We can get a swiss army knife who can do work in the intermediate zones while at least having the option to stretch the field. I want a guy who can handle all coverages with full route tree. Get us a ridley or aiyuk prototype then offer a speed option on the other side.

Ridley is fine, but I ain't paying what he's gonna cost. Keep drafting and developing if you aren't gonna go get real good guys that aren't old.

If it wasn't going to be Flowers, I wanted a taller receiver. I thought Rice was a much better pick than Moore, but I still just want a taller receiver. (not Ross. That experiment is probably never paying off) I also wanted Johnston, and who knows how he would have performed with Reid and Mahomes. I mean, the Chargers took a TD machine in Ekeler and turned him into a scrub this year, so maybe Johnston can't be judged by their offense this year. Can you imagine if Mahomes had a guy like Mike Williams (a healthy Mike Williams) who seems to catch every jump ball or contested pass? That would be very valuable to this team. Unless the player is blazing fast, or is a very obvious pick, I am sick of receivers 6' and under. I know Rice is listed at 6'1" but when he stands next to Mahomes, he sure doesn't look like it, if Mahomes is actually 6'2" then Rice is maybe, maybe 6' I am a huge Rice fan now. But, I still want a big receiver. A tall, actual NFL caliber receiver, who actually plays tall. MVS is listed at 6'4" but he is the smallest 6'4" receiver I have ever seen. Nothing about his game has anything to do with his size. |

Mahomes doesn't throw those go up and get them jump balls though. Get guys that get separation.

Big, jump ball receivers are just not what he's gonna take full advantage of. Guys that are great YAC players, smart in reading coverage and who can get early separation - that's what work in this offense and with this QB. And obviously we need a downfield threat somewhere - we know this. That's why we signed MVS and why we keep playing him. So look for a fast WR in the draft this year to replace MVS. Fellas - watch that college football championship closely because I still think we're looking at Jalen McMillan...

They aren’t going to trade for Aiyuk.
Not that it wouldn’t be fun. |

Obviously, anything can happen…but I think with them only having 5 picks (likely to get at least one comp to make it 6 picks) …limited cap space… a lot of guys hitting FA they would like to keep, I’m not sure that kind of a swing would get them the return they want. I could definitely be wrong.
We would realistically be sending SF our first or a couple 2s and then being in a position we need him to get extended quickly because the tag #$ for WRs is around 21m. I completely agree that he would help make this offense dynamic… But for those resources, would you get better return by signing a Evans or Lockette short term while coming back and drafting a WR in the first 2 rounds. That probably gets us a top 5-7 WR (in a very very strong class) and lets us have another pick at our disposal, as well. |

He’s been underutilized his whole college career. He’s 6-4 and high points and runs really clean routes and creates much more separation than you’d expect given his size. He’d be a nice complement to Rice, especially if you add a super speedy Z guy and can send that guy screaming downfield with Mitchell running the stuff off of the defense’s reaction to the Z.
