Chiefs Select McNeese State WR Quinten Lawrence with Sixth Round Pick

Quinten_head_shot_medium Lawrence_medium

With the 175th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Quinten Lawrence out of McNeese State.

6'0", 184 pounds

Scout.com had him rated as the 53rd wide receiver.  Here is what NFL Draft Scout had to say about him:

Adequate height and has a wiry strength. Extremely fast and quick. Eats up cushion by exploding off the line and getting on top of the corner before he knows it. Sells the outside or deep route well and cuts quickly to the inside or comes back to the ball. Catches the ball with his reliable hands, able to go outside his frame. Quick feet into and out of routes. Good vision and a naturally elusive runner with the ball in his hands. Efforts downfield blocking on quick screens and run plays. Could have impact as a returner because of his speed and willingness to go straight upfield.

The downsides are mostly size related including "thin frame", no bump-and-run experience, can't block much.

Versatility

He played wide receiver for much of his career but the team also played him a bit of defensive back.  He's also returned kicks.  This is a total Pioli pick with the multiple positions played.

Athlete

He played basketball (all-conference) and long jump (state champion) in high school.  He had an injury his senior year of at McNeese State that limited him to five games.  His athleticism allows for the versatility.

According to our draft interests page, the Chiefs had been rumored to be interested in Lawrence.

  • Round 1, Pick 3 (3) - DE Tyson Jackson LSU
  • Round 2, #34 traded to New England Patriots in exchange for QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel
  • Round 3, Pick 3 (67) - DT Alex Magee, Purdue
  • Round 4, Pick 2 (102) CB Donald Washington, Ohio St.
  • Round 5, Pick 3 (139) T Colin Brown, Missouri
  • Round 6, Pick 2 (175) WR Quinten Lawrence, McNeese St.
  • Round 7, Pick 3 (212)
  • Round 7, Pick 47 (256)

This is the first pick I've liked

And its because its in the 6th round, and a good time to take a shot at someone like this kid.

I’d have rather had Ellerbe or Jennings, the RB, but we need a returner, good time to roll the dice on speed.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:13 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

yup

The worry is, when your main attribute is speed, injuries can be a killer.

Still, I like this one, 6th is the right time for someone like this.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just wonder if he's not a clone

of the robinson kid we drafted last year.

by WesternChief on Apr 26, 2009 4:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I wouldnt say hes a clone at all

Robinson wasnt very fast.

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

This is the first g/d pick i’ve agreed with.

Funny thing

This is the first pick that everyone likes and the one most likely not to make the team based on round, competition, injury history, etc.

by Nelly on Apr 26, 2009 3:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well

This site will have a collective mass ejaculation if Holtsclaw gets picked in the 7th (even though I doubt it happens).

I think its easy to like 6th round picks because there is little to no expectations.

Here is a YOUTUBE Video of him

He has Blazing speed…..I mean Blazing!! Just watch!!

Poor man maclin

dude looks goo fast and is usally behind the D backs, was really impressed with the yards after catch

by cassel4prez on Apr 26, 2009 3:15 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I was thinking

Poor man’s Desean Jackson (Phi)

undersized with great speed and ball skills… a threat anytime the ball is in his hands.

I like having this guy in the slot with Bowe as #1 and Engram as #2.

by Ochophosphate on Apr 26, 2009 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Alot bigger than Desean.

by dyoung21 on Apr 26, 2009 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Engram is not #2 he is slot.

by Matt_Grbac on Apr 26, 2009 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

We still have Mark Bradley, right?

I would htink he is the #2. Engram in the slot, with this Lawrence kid his protege.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thats exactly what i was thinking

Have him learn from Engram and return kicks and punts. H"opefully this guy can be our slot of the future.

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

by paratrooper on Apr 26, 2009 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I like this pick (shocking, I know...hehe).

We needed a slot receiver, and I like this guy. Good blcoker, hard worker, excellent athlete.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 3:16 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I see him more as our KR/PR

I dont know is he is durable enough to be the man in the slot.

I want you doing my annual evaluation.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:19 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Haha.

I can be awfully critical, but unless someone obviously swings-and-misses, I’m a big fano f giving people the benefit of the doubt on Draft day. It’s awfully hard to actually know who wi ll turn out to be a player and who won’t, so I try and find the positives in each player and like them.

I won’t hesitate to switch if they suck, or anything.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 3:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Good point.

I always bring up Hali outplaying the first overall pick his rookie season. Too bad his numbers dropped off. Maybe he didn’t have a very high ceiling.

by SupremeChief on Apr 26, 2009 3:23 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll believe you when I see something critical

If it makes you feel any better, I’m rooting for you and Pioli to be right, and this draft to be 8 for 8.

