Story by Andrew Gould

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl without a star wide receiver, but they could reportedly make an elite offense even scarier by acquiring DeAndre Hopkins.

NFL insider Benjamin Albright told PHNX Cardinals that Kansas City is the "primary suitor" for Hopkins. He doesn't know the draft compensation the Cardinals would receive, but he said it's more likely they get a second-round pick than a first.

After the 2022 season, theScore's Jordan Schultz reported that the Cardinals plan to trade Hopkins this offseason.

Arizona hired a new general manager and head coach after a disappointing four-win season, and Hopkins is set to make $19.45 million (with a $30.75 million cap hit) in 2023. The Cardinals could seek a clean slate by moving the three-time All-Pro wideout, who turns 31 in June.

Hopkins began his Cardinals career by tallying 1,407 yards and six touchdowns in 2020. However, multiple lower body injuries limited him to 10 games in 2021, and he served a six-game suspension to start the 2022 season for violating the NFL's PED policy.

Yet he remains an impact player when on the field. Hopkins totaled 474 receiving yards in six full games with quarterback Kyler Murray last season.

Now imagine what he can accomplish when catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs flourished without a star replacement for Tyreek Hill, but they could still benefit by solidifying the position this offseason. JuJu Smith-Schuster is a free agent after garnering 78 catches for 933 yards on a one-year deal. The depth chart features several talented question marks in Mecole Hardman, Kadarius Toney, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Adding Hopkins could be great news for Kansas City, but terrible for all opposing defenses.

Do we want a high priced prima donna?

They did it with hill.

The problem is lack of high picks

Well that should make a lot of this board happy since it seems about 50% of it thinks we need to just draft linemen over and over and never any weapons.

Who is actually saying this? Even Meck said that he's all for taking a WR early.

Even the ones with some success pretty much stayed who they were from rookie to departure. https://t.co/mQxV6AIjcG

That is a point I didn't think about...

I don't think it's unreasonable either, and it does feel odd for a team led by an offensive genius

O.city · 03-23-2023, 04:59 PM

Maybe in round 2 but none of the guys this year excite me too much in the first unless jsn falls

If I see one more post about how we must take an OT in the 1st this year my brain will explode...

I've seen it over and over, it hurts. I'll make sure to save the new ones but I don't want to take the time to go back over the old ones.

O.city · 03-23-2023, 05:00 PM

I think it’s a bit overblown how much guys really “develop” after college. So much of it is nuance stuff

The chiefs have gotten production out of wrs from all sorts of back grounds

In reality it's a stupid take, it's FA and draft season what does he think fans talk about?

Maclin.

Mecca · 03-23-2023, 05:02 PM

I mean how much developing did DeSean Jackson do?

He was a 5 star recruit top in the nation, was a high end college performer he only went in the 2nd because he's little.

I'm pretty sure even those people aren't agaisnt a WR in the 2nd. I can't think of a single person that has said don't draft a WR early or get Hopkins/OBJ.

Everybody is in agreement that we should do one or both.

It's pretty obvious if this is what it is, WR is far and away the biggest hole.

Doesn't feel like a Veach thing to do.

ToxSocks · 03-23-2023, 05:05 PM

I mean, what was our CB room looking like this time last year?

We were looking at starting, what....Sneed/Fenton and...Lonnie Johnson?

Wouldn't mind seeing the Chiefs throw draft picks at WR like they did DB.
