Veach says he regrets passing on him in the draft.

Also, we don't have much precedent with "jump ball" WRs besides Hopkins, who was clearly washed. We can't definitively say that it wouldn't work out with the right guy.

We've had the prime years of the GOAT TE who is about 6'6 and we never really threw those.

It's just not something we're gonna do here.

That's not Kelce's game. He's a YAC guy despite his size. They found other, better uses for him. Meanwhile, someone like Gonzalez excelled at jump balls because he wasn't elusive after the catch. Maybe if Mahomes had a Gonzalez, he would have thrown more lobs to him. It wouldn't be as effective as Kelce, but would help in the red zone.

Also, Metcalf is fast. He's not just some big WR who catches lobs. He can stretch a defense. It's been a few years now, but he ran a 4.33 dash. His highlight reel isn't just jump balls.

It's not gonna happen, but something that should be considered as we're staring down a future of this no longer being a TE based offense.

I think others here have talked about transitioning to a WR focused offense, and I think that makes sense. If we can lean a liiiittle bit more on a running game too, even better.

You don't think it's something Kelce would have excelled at?

They want guys that get separation.

Maybe. But he didn't need to. He excelled with his style. Kelce was basically a WR/TE hybrid.

Metcalf isn't worth $30 million for the Chiefs but he can get separation.

4 years of Rice, Worthy and THIS?

I'm coming around, no matter the cost.

Seattle is looking for a 1st and 3rd for Metcalf. There is no way in hell Veach is trading for him. None. Zip. Zero. Nadda.

I think they'll eventually settle for the Patriots 2nd.

I'm looking for a soapy tit-wank with Sydney Sweeney.

They aren't getting anywhere NEAR that, considering the contract he'll be asking for.

General consensus seems to be a R3 pick and a 3 year, $88M deal with $40-50M guaranteed.

Posters will see this and still think we need to pay Bolton or Reid or both instead of trading and paying him when this WR room has been composed of MVS, Watson, Skyy, Toney and Hopkins the last 2 years.

Reports are the Seahawks would be lucky to get a 2nd. No idea why trading one of 63 or 66 is a bad deal.

Do we want the offense to be good again or not?

Can't they just take Mecole Hardman for him?

Might come down to settling for a top of 2 plus something else because not a lot of playoff teams are going to take on 18m

We don’t need DK Metcalf at $30M per year, while also subtracting really good draft capital to be good again on offense. Good grief snap out of it Run.

We need an average or better left tackle to be really good on offense again. That’s it. Because that is what’s going to get Mahomes back on track too. The weapons are not a problem. We’re talking about needing RB help definitely and a WR3 + 4. That’s it.

Just sign Lockett.






Would've been cool to select him over Phil Gaines lmao
