Chiefs Adding a Retread WR?

Couch-Potato · 04-28-2019, 09:34 AM

Tyreek might be done, what are our thoughts on the remaining available retread WRs? Per ESPN, below are the best available:

Kelvin Benjamin
Dez Bryant
Michael Crabtree
Michael Floyd
Pierre Garcon
Justin Hunter
Dontrelle Inman
Jermaine Kearse
Rishard Matthews
Aldrick Robinson
De'Anthony Thomas
Deonte Thompson
Mike Wallace

I'm thinking one of these guys could help.

Help what? We're fine at WR. Do a list for TE maybe.

Can KB learn to play TE better than Harris?

Hill might be in jail
Watkins can't stay healthy
Robinson and Coates each have 500 total career yards as backups
Rookies and Jags

The world isn't ending but we are not fine. More of the team being put on the shoulders of Mahomes. We really screwed up by not signing Golden Tate this offseason.

Watkins
Crabtree
Robinson
Hardman/Dieter/Pringle

That’s a solid core, and even better if you include Kelce

Yes, if everyone stays healthy and one of our young players really step up.

When we lost Watkins last year our offense wasn't the same. When we went without Hunt and Watkins we struggled to compensate for our shitty defense.

There's a reason why people talk about getting a "Big 3" for their offense. We have Kelce but having your 2nd impact guy injury prone is not good.

Who is going to consistently stretch defenses deep without Hill? Pringle better turn into Hill part 2.

The guy we just drafted for that express purpose?

Even the great receivers were nobodies once, and even they didn't have Mahomes as their Qube.

Nope, we good, at least if those are the only options.

Couch-Potato · 04-28-2019, 09:53 AM

At some point, we may have to consider the inevitable that Hill isn't coming back. After Sammy Watkins, who didn't exactly shine last year and rarely plays an entire season, we may have only D Robinson and a Rookie as our WR core.

Some of the guys on that list have qualities that would bring us some WR depth. Wallace is still a pretty legit WR and known deep threat, Crabtree is a quality target and several of those names might come into camp with a chip on their shoulder ready to prove something.

Kiimo · 04-28-2019, 09:42 AM

Probably not. KB drops passes and can't block. I'm not sure why he's even on the team.

Tight End will get addressed soon enough, I think. It's not like there isn't time to find a backup blocking tight end who can catch a pass here and there.

Yeah we’ll have to see how camp shakes out, but TE #2 might already be on the rostrt

Knowing the playbook and PMII is a big up for the WRs that KC already has. They are also still young enough to be potentially improving. Can't say that about many on the list.

The guy Im thinking of is not a retread. I'd check with Philly about Nelson Agholor. He wanted out before the draft and there were indications that Philly was open to it for the right price. Since the draft, and their acquisition of a WR, their GM gave Agholer the dreaded vote of confidence.

Someone else I thought I'd add to the list.
