The 2021 WR draft isn’t going to be nearly as deep or as good.
So in this draft, the Chiefs could plan for letting Watkins and Robinson walk next year and having a third option ready to slide into place, while also taking advantage of the depth at that position and getting a better player than will likely be available to them next year.
The WRs available with the Chiefs’ second pick might not even make it to their first draft position next year (which is going to be 32 again).

We will let the draft and Brett Veach speak to this next week during the draft. I can all but gaurantee you we arent selecting a wide receiver early only to come and sit on the bench this year behind Hill/Watkins/Hardman to get ready to "slide into place" the following year.
We are likely Super Bowl favorites THIS year. Your early draft picks better damn well fill a need THIS year as well as the future. There is a time and place to build strictly for the future and this year ain't it! Need to draft accordingly.
