D Hop would be a nice toy to have but I'm more interested in the development of Skyy Moore and Rashee Rice and don't want reps taken away from them. Also I want to see Chris Jones get a nice payday.

Veach…
Offer Hopkins a 1 year 10m deal that can get to 17 with incentives for playing time and production and let’s go get another ring. That amount can be managed through a couple simple restructures or expedite a new Jones deal to facilitate a Hopkins signing while also adding another DT to the mix. The signing will pay dividends as the other young WRs will all learn a lot from a HOF WR out there. It will help Kelce get even more open as the larger defenders with juice will be moving to cover Hop. It will give Mahomes a dependable option in all situations. |
Hopkins instantly
Makes next years chiefs top 5 madden teams of all time. |
Remember when Andy had Fredex, Todd Pinkston, Thrash. Just awful receiving corp. Ours might be barely better.
Then the Eagles get TO in 2004 and McNabb immediately doesn't suck anymore. |

If you mean THE stud WR that's going to catch 100 balls for 1000 yards, then no, we really don't need that. We have a guy that's going to catch 100 balls for 1000.What we NEED is a group that can accumulate another 2500-3000 or so, and your backs are going to add another 500 or more in receptions, and you're going to be top 5 at worst and probably more like top 3 with as good of a chance at #1 as anyone. Skyy barely played. A starter role will absolutely be exponentially different statistically, and that's not a stretch. Toney's only question is health. Will either go for 1000? Maybe, maybe not. Does either need to? One of them probably needs to get close. There's no reason at all not to expect that. |

So… why do we need that? Because we’ve seen more and more teams batter the shit out of kelce and in some cases succeeding (hello, Tennessee and buffalo). He deserves a foil. Because we need a bailout so mahomes doesn’t have to do magic tricks in the pocket to get guys open. That will only help him get rid of the ball faster. And at some point, teams are going to adjust and force us to open the offense up and we’ve seen several games where Mvs/mahomes just couldn’t get that done. They were totally out of sync. We’ve got a lot of catch and run options but we have to have the versatility to have guys who can also do damage before the catch is even made. By getting open, running great routes, and making excellent adjustments once the ball is in the air. When you watch the Super Bowl, contrast AJ browns outstanding adjustment to the TD grab early to MVS spinning in completely the wrong direction. Or juju not flattening his final route or closing on the ball which would have made the holding call blatantly obvious. It shouldn’t be too much to ask for mahomes to have WRs who can make adjustments to the ball. These are the little glitches mahomes covers up for all the time. And there will come a day soon when he doesn’t have to and that’s where we we go from elite to downright unstoppable. |

FYI: the entire WR room barely surpassed 2,600 yards. The first four, the WR1/2/3/4, just peeked over 2,200. Well behind the top-10 offenses in 2022. The average number of TDs scored by the top-10 receiving corps in the NFL was over 22. The Chiefs entire WR room scored just 13. And you don't really expect Toney to play in 17 games this season, do you? I mean, the kind of surety to bet your house on it? Of course not. If Toney plays in 12 games in 2023 that would be a pretty significant leap as far as his career availability is concerned, but still well short of what we need from him to be the primary WR in KC. Skyy tripling his yardage production in just his second year may not be realistic. i think he may not ever become a true WR2, that he may be really a solid slot WR, and nothing more. Which isn't bad; if he becomes 70-75% of Edelman/Welker, great. That would be well worth the pick. Oh, and Skyy did play. He was on the field for virtually every rushing snap, as the best run-blocking WR on the team. And he is pretty good at it. And he was out there in plenty of passing snaps. Though, as we've discussed, he was usually the 3rd option at best, unless the play was schemed for him. But he had inconsistencies in his ability to get a good release vs. press, and in his route-running mid-stem/at the break. he's going to be a work-in-progress this season. We might see the finished product next season. Bottom line, 750 yards seems a little optimistic for Skyy in 2023. 600 (+/-50yds) would be a more realistic goal. |

Well yeah, Titans are trash. He’d be a hell of a nice player to have in our offense right now
