People keep saying this, but I'm pretty sure the organization knew that Hill would be fine. They had all the info available and did there own investigation. The Chiefs have shown they want to give Mahomes weapons. They knew they had big contracts coming up, Sammy and Demarcus weren't expected to stay around, and they didn't want to be caught with their pants down. Mecole was drafted because they wanted to keep supplying Mahomes with weapons. They weren't going to replace Hill with a rookie that had 500 yards receiving his last year in college, because he was fast.
