WR's the Chiefs had a chance at drafting at 30 (if they drafted Jermaine Johnson at 21 they could have and should have gone WR at 30)
Watson
Robinson (over-drafted IMO)
Metchie
Thorton (over-drafted IMO)
If they went WR at 50 they could have had
Pickens
Pierce
Yes, the Chiefs chose Moore over Pickens so we will see. That being said, I trust Pittsburgh's draft and development of the WR position over the Chiefs. They seem to always find studs. The Chiefs lucked into Hill and haven't drafted well at all at the position otherwise.
Moore seems to be a slot WR that can play outside if needed and I have big-time reservations about the level of competition he played. Because of this and the lack of receivers on the roster next year, WR #1 and maybe #2 will be priority #1 next off-season.

Well, the guys that went before pick 20 were never on the board when KC selected. So that makes that part easy. Without trading up in the second several of those were already gone as well.
For me it was George Pickens, that was my guy. With that said we already have MVS and we know how defenses like to play us. A notable knock on Pickens is he doesn't create the separation you'd like to see on many of his routes. He doesn't break many tackles either. However, he has great hands and is a contested catch machine. Fine player, I really liked him.
Different story with Moore. Under sized but his hands are massive, an absurd 10.25". He's a polished route runner and runs a full route tree. On top of that he broke a ton of tackles last year with 26. He beats press man with ease with his shiftiness and acceleration. He's also faster than Pickens by quite a bit, 4.41 vs 4.47. Factor in durability concerns with Pickens vs a clean bill of health with Moore and I don't think it's all that close.
I kinda wrote off Skyy early as a slot receiver vs some of the long stallions in this class like Pickens, Williams, and Watson. But the hype on Skyy is real. Pair him up with Andy and Patrick then watch him be the best WR in this class. It's all ahead of us.
Tyreek will be jelly.
