Possibly on the jet sweeps and YAC which were two pieces we may have dialed back a bit last year. I think we missed Albert wilson more than we realize. I don't know. It just doesn't feel the same as a gadget guy (though I could see Hardman working there...) and definitely not like a Randall Cobb or Cole Beasley. We have so many speed guys, it would be great to have guys who are terrific in the short field rather than forcing everything to kelce and rb screens.

Andy runs the spread and the majority of those concepts require speed all over to take advantage of any possible mismatches. Hardman and Watkins both run underneath routes, Tyreek did as well. I think you will see Darwin Thompson used a lot as a wildcard as well. Kid can catch and would fill in for the jet sweep series well (if Tyreek is absent).

Yeah, I think the Chiefs need their RBs to split to different spots. Kareem was almost never split wide. Damien was supposed to offer that versatility but I don't think it was used much. Hopefully Darwin Thompson helps. James Williams could be a huge help on third downs.

It would still be nice to see a solid scrapper with great hands in subpackages like Cobb or Beasley. Conley was supposed to be that guy but was really underwhelming.

I think Darwin Thompson and James Williams give a lot of interesting 2RB sets that would be fun for Andy to work with.

If we did trade for Rudolph there's some insane double TE double running back sets that I would love to see, but we're probably just running garbage out there at TE2 so probably won't happen.
