Chiefs #2 Wide Receiver 2016-17 - Page 4

Couch-Potato · 12-18-2015, 12:37 PM

I still see #2 WR as a big hole. So, who do you guys want as our #2 next year?

Develop from within? I'm not confident that Wilson, nor Conley is our #2 next year.

Draft "The Guy"? I've read there are a lot of options in the draft again this year, but rookie WRs are mostly unreliable.

Vet FA? Several FAs coming up, but not sure who will get away from their current team: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/wide-receiver/

No thanks.

You misspelled Will Fuller.

We'd be best off with Alex Smith to draft a 2nd TE if there is a really good one available. Then next year we will have Connelly step up along side Albert Wilson.

I want a guy that doesn't leave me questioning his effort.

so you want another #1 WR then. Not many teams have two of those.

Yeah, cause number 1s are the only ones that give full effort.

Dumbass.

I like Rishard Matthews from Miami.

And I'm curious what other teams #2 WR is acceptable by your mighty standards that you would want here? Martavis Bryant does not count.

Mighty standards?

I am asking for effort, dipshit.

Effort.

Mighty standards?

Good lord, what a ****ing moron.

I haven't really seen Albert Wilson give full effort. He's getting better and still learning the ins and outs of the NFL, but there are several balls he could have stretched out for or at least made a reaching jump for.

And you got them mixed up? Doesn't it say T. Benjamin - WR - CLE?

DaNewGuy · 12-20-2015, 12:26 AM

I'd roll with Wilson. I agree with DJ about Kelce being the #2

kcchiefsus · 12-20-2015, 08:02 AM

Well I have no faith in the ability of the Chiefs to draft a wide receiver. The best we drafted in the past 15 years was Dwayne Bowe and even he was largely dissapointed. I wish we could have the success that Pittsburgh has had drafting wide receivers. They've repeatedly found excellent wide receivers in the 3rd round or later.

Markus Wheaton - 3rd round
Antonio Brown - 6th round
Emmanuel Sanders (**** him) - 3rd round
Martavis Bryant - 4th round

I would happy with hitting on even one guy of a caliber similar to any one of them, but I simply have no faith that it will happen. It seems certain teams have positions they just can't draft or develop talent, and ours are quarterback and wide receiver.

Bring Eddie Kennison in for a look?

In this offense, the #2 target is Travis Kelce.

The X receiver in this offense is never going to be a guy that gets a ton of looks. His primary role is going to be to exploit coverages that sell out to stop Maclin and Kelce. In that regard, Wilson's done his job extremely well.

Wilson doesn't do a bad job of finding space, he is a solid route runner and he has good hands. For the most part, Wilson has been a very solid player and is by no means holding back the offense.

If Conley isn't ready to take the next step, Wilson will remain just fine as the X. I don't see any pressing need to use high-end draft capital and certainly don't see a need to use cap space to bring a guy in to replace Wilson when he's not likely to make a significant difference in the offense over Wilson.

I'm not sold. I think he's too small and he has a habit of quitting on plays.

Agreed. I also have been irritated with his (and others') tendency to run out of bounds instead of pushing for a few yds or more.

I like that he recently has been giving more regarding this lately, though I hope it continues.
