If it wasn't going to be Flowers, I wanted a taller receiver. I thought Rice was a much better pick than Moore, but I still just want a taller receiver. (not Ross. That experiment is probably never paying off) I also wanted Johnston, and who knows how he would have performed with Reid and Mahomes. I mean, the Chargers took a TD machine in Ekeler and turned him into a scrub this year, so maybe Johnston can't be judged by their offense this year.

Can you imagine if Mahomes had a guy like Mike Williams (a healthy Mike Williams) who seems to catch every jump ball or contested pass? That would be very valuable to this team.

Unless the player is blazing fast, or is a very obvious pick, I am sick of receivers 6' and under. I know Rice is listed at 6'1" but when he stands next to Mahomes, he sure doesn't look like it, if Mahomes is actually 6'2" then Rice is maybe, maybe 6'

I am a huge Rice fan now. But, I still want a big receiver. A tall, actual NFL caliber receiver, who actually plays tall. MVS is listed at 6'4" but he is the smallest 6'4" receiver I have ever seen. Nothing about his game has anything to do with his size.

I still fantasize about Mike Evans and Mahomes
