Offseason Mock 3/1/23

JuJu was a big-bodied slot. Parris Campbell is a big-bodied slot with more speed. I'm not sure I see a drop-off if this were the scenario.

Plus you have growth from Toney and Moore.

I'm not sleeping on Justyn Ross. I know he doesn't get much thought here, but the kid has enormous potential if he's healthy and I think the Chiefs feel that way or they wouldn't have kept him on IR all year. The dude started over two really good pro receivers as a Freshman, not by mistake. He's talented. If his foot is healed, he'll be a factor, Pat loved him during early offseason stuff last year.

Grabbing a guy on day 3, like Keylon Stokes (who is a big sleeper IMO), is fine.

I think there is a fascination with a dominant WR amongst Chiefs' fans that never goes away because of the decades of having QBs that needed one. Sure, having a better WR would make the offense even more dangerous but it's very much a luxury and nowhere near a necessity.

Necessities are fixing the defensive line and the OT situation. They need a DE opposite Karlaftis for the long haul. They have one DT under contract right now and it's only for 2023. Sure, that'll change some in FA but they still need long-term fixes. The RT situation is absolutely problematic. Wylie is a bandaid player. Hell, we don't even know the long-term prognosis for OBj. All of those things take priority over WR in my mind. IF you can fix some of them in FA for at least a couple of seasons then yeah, look at a WR early.
