Coming out of Houston, I really liked Avery's potential, but he's never played to the level I believed he was capable of achieving.

That is the result of a lack of focus and commitment.

He could eventually still find that focus and play to the level of his talent, but that's probably unlikely.

He'd be ok as a 4th receiver, but I would have no qualms should the Chiefs move on from him.

I had a fairly high opinion of Nicks when I put him on my fantasy team as depth at WR last year. Unfortunately I caught the same number of TDs as he did.

Some of it was surely on him but in fairness, Eli couldn't find his ass with both hands in 2013.

How about LaFell? Will the Panthers let him go? Too expensive?

His problem is with trying to stay healthy and like you said focus. I really thought highly of him but after seeing him drop so many easy passes and being unable to stay healthy throughout yet another season has me second guessing him.

nope ... just need reading lessons

Chiefs sign Ford and DHB. #SuperBowl

and many I do not know
or on thre downslide of their career

Hmmm...I didn't know Emmanuel Sanders was a FA.

If we were going the FA route, he's who I'd want, in order:

Jeremy Maclin (Eagles)
James Jones (Packers)
Emmanuel Sanders (Steelers)

I think I've seen James jones catch one ball. I'm guessing he's decent? Sanders didn't look terrible for the abortion of a team the steelers were.

There are also about 25 receivers in this class that have a third round or higher grade.

Now reason not to double dip and really bolster the position this offseason. Give Alex Smith the best weapons of his career and see what these guys can do to make a run at giving Peyton some unhappy endings.

Push those chips in and lets play ball.

Bowe
Maclin
Avery
Rookie

Also sign Hester if the price is right... Guessing it won't be but wanting to be used like McCluster and back with his ST's coach wouldn't shock me.
