Overview
If pass rushers have rush plans, McConkey has route plans that allow him to uncover on all three levels. His pace and rhythm make cornerbacks more reactive than proactive. He has the footwork and body control to snap off crisp breaks and open windows for his quarterback. He can manipulate coverage with an advanced feel for leverage and has enough top-end speed to get past cornerbacks who are non-believers. He might not be sudden enough to beat press and will need to prove he has enough play strength to finish contested catches against tight man. McConkey’s 2023 injuries might have slowed the draft conversation about him, but his route polish, athleticism and ability to uncover over the first two levels could make him a productive slot receiver as a Day 2 pickup.
Strengths
Difficult to keep him from uncovering due to route-running ability.
Rhythmic route runner who keeps his feet under his pads for crisp cuts.
Consistently manipulates corners into relinquishing their leverage.
Has enough vertical speed to keep coverage honest.
Natural hands-catcher who typically plucks it away from his body.
Slippery punt returner with the vision of a running back.
Weaknesses
Modest play strength could create issues in beating press.
Limited production in 2023 due to back and ankle injuries.
Alarming number of deep ball-tracking drops in 2022.
Average acceleration driving through route stems.

The more I read and hear about this kids the more love this pick. This could literally explode on the scene. He can get open. All he need to do is catch herbert bullets.

He could be a stud. Hopefully, he can stay healthy for the full season.
