Kelce, Pacheco, and Rice are all in the 900's right now and depending on who sits this weekend might achieve 1k. It's also been a down year for Mahomes. Say we added Hopkins in FA or Evans at the trade deadline, they are highly likely to achieve 1k yards.

Ultimately, we may be just x1 alpha WR away from accomplishing the same on a good year.

MVS was what he was, right? A 3rd tier FA we could get in and maybe elevate. Nope, he's absolutely bottomed out as well. Both will have their abject worst seasons as professionals. We don't even need to rehash the complete disaster that has been Skyy Moore. So no. No more reclamation projects. Spend the premium for the high end talent because this staff has shown they can't be trusted to elevate players.

Harrison Jr
Nabers
Odunze

We know for a fact that none of those guys come close those 3. Keon Coleman, Troy Franklin, Adonai Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Bryan Thomas, Emeka Egbuka.

Obviously need to confirm all these guys will come out which will happen by 1/15 but if this is the WR class then man. Just totally blows 2023's class out of the water

Hollywood will cost more at 16-17 as a guess.


It is our front office's job to see more than the average fan and understand who can play and who cannot beyond just production numbers.

That's why I like Mooney as a buy low candidate because you see the skillset and you see the poor use by the Bears.

If Veach wants less risk then you pay more for a Hollywood, etc.

Either way, you still need to add value vet and a #1 pick at WR if they don't find a guy they want to pay 20 million plus to.

I would pay Hollywood the few extra mill in a heartbeat. He’s much better than Mooney. He’s been good with jack and shit for qb play most of the last two years.

His entire career really. Not like Lamar uses his WRs like Pat would. I think Hollywood would be a really great fit here. He's got sub-4.3 wheels and catches pretty much everything. Everyone complaining about reliable speed, he's the guy. No picks given up.

A few days ago I was sold on Ridley being the dog that leads this pack with the ability to do everything and be a high two/low 1 type. Then I started hitting some highlights. Give Mahomes that mid 4.2 speed and watch him cook. Brown can run the screen game, work deep, leave guys lost with solid routes. He’s really as close as you’ll get to tyreek and at about half the cost. He’s one upside at two cost.

The guys regularly making catches in traffic. He was traded for and had a half season with Hopkins/kyler/ kingsbury. Since then he’s still been the number one with back ups you can’t name and that goon Gannon coaching. Watch this quick reel and tell me the guys not worth 4 million more a year than a jag like Mooney.

Strongly agree with Brown over Mooney. I suspect we'll overpay for him, but it's the least bad option. Brown, Rice and a top R1 WR and I think we're in far better shape. I'd stll probably like us to dip again in the draft, it's just too deep to pass that up.
