WR Cedric Tillman, Tennessee

The bottom of the WR depth chart has rarely looked better than it does in Kansas City right now, with maybe the best 4th/5th WR they've ever had in WR Justin Watson looking primed as a lay-up re-sign, with the promise of WR Justyn Ross and another GM Brett Veach reclamation project in WR John Ross. Who knows who can stick, but we know the Chiefs are drafting receiver, so we might as well expand our horizons at the position while we're examining prospects. One that may fly under the radar, since he flew under America's radar this past year, would be Cedric Tillman.

You've seen Tillman if you catch highlights of Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker, as Tillman is a favorite target. He also plays a style of offense that translates to solid success in the NFL. Here's the elevator pitch: Tillman is a big, fairly physical receiver who has fantastic deep speed but isn't particularly quick. He is going to a year or two of redshirting under Reid, since the Volunteers don't run a particularly complicated offense, but he is a reliable X receiver that, like WR Marques Valdez-Scantlin, teams will have to account for if they don't have their ducks in a row on the back line of the defense.

He's just not particularly dynamic, although I'll be fascinated by what his Combine says. He's a faster-then-quick guy who is fairly one-dimensional stylistically. But the things he can do, he looks really solid at them. If he can prove he has a bigger route tree ahead of him than what he's shown, I think he makes sense at the beginning of Day 3. For now, I might now ring that bell until the 6th comes along and you're just looking for contributors with upside.
