I wouldn't unless you could get someone like Riley Cooper, who is young enough with good hands and size, for relatively cheap.
As per Pestilence's report, if the Chiefs are looking at the bigger receviers, and because of the depth of this draft, you could get a guy like Ole Miss' Donte Moncrief in the third round, Rutgers Brandon Coleman around 3/4 or a guy like BYU's Cody Hoffman in the 4/5 range, that's nuts. All three guys are superb receivers. (Hoffman is as plug and play as you will find and has the best hands of any guy in this draft, and the upside with both Moncrief and Coleman are ridiculous. I was reading somewhere that one NFL scout thought that Moncrief might actually end up being the best receiver in this class when it's all said and done.)
And I think a guy like Texas' Mike Davis gives you everything that you are going to get in USC's Marquise Lee, and Davis should be around in the 3/4 range.
If they can't come out with a #2 opposite of Bowe with either their first, third or fourth round pick in this draft, they are doing something wrong. Personally, I'd love to see them with a guy like Cooks or Beckham that would immediately be both your slot and return guy in the same vein as Green Bay's Randall Cobb and then get a huge upside guy like Moncrief or Coleman a bit later. Win-win.
