If the Chiefs had traded for Doubs somehow this offseason I bet we would be pretty pumped about having him.

Tbh, I don't remember anything said about Doubs. A quick check of his stats shows that he caught 42 balls for 425 yards. I had to watch a highlight vid of all his targets last season to remember who we're talking about.
He definitely flashed some talent, but also a lot of inconsistency with his route-running and catch mechanics. Though some of that might have just been alligator arm syndrome. He had a lot of drops, especially in traffic. Some were just balls he let get to his chest or shoulders, which is more about mechanics/technique. Some looked like he wasn't expecting the ball as quickly as it got to him, so maybe some timing issues in there. Wouldn't be surprising for a rookie.
Overall though, he showed a lot of talent/ability. I'll probably get flamed for saying so, but we might've been happier with Doubs over Skyy in 2022. He looks faster or at least quicker, with more deep speed, plus he's just a bigger target.
