#2 Wide Receiver 2016-17
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/ |

Brothers isn't going to be a differencemaker, IMO. He's going to be a good player but I think you can find a lot of that kind of player in the later rounds. If Smith fell to us at the end of the 1st, I'd take him in the 1st before I'd take Brothers in the 2nd. I just think Smith has the ability to be an anchor on the defense and I don't quite see that ability with Brothers.

I'd be surprised if the Chiefs chose a WR any higher than the 5th round. Albert Wilson has made strides this year and Conley has as well. I'd expect Conley, Wilson and Maclin so see most of the action next year and if the preseason was any indication, Da'Ron Brown will likely make the roster as well.
I could see them taking another Gronk-like TE and letting Harris, Parker and O'Shaunessey battle it out for the final roster spot/Practice squad but as a few others have mentioned, Right Tackle and Left Guard are the priorities, IMO, followed by another CB. But I'm also confused as why the left guard of the future shouldn't be Mitch Morse. Fulton was very good at Center, Morse played Left Tackle in college and started out the season at right guard, so I'm just not sure why we haven't seen an offensive line combo of Fisher/Morse/Fulton/LDT/Reid. It's kind of puzzling to me. |

Yeah...I guess that's probably not going to happen. I hadn't really started following the draft stuff much and as I'm looking around, it looks like he's getting Kuechly treatment. He may not make it to the teens at this point.
Maybe Scooby Wright's injury will push him down a bit. He has a tendency to freelance a little too much but if you put him out there to learn from DJ for a season between Ford and Houston, the amount of athleticism in the LB corps would be virtually unparalleled.

Legitimate #2 & #3 WR's are huge needs for us next year, in my opinion. Arizona has 6 WRs better than anyone we have except for Maclin. Wilson may be the worst #2 WR in the NFL, and Conley might be the worst #3 WR.

Apparently, he was a beast in training camp and looked good in preseason before injury. |

Man, I can't see anything in Smith's game to say he wouldn't excel in a 3-4. Sure, he may be a slightly more natural fit as a 4-3 WLB but I think the edge to his game and his willingness to go out there and lay a hit make him a very nice fit as the Mike in a 3-4 and his athleticism makes him a true 3-down backer.

They're serviceable. I honestly don't think the #2 and #3 matter so much, unless Maclin is injured. Smith is a one read QB. Even the announcers yesterday were talking about it, "If his 1st read is covered, he's looking to run", so guys like Wilson and Conley won't see many targets anyway unless it's drawn up like that.
