Let’s talk about ways to get this team back on the Super Bowl track tonight

[pugsnotdrugs19]

First off, I’m operating under the assumption that we’ve seen Tyreek Hill play his final snap in KC as of right now. And barring unforeseen news to come, that is how it needs to be. If you choose to believe otherwise, that’s your call. But for the sake of being realistic, Hill is a goner.

I won’t understate that blow. He’s been the most explosive playmaker in the NFL for 2-3 years now. He changes the game unlike anyone else. He will not be replaced.

But that doesn’t mean that this team can’t find other ways to get back on track. So here is what I am looking at heading into Friday night:

1. Mahomes means we’re still in a good spot

Let us not forget that Patrick looked ****ing awesome in his first start in Denver with nothing but backups around him. He basically got Albert Wilson a 50% raise that day, I would say. Things will get tougher for him and the offense now, but he can still carry us to being a top 10 offense at minimum. We still have some star playmakers on the roster and an above average offensive line. Now onto the draft....

2. Lots of good, athletic receivers left

Here is a list of some of the best WR prospects remaining along with their 40-yard dash times to the right. I think Andy will want to add a field stretching WR to this roster in order to best match up with Mahomes, so speed is very important:

- Parris Campbell (4.31)
- Andy Isabella (4.31)
- Mecole Hardman (4.33)
- D.K. Metcalf (4.33)
- Terry McClaurin (4.35)
- Emmanuel Hall (4.39)
- Darius Slayton (4.39)
- Myles Boykin (4.42 and some FREAKY agility times as well)
- Hakeem Butler (4.48)
- Deebo Samuel (4.48 and just a stud in general)
- A.J. Brown (4.49, stud player like Samuel)

Point being, there are some really athletic players left at WR who, while not close to Hill, could still come in day one and present a vertical threat for Mahomes and Andy to work with.

3. Lots of good corners and safeties remain as well

Another huge need that has some depth here on day two... here are some solid players available:

- Byron Murphy
- Greedy Williams
- Amani Oruwariye
- Rock Ya-Sin
- Joejuan Williams
- Sean Bunting
- Justin Layne
- Julian Love
- Trayvon Mullen
- Lonnie Johnson Jr.
- Nasir Adderley
- Chauncey Gardner-Johnson
- Taylor Rapp
- Juan Thornhill

And even a few more who could make an impact potentially from day one. If the Chiefs want to build up the defense even more to take pressure off of the offense this year, options remain...

4. Possible established trade targets?

I doubt it happens but we’ve still got possible veteran fixes out there such as Patrick Peterson or A.J. Green... not sure if their teams would trade them right now, but its possible... and even if not, they may do so during the summer.

So tonight, the Chiefs should have a great chance to stock up on talent that can help immediately in 2019. They could go WR/CB/TE straight up, they could take two WRs even to hedge their bets there with a DB or TE later, or they could use picks to go get an established veteran today... who really knows.

This team isn’t dead yet, though. Let’s see where things are later. Even with Hill on his way out, Kansas City can reset and contend with the right moves, IMO.

I think they're high on Pringle...….isn't he a burner?

Did not say it could not happen but the odds are below 20% that a 2nd/ 3rd wr is able to come in a contribute.

I mean last year there was like 8 taken in 2nd and 3rd Michael Gallup could say contributed. Year before 11 Kupp, and Shuster But the complete misses are a lot higher.

I like Isabella I just pause at 5'8. He's very very fast though. I wouldn't hate it.

He's a real "lunch pail" kinda guy.

[Kiimo]

Jeez Isabella ran the 100 in 10.5 and had the fastest 60 time in the nation.


Here's a writeup







I'd be fine with DK, AJ, Parris or this guy. Whichever one they feel best about and also won't punch babies.

Tonight is going to ****ing suck. Be prepared to watch the run on WRs and CBs start....and start early. I have a feeling that Murphy and Greedy are going in the top 5.

Not expecting to get those two at all.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Not seeing Miles Boykin’s speed on tape. He’s been run down a time or two even. Really big though so it’s not a huge issue.

Looks quicker making cuts than he is just straight line fast.

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

I really like Justin Layne

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Parris Campbell has speed to burn. Does a lot of motion stuff too. This could be the guy.

So important to get that right and I'm fine giving up a lot of draft capital to do it.

See? THIS guy( the OP )has an idea or ideas. Was that so ****ing hard? But, you're a follower so I don't expect anything from you anyway.

Parris Campbell is my favorite WR in this draft. I’d trade up a bit even to take him

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Gotta keep level of competition in mind but Issabella looks good. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1jyy1oqlu24

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

Sounds like Campbell is smart asf

Meet The 2019 WR Class:

• #OhioState Parris Campbell skipped Kindergarten and enrolled at OSU as a 16-year old.

• #OhioState Parris Campbell caught 90 passes in 2018 and his aDOT was just 4.5 yards.

•#WVU David Sills received a scholarship from USC as a 7th Grade QB.

Preferably no more guys with personality disorders or child/woman beaters please.

The number of "really good receivers" in this draft was limited to begin with, and they aren't going to be available on day 2.

That the Chiefs are/were incapable of keeping an ear to the ground and knowing what was about to transpire with Hill does absolutely nothing to instill any confidence in me going forward in to todays draft proceedings.

They'd be better off sticking to their original board and seeing what shakes out after the draft, and watching who's coming and going on the wire once camp starts.

Sad, but if you don't prepare for the worst, you can't execute a good contingency plan. And these guys completely went to sleep on their watch.

Hardman is my favorite so far. WOW. Some serious speed there and athleticism. Seems to run good routes and tracks the ball fine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l-vEh0APdVU