(I’m guessing you’re going to like our last two picks :)

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Don't forget me

I like the possibilities of all the picks we made :)

I think it's fairly safe to say for all the LJ haters

He’ll be on the opening day roster. I love this pick in Lawrence, he will have the chance to spread the field with Bowe.

by Shawn on Apr 26, 2009 3:18 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

He does look fast

bad routes (coachable) but great speed (uncoachable)

by Nelly on Apr 26, 2009 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think LJ may or may not be on the opening day roster

But yesterday and today don’t tell us anything.

Pioli could have been trying to deal him and found no takers. He may love Charles and Kolby…I think LJ has a good shot at being on the roster, and a dedicated LJ makes us better, but don’t be so sure just yet.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

+1.

Basically my thoughts exactly.

by rockchalk on Apr 26, 2009 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Is it possible to renegotiate the existing contract with LJ

and load it with incentatives and very little guarenteed money?
Or cut him and then renogitiate the contract or let him walk?

Its all possible

But I think he stays or gets cut, I doubt we get him to renegotiate here…but who knows.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 3:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

Hopefully he’ll be a solid number 3 his rookie season.

by Bolan21 on Apr 26, 2009 3:24 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I like the pick

And I think the most we can hope for his rookie season is PR/KR, and #4 or 5 WR.

Most all very fast guys in college play WR

even though they will be more suited to play Special Teams in the NFL….Lawrence is no exception. I dont think he grades as one of our WR’s….I bet he will be out main return guy.

Except for the fact that he doesn't seem to realize

that they play 16 games in the NFL. He stated if you go 8-4 in the NFL you win your division. I think he is the biggest bust potential.

by WesternChief on Apr 26, 2009 3:31 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think the comment was meant as

After 12 games you could be 8-4 and in the race for your division. That’s how i took it

by RedNose on Apr 26, 2009 3:33 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No

I think he just misspoke.

The quick slant in the 2nd play in the youtube vid is

a mirror image of Fitz to the house in the Super Bowl.

Same play, same result.

Very unsure about our draft, I’m not really ready to call anyone else out, even though their’s looks pretty bad.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 4:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Our draft has the potional to be below average.

I don’t think it will but there is always that chance.

Their draft is at terrible with a low chance of good.

I agree

I’d say our draft has the potential to be terrible, and thier draft has a bigger chance at being terrible.

Of course, our draft could be good, as could theirs…I like our chances better, but I’m certainly not doing cartwheels over our draft, so I don’t really want to sh8t on someone elses.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 4:07 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

point taken.

It still makes me feel better about only getting to pick once with all that talent floating around on day one. I wouldn’t say anything to them on their blog, that would be rude. But i dont mind laughing about it here.

yeah

I know this Raiders fan. He wanted Crabtree or Maclin. They got DHB. He then told me he was the best pick. Then they take Michael Mitchell, who from a youtube video is now considered the best safety in the draft. lol

by SayHeyWerd on Apr 26, 2009 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He may end up being decent.

Well no he won’t. But there’s always that chance.

The fact is they could have picked up with much later picks. There was significant talent on the board at both picks and they left it for people not just out of spot but out of round.

"...Said he couldn't go on the American way"

Ok

No disrespect, but that sounds awfully similar to half our thread.

Most didn’t want Jackson, and most were quick to stick up for the pick.

Granted, it wasn’t in the ballpark as terrible as the DH-B pick, but still.

I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.

by KCking on Apr 26, 2009 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

There have been reports on both ESPN and NFLN today

That that safety was going later in round 2. The Bears and some other team were after him. Kiper who initially sh8t on the pick, acknowledged as much.

I’m not sticking up for it, just trying to be realistic. I like our draft over the Raiders, don’t get it twisted.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bears denied that on NFLN

Heyward Bey is a terrible reach, true

But most had him in round 1, late to mid round one.

And to be fair, again, most had Jackson mid round one…especially before it leaked that we liked him. Go look at mocks from 2 weeks ago. Jackson was anywhere from 12-early 20’s.

by kcsno56 on Apr 26, 2009 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly.

Mocks don’t necessarily place people based on a players skill they base them on a teams need for a position and that teams picks in the draft. It leaks that after minicamp we are unhappy with our d line so the best 5 tech in the draft shoots up because there are more teams in the top in need of that position.

Did anyone else pick a 5 tech in the top 20? seriously i dont know.
