Poll: What should/will Veach do with the WR group?

[BWillie]

Well, I can tell ya what he shouldn't do. Thats roll to camp with your WR1 Kadarius Toney and WR2 Skyy Moore. That would be an absolute disaster and I cant believe so many of you want to do that. You need to add a WR1 to offset the expected decline of Travis Kelce. It will happen. Farher time catches us all.

Veach has something up his sleeve, I just hope it isnt Adam Thielen.

Yep.

I feel like they really need a veteran in there that the rookies can continue to learn from. I know we have Kelce, but that’s not exactly the same thing.

Hate it, but have to agree. Being serious, the WR room only managed 13 TDs last season.

The Chiefs won 11 games in 2022 scoring 27 points or less.

9 of those games were decided by less than 4 points

As it stands right now without JuJu, Watson and Hardman, that's 9 less TDs, 73 less 1st downs, and about 1,545 yards.

Look, if Toney can stay healthy, he's probably good for at least 1,000 yards, 50 1st downs and 7-10 TDs. The unknown is can he stay healthy. But if he does, no one's really worried about him being productive.

Skyy just has to somehow be 300% more effective. To 'take over' JuJu's role, he has to at a minimum triple his yards and score more than Juju's paltry 3 TDs.

Then we have Justin Watson, who is a FA, but we expect that he'll be back. He has to do something he's never done, and that's become a starting WR3/4? More than double his yards, triple his 1st downs, etc. 2022 was his career high. He finished the season with a 44% catch rate, and accounted for 315 yards, 12 1st downs and a pair of TDs.

That is not good. That's zero WRs we can at least 90% rely on to perform at a NFL WR1/2 standard in 2023.

And rookie WRs historically don't have 1,000 yard seasons in the NFL.

It's not an ideal situation.
