The Kansas City Chiefs have traded up in the second round with the Los Angeles Rams. The Chiefs send the No. 61 and No. 167 picks to the Rams for No. 56.
With that first pick, the Chiefs selected Georgia WR Mecole Hardman.
Hardman finished the 2018 season at Georgia with 35 receptions for 543 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s also a special teams star in the kick and punt return games.
Here is what NFL.com’s Lance Zierlien has to say about Hardman:
Raw but explosive with burst to uncover underneath and a second gear to threaten over the top. Hardman is a relative newcomer to the position and it shows up at times in routes and his struggles competing for the ball in traffic. Hardman could develop into a lesser version of Tyreek Hill with his playmaking potential after the catch, on deep balls and as a returner. Speed kills in today’s game and Hardman’s could be coveted on Day 2 (Rounds 2-3).
