I think they'd do what they did for McDuffie....so if Johnston or say Addison is sliding a bit it could happen.

Just, please don't pass on Zay Flowers for a RB....

heh.

Either way, I'm not at all for drafting for need in the 1st.

They just need to make sure they come away with one early, it doesn't have to be the 1st.

Trade up in the 2nd if you have to, but don't pidgeonhole yourself into taking the best WR available.

Anyways, Veach never does that, so I'm pretty sure they will add a vet one way or another, even if the guy they are targeting comes after the draft.

A WR in the first round . . . seems strange to think about.LMAO

Trade our 2nd for Hopkins and worry about a wr next year

Agreed. We can find good OTs in the mid to late rounds in the draft, and we can find bandaids. We just need to do a better job at finding one. Way way easier to find a quality RT this way than a WR1, as we’ve seen

I kind of like this idea. I mean, what are the pot odds that we'll draft a ready-to-go WR in the 2nd this year? They can't be that good, based entirely on precedent, right?

Trade the 2nd rd pick and acquire DHop who will be able to step in and make a difference from Day 1, if we were just going to roll the dice on another 2nd round WR. Seems logical enough.

Still doubt ARI would want the 64th pick in exchange for Hopkins, but pretend they will.

We get instant production, instead of hoping that history doesn't repeat itself.

Someone with a smelly QB and lots of cap. Will be home to the new flavor of the month

Whatever man. You thought Mahomes was gonna suck. Your opinion doesn't mean shit for the rest of your days.

LMAO

Who the **** are you and why you making shit up?

You're pulling my chain, right? You must be.

But...none went elsewhere and improved in ther "2nd chances" either. I think it demonstrates the elite physical traits necessary to be a productive WR rather than shortcoming of the staff. Of the above, Hardman of course was a bit disappointing as a 2nd rnder, but is jut too slight. Chris Conley was the one that had the size and expectations (3rd rnd) to have improved to a solid 3.

Veach knows the team needs a top receiver not named Kelce who doesn’t have injury concerns. All I’m saying is with the draft in KC I can easily see it happening.

[QUOTE=Woogieman;16872340]I think it points to the chiefs needing to get way way way better at finding WRs in the draft. We just haven’t been very good at it outside of hill. Let’s hope so. We were also really bad at finding OL and then we got red hot finding trey and creed in the same draft. Same with LB. But it starts first with shooting for an actual WR1 instead of arguably focusing recently on guys who fit a role

[QUOTE=chiefzilla1501;16872362]Agree, time to take a swing. The Chiefs have been pretty lucky with Hill and Kelce dominating for a relatively long period. Time to restock the cupboard.

Or, Veach could be saying to himself, "we've got Toney, MVS and Skyy as our top WRs, and we expect big things from them, so all I need to do in this draft is get another role-player, develop him, and we're good!"

I don't believe that, but it's possible. I guess we'll know when he drafts whoever in the 2nd.
