Rank the Chiefs needs

Getting a WR with reliable hands, great ball skills, great body control, who can also run really fast, (in other words a #1 WR) would be a waste of time?

When did I say that?

I was responding to the WR that "can stretch the field".

So they should pass on Sammie Coates and DeVante Parker? Both guys can stretch the field.

Right, because that's exactly what I said.




Speed is a premium. If you can get that guy, great. But imo, there is no reason to sell out for a guy just because he is fast.

You said it yourself last off-season when you said you would rather have Josh Huff than Brandin Cooks. At first, I though you were either functionally reeruned or a Duck fan (pretty much the same thing). Then I found out you were a 49ers fan that followed Alex here and it made perfect sense. A solid possession receiver would make your boy look better than a speed guy would.

I wanted Josh Huff in the middle rounds, not the 1st. And have you even watched how the Saints have used Cooks? Lots of short stuff to get him out in space just like Reid uses DAT in the passing game. Got the exact same thing in Thomas, just at much better value.

So you're saying Cooks sucks at getting YAC?

I've watched almost every Saints game this season (didn't see the Cowboys debacle). I don't think you have,though, if you think the Saints are using Cooks like Reid is DAT.

I like DAT and am glad he is a Chief but he has a long way to go to learn to be an actual receiver. There is a reason he was a 5th round pick while Cooks was a 1st.

Look at this short pass!

We need 2 solid guards to take our run game to the next level.
Need another wr. Id perfer a guy with big play ability. But a guy who gets open and catches the ball would be an upgrade.

Need some front 7 help. Maybe djs future replacement. Another end. And a servicable run stuffing nt.

Could also use another toolsy cb like gaines.

But really I think we should just draft the highest celing guy we can at all picks after we get a wr, mlb, and guard. Dont think we need immediate contributions anywhere aside from those spots. We really would have a great lb core with good depth if dj comes back and mays. But I think its too risky to not treat that spot as a need now type of thing.

Cooks is light years ahead of DAT.

He better be, he's been playing WR for far longer.

DAT has better vision as a runner and is just as explosive and shifty. His hands have been pretty solid as well.
