Chiefs All-Decade Team - Wide Receivers
 

With the end of the decade, it's time for us to select our all-decade team for the 2010s. Credit to Direckshun for the idea; I'm just implementing it.

Here are the rules:

1. I'll put up lists of position groups one at a time.

2. Each list will contain guys who had at least one notable stat line in their career. I'll generally put them in descending order of some key stat.

3. The stats will contain ONLY their body of work between 2010 and 2019 for the Chiefs. No pre-2010 stats and no stats for other teams.

4. The number of roster spots will be the same as the number of roster spots on the 2019 Super Bowl roster for the Chiefs.

5. You can use whatever criteria you want to select the team. It can be total stats for the decade, it can be dominance in a shorter period, it can be playmakers who didn't screw up badly, whatever. It's your call. Feel free to use any criteria not listed in your decision. For example, if you know that Terrance Copper was an amazing blocker, you can build that into your decision.

6. In a subsequent poll we will determine which players are the starters on the all-decade team. In the first round, you're just going to fill the 53-man roster.

Our next position group is wide receivers. FIVE wide receivers will make the all-decade team. So pick FIVE wide receivers.

In b4 poll

Also, Dwayne Bowe is def making my roster!

in b4 jon baldwin moves to tight end. JBTE!

About 3-4 guys head and shoulders above the rest.

As an editorial note, I'm including only receivers who logged more than 200 receiving yards. If you wish to make a case for Jehu Chesson or Da'Ron Brown or another receiver with fewer yards, you may make a write-in argument.

Apart from current players, that is a really terrible list (aside from Bowe)

Bowe
Hill
Maclin
Watkins
Hardman

That group with Mahomes...holy shit

Edit: I get that it’s mostly our current group. Maclin and Bowe were really good in their primes even with QB play nowhere near Mahomes.

When you combine recency bias and the fact that the most recent team won a Super Bowl and the fact that Super Bowl winning teams tend to be really good, you tend to pick a lot of recent players.

Mecole Hardman averaged nearly 21 yards per reception for the entire decade. That's amazing.

Again, gotta go with D Bowe and the guys who won the Super Bowl - Hill, Hardman, Robinson, Watkins.

On an interesting side note, Tyreek was #10 in rushing yards for the decade in addition to his receiving duties.

Bowe
Maclin
Reek
Watkins
Hardman

Considered Wilson at #5 but he never made a pro bowl like Hardman

Watched some more highlights last night; it’s a little surprising just how many great catches DRob made in the last couple seasons. And yet somehow his numbers aren’t indicative of that.

I went Robinson over hardman tough choice but was here longer and helped develop Mahomes imo..at the beginning he was the guy catching all those passes with Mahomes running out of the pocket

Hill and Hardman are my picks just because they are going be the most dominant duo in sports WR corps this next decade

Keep sleeping on Gehrig muther****ing Dieter!

Also gonna make mahomes happy!

These lists are a good reminder of how far we came in a decade.

I remember arguing over guys like Terence Copper, Jason Avant and Chris Chambers.

Our all-decade WRs are Tyreek Hill, Dwayne Bowe, Sammy Watkins, Jeremy Maclin, and Mecole Hardman.

I must say, Maclin's yards per game surprises me a bit. He's up there with Tyreek and Bowe in per-game productivity, and I didn't remember him that way.

Bowe, Hill, Maclin, Watkins and Hardman

I wish Bowe got to play with a competent qb while he was in his prime... i mean look what he did with matt freaking cassel

If SNR doesn't vote for Copper he's going to get RR'd.

The real list?

Hill
Hill
Hill
Hill
Watkins

What I chose?
Hill
Watkins
Hardman
Bowe
Maclin

Definitely

Honestly I think the debate begins at the 5th spot.

Hill
Bowe
Maclin
Watkins







Pick your guy. I went with DRob but could’ve been talked into Conley or maybe Wilson. If the decades extended even one additional year, Hardman would probably make it.

Hardman has 6 TDs on 26 Receptions. That's my pick.
