There's no reason to think Reid doesn't want a second dynamic WR. See Percy Harvin and Jeremy Maclin.
Conley could be that guy, lord knows he has the straight-line speed to be a deep threat. But the one combine stat that separated him from Julio Jones was his short-shuttle, which my amateur guess would assign to separation in quicker routes. I think that could end up being the albatross around his neck.
The Chiefs should absolutely be targeting another dynamic WR in the draft. Smith's contract is cost-prohibitive for drafting a first round QB this year, but not next year. Get another playmaker so he is ready to blossom when our QBOTF becomes the QBOTP.
Maclin, Kelce, FIRST ROUND WR, Conley, Charles, Ware, West. That's a hell of an arsenal for any QB to play with.
