I still see rashee as a change in mentality. Especially as we transition to a lesser Kelce we need more swiss army knives. It was mentioned before that Reid wants these WRs to play lots of roles but I think we're seeing these guys aren't adaptable enough to play outside their lane. For example, it's awesome to have mecole for specific type of plays where his burst and acceleration is unstoppable. But that has meant putting him in a lot of spots he wasn't built for. For today we can rely on Reid's wizardry and ask mahomes to shoulder a little more for a little bit longer. We will get it cleaned up. But next year I think we need to focus more on consistency.

I think Sky and Hardman were brought in to play the slot position. Hardeman in the panic on maybe losing Tyreke and Sky taking over for Hardeman who was on his way out.
I think they missed on Sky's athletic ability He just does not have an extra gear or quickness you need in the slot. Mecole does not have the ability to change speeds and get in and out of breaks or hands. He just has speed.
Rashee I think was drafted to play outside. He looks like he will be good but right now still struggling with getting separation vs. press man coverage. Which is our major problem on offense. We are good against zones and Patrick can break off a run every now and then vs man but overall no one is getting separation vs tight man coverage.
