But where KC will be drafting, you have a chance to find a stud in the 2nd, but you're going to have to suffer through drafting Skyy Moore. When you're panning for gold, you're going to find a lot of rocks.

My thing is, it's why I'm always for trading up or trading for guys.

We're just not gonna have alot of shots at blue chip dudes.

Ok, we have 10 days til the Chargers come in here. Get this kid up and get him prepared. I'm ready for the Rice and Ross show.

I honestly think our WR's woes go away if we start these two.

I know it wont be perfect, but I feel like Ross catch radius and Rice YAC are exactly what we are missing.

I'm with you. If somehow Chris Jones isn't on the team next year, I really hope it's because they are acquiring draft capital to move up for an elite WR.

Every game we are hoping Andy gives the kid a proper chance. Every game we see Skyy Moore and MVS get the lions share of snaps and fail to make more than 2 catches. If not against a dogshit defense like Denver then when? Even with Watson out I doubt he'll get more than a couple of snaps.

I need a bigger sample size. I just think Ross/Ross is worth a shot. Give those two 40 snaps together to see what we got.

It does seem strange. Maybe Ross is doing something in practice that leads Reid to believe that he's not ready

[LoneWolf]

The Watson injury actually helps instead of hurts, IMO. It will force Reid and Co. to give Rice more snaps, it allows MVS to focus on the one thing he is above average in (deep routes), and it frees up snaps to get Ross on the field to see what he can do.

I believe the team comes out of the mini bye with a more set group of receivers with Toney, Rice, and MVS getting the bulk of the snaps and Moore and Ross getting snaps on special packages or when guys need a breather.

Andy is reluctant to play rookies on offense. There is no other explanation.

Pacheco was clearly better and his snaps were few and far between until late in the season last year.

Kareem Hunt was the exception because vet RB went down with an injury not because Kareem out played him.

[RINGLEADER]

Moore hasn’t shown anything. Then again neither have MVS and Toney really. If we’re going to give reps to players that are producing it should be Rice leaning into the number one position. After that I would prefer to see MVS/Toney because of their experience in the offense and then Ross and then Moore.

Had high hopes for Moore but for whatever reason it just isn’t working and we need to give Ross more of a shot. He can’t be any worse than the 2 catches and 10 yards Skyy gets each week.

I hope so.

But I'm skeptical Rice out snaps Moore this early in the season.

He doesn't need to and he'll still finish better in every statistical category.

This I agree with. I hope Ross gets a really hard look as well.
