2025 Wide Receivers

[smithandrew051]

Let’s not draft morons this time.

Who do you like?

[Bowser]

Who do you have that is super talented, but yet not a psychopath or an absolute dumb****? Any Larry Fitgerald or Calvin Johnson models available we could get our hands on, hopefully?

[Bowser]

I've been on the Burden bandwagon from the jump, hopefully that's not a pipe dream. With the news today, we might grab Theo Wease later and just take both Mizzou wideouts, and hopefully Royals, too. We also might be forced now to overpay for Hollywood or a Tyler Lockett type, especially if Rashee is hit with a suspension to start the season.

Good lord.

[smithandrew051]

Never mind. We good.

[kccrow]

LOL.

Can we get Hopkins to come back on an affordable deal?

But do we even want him back, really?

I'll take another vet, but he looked like he had lost two and a half steps by the end of the season. If we're going to throw money at another vet, at this point I'd be more interested in Lockett.

As much as Id like a WR like Burden in the first, They would have to take Oline or Dline.

If a top RB is there or a TE, Id be OK with that too.

Could go CB as well, I suppose.

If there is a LT they like, thats the pick. Otherwise D line is my prediction.

Let’s be real, after spending a 1st on Worthy last year and 2nd on Rice the year before, they’re not taking a WR at 31.

Here’s an entirely realistic scenario, though:

Egbuka or Burden drop to 31. You KNOW the Patriots are calling as this is their best chance to land an elite young WR for Maye at a fair cost controlled price. They offer up #38 (7 picks later) and their 3rd (#77) to move up.

Do you take that if you’re KC if there’s not someone at 31 you’re absolutely in love with? Just a lot of guys you like, some of which are likely gonna still be available at #38.

I’ve seen burden drop into the top of the third in several mocks now. I think round 2 could be a sweet spot but I’m absolutely not ruling out another wr at 31. I think there’s a better chance of a difference making wr there than LT. I can see the argument for DT but there will be plenty there after 32 as well. I think there’s only thing that would surprise me at 31 is RB. But if Hampton was there I’d run that card in myself.


We have one glaring hole and the draft doesn’t appear to have an immediate fix. Just draft good player. Prioritize weapons for Mahomes.

Hell yes, I'd do that, and then I'd dance a little jig around the suite.

We've got holes to fill and need young, cheap talent. That would give us, what, five picks in the top 100?

In a heartbeat.

Yeah, Id do that! This is the draft to have volume.

Good lord.

Ive liked Burden ever since I seen him really dismantle a K-State team a few years ago.

Interesting advanced stats lists from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NFL_Draft/c...ardscontested/

Dont’e Thornton Jr is of particular interest in the thread: 6-5, 205, 4.3 speed, 25.4 ypa, x6 50+ yard plays (#1 in the nation), he excels at deep targets almost exclusively… would be an interesting weapon in KC.

With the FA moves, I think a WR is 100 percent still on the board at 31 if one of Egbuka or Burden is there.

DL makes sense, but with the additions of Jaylon Moore and Kristian Fulton, I think you have enough pretty much everywhere that there is NOT a position you have to lock in on.

And that's where you want to be. In all likelihood, it seems like the best player available is most likely to be a defensive lineman. But if you get a chance to add either of those guys as weapons for this offense, I think you do it.

It future-proofs you at WR and keeps your room extremely cheap heading into 2026 (3 rookie deals, one eligible for an extension). Which gives you tremendous flexibility to stack the roster elsewhere.

Everyone talks about the benefits of cheap rookie deals at QB, but WR is entering the territory where having an inexpensive but highly productive room is a huge roster advantage, too.
