want to be drafting
0:55the wide receivers in this range and Lad
0:56is one of the targets there.
