TE is the #1 priority? What?
They are three deep at the position with one a proven starter in the league (Fasano) and two that are only scratching the surface (McGrath & Kelce). The only way that go TE is if Kelce's injury and subsequent surgery didn't fix the problem and the microfracture basically finishes his career before it starts.
People need to realize that Duck McGrath really only played one year of college ball and that was at a very minor school. If this dude is capable of getting open against NFL level safeties, LBs and defensive backs in what was effectively his rookie season in a very complicated offense, the sky is the limit for this guy. He also shows a lot of passion and love for the game. Kelce is supposed to be the complete package at the position. And Fasano, a former second round draft pick, has been a starter in this league for six seasons for a reason.
That's what should be a very, very solid rotation at the position.
The main focus should be at WR. There is the chance that McCluster isn't on the team and there is really nothing at the position behind Bowe.
They will be in the position of getting a very, very good player at that position when they draft due to the depth of the position in the upcoming draft. Even at 23, there will be a solid NFL prospect there at the WR spot.
However, free agent market at the position isn't spectactular when you really start looking at it. Decker is going to be very expensive on the free agent market. Maclin is broken. Riley Cooper makes the most sense as he's familiar with the offense and shouldn't break the bank. Personally, I'd be shocked if he's not a Chief next season.
That CFL dude, Weston Dressler, can flat out ball.
Very reminiscent of Welker in that he is an undersized guy with speed (4.48 40) and extremely good instincts.
State Gatorade Player of the Year in high school who went on to set 19 school records in college. (I mean, wtf? Is there even 19 statistical categories in football?)
But they will have a chance to get a very good player at the position in the draft.
IMO, it's going to be either WR or OL.
