Outside of a RB that we converted to WR our WR drafting has been a big solid meh. CB's, lineman, maybe even LB's and TE's have been pretty good, but until I see one of these guys blow up, I'm just not expecting much.
Overall, glad we went and got the WR we wanted, but outside of being a bit homerish I don't how can we go in with anything but low expectations.

Is that because mahomes wants to or because he doesn’t have WRs who can do that? in many ways I think it’s good mahomes has learned to do this. I also feel like there were many instances last year where he had to bail or do superhuman things in the pocket but just doesn’t trust his WRs to make these kinds of plays. So I’m excited about finally having this option as long as he uses it sparingly.
Without a doubt he will need to get coached up on separation so he’s not just a jump ball WR.
