Chiefs WR help this year?
Don’t kill me on this even if you disagree.
I know Mahomes is awesome, but I’m concerned about the Chiefs WR corps. While Tyreek Hill and Kielce are witches (and we have been lucky with their health), Sammy Watkins is gone (I know he was hurt a lot). MeCole Hardman has never really developed. The other receivers are “just guys.” They didn’t get a lot of help in the draft. Who might become available with camp cuts, etc.? Does anyone expect any trades, etc.? Thoughts? |

We drafted a rookie WR and TE that are both gonna be studs. Veach already addressed the issue.

That said, I think Robinson is going to start the year at X or #2. How long he stays there is up to him, and if last season is any indication, it won't be long.
I think they like Hardman as the 3 for the gadget plays and being able to keep him at PR. Pringle is probably capped out as the #4/KR guy. He has shown he can be clutch, but can he do it against #1 and 2 CBs? I'm excited for Cornell Powell and hope he dark horse's his way to the X spot. He'll have to show a lot and outperform guys that have been here 3 years, but I'm pulling for him. Everyone past Powell are JAGs. For us to go bring someone in that gets cut, you have to move someone out from that list above. And I really don't see that happening. |
I think the plan is to overwhelm defenses much like they have. They dont have a true X but with Hill, Hardman and Calloway on the field thats a threat to house it from anywhere, then you factor in Kelce. This offense is still ****ing stacked just not the way it was, and with less proven commodities than people want to be comfortable with.

Mahomes will make average receivers stars.

And here is the other thing - if the coaches are really as high on Gray as has been said they are because he is running routes like a vet, how often are we going to be in 12 personnel and not need the extra bodies at WR? (I know Andy loves his 4 and 5 wide sets, but still) |

Hardman will step up. 65 catches. 900 yards

Robinson is a nobody and has no room being above Hardman in the pecking order if Hardman actually lives up to his draft status. |

I'm not a Watkins hater and I think he was better than his stats (when he played), but just in terms of pure production Watkins only had 37 receptions for 421 yards in 10 games last year. It's not like we're replacing a #1 receiver here.
Also I think the fact that we switched Greg Lewis to RB coach says a lot about what we plan to do with those targets. |

We may transition into a more efficient offense, if Andy incorporates a short game , and gives the OL a chance to move some bodies. |
