We like YAC and Screens

Do with this whatever you want Chiefs fans..

Main take from this…. Probably a reason KC hasn’t prioritized or heavily invested in the upper-left/X WR prototype.

Mel Kiper, FWIW, has been on this guy for a few months. He's said a few times that Corley or a guy like Javon Baker wouldn't surprise him if one of them are the best receivers from this draft 10 years from now.

I think there is a correlation between our attempts to be cute with yac guys in the red zone and our lack of a true size guy.

Andy needs to get over whatever aversion he has to playing big in the red zone, because it's costing the team points.

[Dante84]

Literally every receiver we have on that chart is on the right half, and even the ones that there's been rumored interest from KC in. He even missed highlighting Devontae Smith and Jameson Williams.

So, if that should hold true, some guys to watch for that might be high on our radar:

- Malik Nabers, LSU (probably won't have a chance)
- Xavier Worthy, Texas
- Ladd McConkey, Georgia
- Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky
- Brenden Rice, USC
- Jamari Thrash, Louisville
- Jacob Cowing, Arizona
- Tahj Washington, USC

[staylor26]

I'm convinced we're taking Worthy or McConkey if we go WR in round 1 now.

It’s interesting to compare this draft to previous drafts. If you look at treylon burks, he was supposed to be the aj brown replacement. Where would he rank in this class? I think Burk’s was drafted in the late teens? And I’d rather have Adonai Mitchell, Keon Coleman and Legette. This is deep wr draft. The top 15-20 WRs all have parts of their game that could be interesting. Basically, you can get 1st round talent at wr in the 2nd round this year. 2nd round talent in the third. I’m not sure where the talent falls off. But I even like Gould as a slot guy in the 4th or 5th.

I've been saying for awhile now that for some reason my gut tells me Corley is our WR target in round 2. He can come in and contribute day 1 and fills 2 needs for us. Plug and play.

I can see it, but I also feel that his skill set is a little too similar to Rice. Feels redundant, but with Hollywood signed, it's still possible.

[kccrow]

The problem with Corley is that like 60% of his receptions came from the slot and another 30% came from screens. Not ideal. You can find slots for days. We need a guy that knows how to win on the outside.

I’d be all for an all in year. Use a first from next year if you need to, but get Mahomes a star LT and WR. Move up from 32 and move as far up as we can from 64. Then move up again from 95.

We have ammo and will be getting comp picks next year. This draft fits perfectly with our needs at vastly important positions. If we used 2 of our early picks next year to move up, I think it would be pretty damn smart.

I don't agree about using a 1st for next year, but I'd be down to do a couple trade ups with 2 of our day 2 picks for next year if it means locking up WR and LT long term.

If you want to check out an intriguing late round prospect, check out Bub Means. I would easily spend a 7th round pick on him to be a WR 5 or 6. He's a natural hand catcher, has good size and speed.

[Couch-Potato]

Which current WRs around the league could we trade for now that we have cap space?

Saw someone suggest a surprise trade for between the Chiefs and Seahawks for Dk Metcalf.

That'd certainly be something.
