The Rams are getting excellent production from a 5th rounder in Nacua. They found one of the best receivers in the league in the 3rd round with Cooper Kupp. Whatever they are doing with McVay's coaching staff & front office, I wish KC could figure out something similar in terms of evaluation and coaching on the WR group.

Meh, I mean DRob hasn't entirely given up running backwards/sideways trying to make a play. Watched a highlight reel a week or two ago and he was at it again. But he made up the yards and gained a few extra. Which he did many times here in KC as well. I think it's just a part of his game, and sometimes it works out well, most of the time it doesn't really hurt, and sometimes it's a negative. But mostly it's either a non-factor or it's a net positive.
But yeah, McVay seems to have a nose for finding WRs in later rounds that KC seems to lack. Nacua is just an amazing example.
