Chiefs listing McCluster as a WR

The only point that video makes is that we just used the 36th overall pick to take a smaller, slower version of a player we took in the 3rd round 2 years ago.

I have no idea how to judge this pick. We'll wait and see. But it doesn't make sense to judge him based on what Charles can do. Thomas Jones is here for one year. After this season, we need a second back.

My preference all offseason was for Sproles.

I've heard everyone say that McCluster is purely a slot receiver. It sounds to me that they have him listed as a receiver. I haven't seen anything that suggests they're married to him being a full-time receiver.

If he bulks up, I see no reason why he couldn't be a slot receiver in 4-5 receiver sets, a 3rd down back, and just a guy to take a carry or two away from Charles.

We have yet to see. But for all the bitching, I've yet to find a source that doesn't think he was picked at about the right value at the pick.
