This is something I was scared of, but knew Andy wouldn’t settle for. While those guys you listed and others might be good receivers, they would not have fit as well here.
They wouldn’t have had as great of an impact on how defenses defend KC. With Mecole, I think we still have a guy who needs attention from the safety over top. And if teams don’t want to respect his speed, it’s on him to make them pay.
Terez has been talking about how they wanted a burner to make their scheme run still even without Hill, and he’s in the know of course. But now we need to find someone behind Hardman for depth in case he goes down for any stretch of time. Just someone who again has speed to fear down the field.
