ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate

Who isn’t advocating for a WR? We’re likely losing two of our top 4. You think a team that has consistently invested in the position while simultaneously not putting much value into TE2 had a sudden dramatic change in philosophy after a SB where nobody outside of Tyreek Hill could win 1 on 1?

They aren’t going to “prioritize a top tier TE in free agency”. What reason do we have to believe they will? Again, because Veach mentioned backup TE? He mentioned WR as well. You aren’t making any sense with this argument.

He was absolutely disruptive on tape and consistently got pressure in 2020. It’s all on tape, and just about every scouting report mentions this. DJ, Zierlein, Brugler etc. have all said the same thing. This is reflected by his pass rush win rate and PFF grades (I know I know PFF) as well. The lack of production is 100% misleading, which is why I think it’s silly to stop there.

Despite the difference in production, nobody will tell you he didn’t clearly get better from 2019 to 2020.

The issue is it was a weird year and he’s still new to football. He’s not an athlete playing football though. He’s definitely a football player and has improved while demonstrating he has the intangibles to make a huge jump in the NFL.

I'm always leery of no production, but at the end of the first, you're not getting a clean prospect. It is what it is.

Figure out what he does well and ask him to do that.

I’m not advocating for the prioritization of a WR (many more holes to prioritize)...Watkins barely plays (especially in 2020) and Robinson hasn’t been relevant since 9/15/2019.

The discussion (not argument LOL) is simply based around an opinion that KC may rather replace Watkins/Robinson’s production with a second threat at TE. The reason (other than Veach calling it out) is a lack of quality behind Kelce for seasons...since Harris (does he qualify as a threat??)

You’re quite literally making something out of nothing, while also ignoring things that contradict your assessment.

Watkins barely playing and Robinson not being relevant doesn’t change the fact that they clearly want a WR2, hence why they went after Watkins in the first place AND re-signed him last year.

I'm trying to remember what glaring deficiency Veach has ignored since he became GM.

2018's defense was shitty.

Enter Matthieu, Clark, Okafor, Ogbah, Breeland. Spags and that entire staff.

2019 LB play sketchy-draft Gay in round 2. Covid, no camp, slowed his development, but investment made.

2019 CB depth sketchy. Draft Sneed, sign Baker.

Now in 2021, we clearly have OL issues, need WR help, could use talent upgrades in a few other spots like TE2.

But somehow, people here want to act like they're just going to ignore the problems.

They're problems to be solved. Veach has directly addressed a weakness every year. Dude can walk and chew gum.

Have we signed 10 fatties yet and a WR number 2?

Wow. Putting a guy with his substance abuse issues in Miami? What could go wrong?!?

He’s a fat sack of shit, not going to be worth a ****. But Miami got him for nothing.

On second thought, maybe all the cocaine in Miami will help him with his laziness.

Probably drop a little weight anyway.

Brian Flores and Isaiah Wilson grew up in the same neighborhood and attended the same high school, albeit a few decades apart, but Flores thinks he can "get through to Wilson".

If he does, Wilson will be a steal and if he doesn't, who really cares at that price?

This was unsolicited, so if anything, I found it interesting that he specifically mentioned a WR. They aren’t going to go out and get a big fish there, but that kind of makes me think they want to get a guy in that tier 2/3 area which goes with what guys like Nate Taylor have said.

And if the PC is what you’re basing all of this on, he even said something about adding a WR in the draft.

They are adding a WR one way or the other, and they will probably do both.

The point is backup TE has no impact on them adding a WR.

Veach mentioned WR, CB and OT being the deepest position groups in the draft and I’m POSITIVE he has a couple “Sneeds” at WR he’s targeting that had great 2019s but lackluster 2020s due to specific circumstances.

I can’t wait to see who those guys are.
