Off-season WR possibilities

[Reerun_KC]

Seeing a lot of teams with sub .500 records with WRs that need to get with Mahomes.

Who is available and who would you like to see us pursue to go with Rice and Watson.

Because I literally can't think of a single one.

Aside from the one error play lining up, has Richie not been a decent player? 54 yards last week, 1 catch and a very good punt return this week.

Watson has gotten open and caught deep passes twice in 3 games. His one drop in the Bengals game was a tough contested catch.

Hardman made a critical catch in the Chargers game and had an awesome pun return.

These guys are getting magnified right now bc of MVS. If that asshole catches Mahomes pass it's a TD and the Chiefs get 29 points instead of 25. Erase him and the WR's are not killing the team.

But again they aren't stars. They're just decent players that haven't killed us like Skyy, MVS and Toney have.

The book might still be open on James. But he's been a non-factor as a Chief so far. He was also the guy that effed up that crossing route Week 1. maybe he'll do something significant in the playoffs. In the regular season he's done next to nothing, one 54-yard game notwithstanding.


Watson is a ST player, nothing more. He catches 1-2 passes a game and next to no points, and he's regressed to a 50% catch rate guy. "caught deep passes twice in 3 games." Holy shit, the bar is ****ing low for some people.

Hardman is in the same boat with James. Hasn't done anything of note yet but might still be productive in the playoffs. We can still have a glimmer of hope. I always liked Hardman, for what he was, not what he could maybe become, but I'm realistic about what he can do. Given his skillsets, I understand he's going to run a lot of gadget stuff, but I wish they'd send him deep more often. We'll see what happens.


Bottom line though, these guys aren't very good. None of them. At best, James/Hardman is a low-end 3, top-end WR4. But that's it. If we cut them all tomorrow, not one team would sign them for the playoffs, and i have doubts any would be signed during the offseason, by any NFL team. Maybe James on some 1-yr min rate deal before beginning his new career as a car salesman in 2025.

Kinda like the Thuney deal when everyone expected a LT

Kind of like Billy Beane? I hope Josh Palmer comes free from LAC, always has big days against the Chiefs

I think a guy like Curtis Samuel is underrated and could fit in well in KC. He's only 27. Plus he wouldn't cost a ton. I'm not saying sign Samuel and all our problems are fixed. But I think he would be a plus addition here.

Id keep an eye out for Xavier Lagette at the end of the 1st round. He reminds me a lot of AJ Brown who Veach was clearly intrigued by. 6'3" 227 lbs dude is impressive. Huge YAC guy which Reid loves in his offense. If he runs well at the combine his draft stock is going to soar.

Even as bad as kc has been…..the ravens wrs aren’t exactly setting the world on fire no?

No, they're really not.

Rice has been more productive than Flowers.

OBJ has similar production to Watson, but he had that big prime time game!

They're better, but not worthy of the dick sucking they've been receiving all season from MahomesMagic.

Hollywood is going to be our desean Jackson. And we aren’t tagging jones. Get used to it.

To be fair Mahomes has 140 more pass attempts than Lamar Jackson. That needs to be taken into consideration when comparing the WRs production.

He's an incredible physical specimen.

So why did he do absolutely nothing for four entire years, before deciding to be Megatron in his fifth?

[kcbubb]

The draft is absolutely loaded at wr. I’d rather draft three WRs than pick up a FA. Rookies are always more motivated.Legette has too much bust potential for me. He could be a stud but he could also bust. Too many good options in this draft.

Nelson Agholor was literally MVS in Philly. Those fans hated him. they couldn't get rid of him quicker.

I think for me it really comes down to is Veach trying to bandaid the situation or solve it in one off season. Do you sign a Mike Evans who might only have one good year left? That still leave you needing a Chark or Samuels deep threat. We cant count on any rookie production for 2024. I keep coming back to Hollywood. He can fill multiple roles. Locks up the z for years to come, rice plays off of him and leaves you the flexibility to let the draft fall to you .

This is about where I'm at. And it assumes Brown's contract lands somewhere in the Christian Kirk territory. I think that's fair and a deal that would make sense for KC.

[O.city]

With inflation, you're probably at about 20 million per year.....for Hollywood.

I'm way out on that.
