Hill wasn’t a 1st round pick when we drafted him. They’ve got guys that can play the WR position effectively. It may not have been guys that most people wanted but Veach and Reid have a plan for the offense.

I don’t mean necessarily that we have to replace Hill, because I agree that isn’t happening. I still think a goal needs to be finding a receiver over the next year or two who is eventually capable of 1,200+ yards and 6-8 TD a year. With Mahomes at QB and in the Reid offense that isn’t necessarily easy but isn’t an impossible task with how many yards there are to go around.
Dating back to the year we (unfortunately) took Hardman we’re seeing more receivers than ever come in and put up significant numbers as rookies. Not sure that will necessarily happen here with the receivers already on the roster, but considering MVS is the only receiver under contract beyond 2022 it’s pretty important to find the right guy sooner than later. Doesn’t HAVE to be in the first, but the longer they wait the lower the chances are that they hit on one.
