For those wanting a WR in the 1st round.....WHY?
Over the last 3 years, our offense has finished 1st, 1st, and 2nd in the league in scoring. During that timespan we have never had great or even above average wide receivers, yet we still have no trouble scoring. Over that same timespan, our defense has been one of the very worst in the league. Based on that, why do some people on here say we need a WR? What indications are there that our offense needs a WR this year? No matter what happens, our #1 one will be Priest/LJ and #2 will be Gonzo....I honestly believe a WR drafted in the 1st round would not be happy being in our offense. On the flipside, we have made some great defensive additions this offseason, but we still aren't going to be confused with the 85 Bears. So, what's the deal? For those lobbying for a WR, explain your position, because I don't get it.

Why?
hummmmmmmm.... Well, J. Morton (drops!) Kennison (decent 2nd option, but lets get serious!) Parker (9 catches) Bo (bad knee - hasn't played in a year) Hall (no no no no - just let him return the ball already) Horn (cough)

All that mentioned above, and you can see what happens to one side of a team when you neglect it for too long.

The year before last, when mixed in intelligently, he excelled. Some of those screen passes were just insane. He is too slippery and explosive to have returning kicks only. You've gotta mix him in on at least 10 offensive snaps per game with 5 or 6 of those with him just being in there as a decoy and 4 or 5 times getting him the ball. I realize he is not a true reciever, but he is a threat to go to the house anytime he touches the ball. Saunders just needs to try and not make it so obvious when he uses him. |

Because the only LB worthy of a 1st won't fall to us in all likelihood.

A WR is not a priority on a team that finished 1st on offense and last on defense. |

The argument is simply that you can't rest on your laurels, and must continue to try to improve if you want to remain as successful as the Chiefs have been on offense. Our WRs are a year older, the OLine is a year older, Green may not be afforded the time he's had in the past to find open WRs who take longer getting to their spot, etc.
Having said that, I'm not suggesting we should take a WR. But I do understand that line of thought after adding Surtain, Bell, Knight and Hall. I'd still prefer we take the best defender on the board. |

Why?
Because that's the only shot we'll have at Matt Jones (EP, Arkansas), and everybody wants Matt Jones! |
