I've seen some posters mention that they would like to see a bigger bodied receiver for jump balls or back shoulder throws. While it's definitely something we've lacked (other than Fortson), I don't think it's necessary. With Mahomes and Andy Reid, the one attribute I value more than anything is the ability to create separation. Receivers with the ability to separate within short routes, medium routes and the long ball will have the most success in Andy's system and with Mahomes.
Looking at our receiving corps, assuming that Hardman walks in free agency, I think the receiver we draft or free agent signing will need to be somewhat of a burner. Doesn't necessarily need to be game breaking speed, the offense clicked just fine with or without Hardman in the lineup but MVS and Watson are really our only deep threats I expect to see back. I don't see Toney or Moore has deep threats, I think they excel and creating separation in the short to medium areas of the field, I'd like to add a receiver that can stress the deep part of the field.
*Caveat I don't know what to expect from John Ross but he's a total wildcard.
