Made my third selection. What I posted is as follows:

The Chiefs have a very simple decision to make, here.

The Chiefs select Justin Hardy, WR, East Carolina.

The Decision

It would have been harder had the previous two picks not occurred. The way my board fell had three guys above everybody else: Nelson, D'Joun Smith, and Hardy. There are some other talents that I like just as much at TE, OT, OLB, and DE, but I feel like those talents could be available at the bottom of the 3rd. Of the remaining WRs, Justin Hardy is by far the best, and he's at the top of my board. It's a no brainer.

The WR Position

The Chiefs have a ton of young promise at the WR position now. With Maclin and Devin Smith, they have an interesting Week 1 starting crew, with Albert Wilson and De'Anthony Thomas providing some help as well. The Chiefs also inked Jason Avant this offseason, but I don't have any faith that he'll stay healthy or even make the roster.

Hardy can come in right away and play a ton of snaps out of the slot. John Dorsey knows as good as anybody that having a 3rd and 4th receiver that's better than your opponent's 3rd and 4th CB is worth its weight in gold.

Justin Hardy

Hardy has all the making of a receiver that can succeed with Alex Smith. At 5'10", with less-than-elite speed, he's not your typical Dorsey-approved physical specimen, but he is an excellent route-runner with very high football IQ. He can set up corners over the course of a game for a devasating double move, he can stack up some YAC, he can make great circus catches with his 10" hands, and he's an incredibly tough player. He blocks, he returns punts, and he has nigh unparalleled work ethic.

Hardy's Impact

The Chiefs now have themselves a WR corps in Kelce, Maclin, Smith, Hardy, Wilson, and Thomas who are all under contract for at LEAST the next two years (as is Alex Smith, Knile Davis, and at least 4/5 of the Week 1 starting OL). This is an offense that WILL BE BETTER in Week 8 than they were in Week 1, better in Week 16 than they were in Week 8, and be better in 2016 than they were in 2015.

If you want to point the arrow way, way up for the offense, you flesh out this WR corps with the best possible talent.
