2025 Wide Receivers - Page 6

Let’s not draft morons this time.

Who do you like?

This might be the most Chiefs WR in the draft. This looks exactly like what the Chiefs look for. Bonus is that this kid is 190 lbs so he’s not super skinny.

Virginia Tech WR Jaylin Lane's athleticism showed up at the combine, and that's a good thing. Because it was a bit hidden in that passing game. I'd expect him to catch on in the NFL as a speed slot guy with gadget potential. Some real upside here. pic.twitter.com/4i2YZmShVC

We have a lot of slot players though. Wouldn’t hate it. But kind of all of our wrs are best from the slot or off.

Royals is the most 'Chiefs' receiver that may slide to us, IMO. I could see us taking him if he's at the back of 2.

Fast, physical enough, good route runner, by all accounts a willing blocker/teammate.

May not work out, in which case we'd be looking at someone like maybe Ayomanor or Kyle Williams. Lane could be in that group as well in the back of the 3rd or into the 4th. Maybe Jordan Watkins in the 7th round or De'Corian Clark.

But I think they want someone out there that can be physical and also be athletic enough to do the 'run-offs' that they like doing with someone like Watson or Watkins before him. They don't always use those receivers purely as pass-catchers and right now I think their 'big 3' are all guys that are somewhat lacking in those sort of gritty areas that they like to have someone occupy.

I'm not sure Lane does that. He feels more like a Skyy Moore replacement than a Justin Watson one. Remigio already gives us the Skyy Moore replacement. I don't see anybody on the roster who they'll want doing what Watson did.

I'm starting to get a bit of a crush on Royals, though. Be awfully happy if we get him but I also don't think we'll see a ton of him this season. He's still pretty green.

I'm big on Jalen Royals if we choose not to/can't get Burden or Egbuka in the first. And I agree with you, DJ - we'll have to take him at 63 or 66 if he's on our radar.

Lane has some long friggin' arms for his frame. Catch radius is crazy!

kccrow · 04-04-2025, 04:49 PM

I prefer Jaylin Noel to Kyle Williams myself but draft position is going to matter. Noel may not make it to us in round 2 but if he does it's going to be really tempting.

**SAGA45** · 04-04-2025, 05:21 PM

If I had to pick a 'Guy' in this WR group it'd probably be Jayden Higgins. Good lord, the havoc that him, Rice, Hollywood, and Worthy would wreak!!

Tory Horton 4.41 in the snow coming off a knee injury. Somebody is going to get a gem with this guy in the 4th round.

James Palmer reporting that some team may grab Higgins at the end of round 1. I don’t think Higgins is a guy we would target though (Reid and Veach prefer smaller shiftier guys).

Plus, James Palmer is hearing whispers that NFL teams might be eyeing Higgins at the end of the first round!https://t.co/5vcBxsYp5y

Oooh... I said in my overrated/underrated guys segment that I think Higgins is a better receiver than Tet. He is absolutely being slept on. If this team actually used a big WR, I'd be screaming for this kid.

I think he's my top guy at WR.

Not surprised at all

Chris Meck · 04-05-2025, 09:30 PM

I'm never listening to Steve Smith talk about WR projects ever again.

He talked me into Skyy Moore.

**** that guy.

So, curious question, when you look at players like Higgins and Egbuka do you consider the level of opponents played (i.e conference they played in and it's level of competition) or the use of the players talents in the Chiefs "system"? I am NO guru like you and DJ as well as others - just wanted your opinion, or anyone else's opinion regarding the question asked.

Why Higgens > Harris, out of curiosity?
