I mean pickens was my guy and they rejected him flat out. Same with Nakobe Dean. So I have to think they rejected him so what is it about Skyy Moore that they felt comfortable trading down? Assuming it wasn't for Pierce.

Well I will say personally it's one: he catches EVERYTHING with those huge hands so that's why he was a cornerback and they were like okay you need to switch positions with those hands. two: he gets open constantly and Mahomes will find him better than his shitty QB did. three: he doesn't need to be a deep threat, he needs to be our terry mclaurin. Make catches, move the chains

With skyy moore he hasn't been a receiver very long. Like Hill when he came out. Maybe they see upside as he's real young and inexperienced and still gets open all the time which is my #1 thing with receivers who play with Mahomes.

Saw this negative review and scoffed:




Western Michigan QB and offensive line facing Aidan Hutchinson and Ojabo and you blame it on the wide receiver not producing enough lmao

There's literally not a single true thing in this statement.

Hill in 2021: 11.2 yards per catch. The vertical game essentially gone. He'd basically been reduced to a gadget player by defensive philosophy. a TON of manufactured touches. Very little vertical success. Did you even watch this past season?!

So all vertical threats, like Pringle and Robinson? What bullshit is this? You had ONE vertical threat that is no longer here, and that's Hill, and defenses had basically decided they would let us do ANYHTING but get the ball to Hill vertically.

And so what do we have now?
MVS, who is basically a vertical ONLY player.
Juju, who's a lot more than a horizontal guy, look at how many 40 yard TD's the guy has.
Hardman, who was here all along.

Moore, who's an extremely polished route runner.

but yeah, we've totally got a room full of gadgets guys.

Your whole post is ridiculous.

Nah, I like what Veach is doing a lot. Alex Smith said we we're not going to be the same explosive team, you can't replace Tyreek. He then suggested we should just build the defense up.

Simply put, I didn't believe him at the time. Man, he was right. We're going to run the ball, run slants, Mecole will still get his gadget chunks, and play defense. Teams will still keep their safeties back with Mahomes at the helm.

It's wild to see how we're adapting to the thorn in our side that is that TB shell defense. We're not backing down, we're just finding another way to win. I actually really like it but I'll miss the 2018 version of the Mahomes era from an offensive standpoint. It's gone.

Even with Tyreek, the defenses were pretty obsessed with forcing KC offense to play small ball with long drives and almost zero quick strike TD’s.

Kingdom we are staring at an A+ draft so far why take the position of being negative?

If you feel a guy isn't as good as everyone else, just adopt the "wait and see" stance.

It produces a lot less freezing cold takes in a couple years if the guy is awesome. I learned my lesson with Nick Bolton on that one.

Yuck. I don’t mind the freedom of numbers change. But 24 on a wr is gross
