Goddamn what a great receiving core this is if we get this guy

Would be a great move to replace Wilson with no loss of talent. Really hope Veach gets this done.

And Mahomes will make him look just as good for a fraction of the cost. Love it

Kendall Wright would be a massive upgrade over Alligator Arms Albert Wilson.

If there really are going to be a ton of air raid concepts on offense this year then the signing makes sense as he'd see a lot of playing time. Might be looking at a 1 year deal where he sees it as a chance to catch 80+ balls for a lot of yards as everyone forgets about him.

I don't see any chance that he gets 80+ catches as Kendall would be be the 4th-5th targeted guy in the Chiefs offense?

Kelce
Hill/Watkins
Hunt/Wright

I'm gonna use the Patriots stats from last season as an example (most completions last year in NFL):

Gronk 69 catches (classic Gronk) on 106 targets
Cooks 65 catches on 115 targets
Amendola 61 catches on 86 targets
White 56 catches on 72 targets
Hogan 34 catches on 59 targets

I think if Kendall signs with the Chiefs it's for two reasons:
1. He wants to be on a offense with other weapons around him, I think more often than not Kendall has been on teams with not many other receiving threats (Titans/Bears).
2. He wants to be on a winning team- 6 years into his career he has had a winning record once (9-7 missed playoffs in 2016).

Mecca · 03-23-2018, 09:45 AM

He could conceivably see a lot of catches as the chain mover because if they're constantly showing 4 and 5 wides he's going to have a matchup he can win pretty much every time.

I agree the fit is perfect- I don't think Kendall Wright in his career has ever been the beneficiary of receiving the lesser matchups but 80+ catches is never going to happen (only 15 players last year had 80+ receptions).

If he repeated his numbers from last year that would be a huge win (59 catches for 614 yards).

Chief Northman · 03-23-2018, 09:52 AM

If he agrees to a one year deal, Wright can garner 45-55 catches easily assuming he is healthy, put up some nice numbers, and profit down the line with one more multi-year contract before he turns 30. Seems like a good situation both for him and the Chiefs.

I am a bit surprised they are going after Wright and not planning on using Chesson to take Wilson's spot. As late as November- the Chiefs were still high on him according to this article. It even states that he can play any position.

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...184438643.html

“He does what we ask him really well, and that’s understand what the offense is asking you to do on each and every play,” Lewis said. “He’s versatile enough to play all the positions we ask him, and he’s a physical presence when he gets out there. I’m excited to continue to see him out there.”

Chiefs brass loved Chesson’s size (6 feet 3, 203 pounds), jump-ball skills and athleticism; he was one of the best-tested at his position.

Chesson would create a lot of matchup problems in the slot with his size.

What do you think?

That and I can imagine he wants a qb who will get him the ball. Chicago wouldn't pass the ball. Marriota isn't a good QB and he stares down his primary options. But a vertical offense that opens up the underneath... I don't think he cares about being an 80 catch receiver. But if he can be a good underneath option, and I think he will be... If Albert Wilson can make $8m, he can make much more next contract

I hope we can add Wright and Watson soon.

Our offense will have that depth that PHI had last year after they went out and added piece after piece through FA and the draft.

Sounds like Conley's replacement. If Andy is going full Air-Raid, which I believe is happening, the team is likely going to need 5-6 WRs.

Hill
Watkins
Wright
Chesson
Robinson/Conley (may be on PUP)
DAT (mostly ST)

RunKC · 03-23-2018, 10:35 AM

We saw a preview in Denver of the offense Andy will run next year. He’s going to go full air raid and have 4 to 5 receivers on the field spreading the entire defense out.

I like it. Rarely do teams have 3 good corners, no less 4 or 5.

Kelce, Watkins, Hill and Wright with Hunt in the backfield. How the hell do you stop that?

They badly need to address LG/C. Witzmann is an easy cut with zero dead money. Morse has to prove he can hold up for a season and his play was average at best last season. A fatty will be taken with one of the first three picks IMO.

Add in Kelce and Hunt- that is a lot of weapons.

The Chiefs have never been this loaded with talent on Offense.

If you read that article is talks about Alex not wanting to throw to rookies or a receiver not on his FaceBook friends list- because it might cost him some stats. Unlike Alex, I think Mahomes will throw to whoever is open and trust them to make the catch.

I think Mahomes might break 10,000 passing yards in a season.

That is a great question. I am not sure you can stop it? I think the odds are- someone will beat their man every single play- our skill players are too fast and elusive. The O line just needs to give Mahomes time to go through his progressions. Unlike Alex- he is not a 1 read QB, Mahomes does not give up on plays.

We are going to flat out wear defenses down chasing us around all day with a heavy dose of Hunt pounding it inside. Pretty sure we won't see teams stacking the box against Hunt this year. Pick your poison- do want Hunt to average 6 yards a carry or risk getting burned deep?
