Uh, wasn't that what the Hardman pick was all about?
[Reply]

No.

Hardman is a completely different player than Watkins.

Watkins is big, strong, quick and provides excellent blocking at the line of scrimmage and down field.

Hardman is slight of build, is a sub-4.4 guy that's a great returner but still needs to improve his blocking and route running.

What do you think the Chiefs will do next year for Sammy’s role?

I would say the Hardman pick was a contingency plan for Hill. Hill/Hardman and Watkins are totally different players.
[Reply]

Correct, he was a hedge against Hill being suspended

And as others have said, he and Watkins are completely different players with different roles
[Reply]

As others have said, Hardman was a hedge against possibly losing Hill. Even if the team was completely convinced he was innocent, they were still trying to extend him and there was no guarantee they were going to reach an agreement with what was going on.

Watkins and Hardman are completely different types of receivers.

Plug in D.- Drops an move on

I like Tylan Wallace from Oklahoma St. as a potential Watkins replacement in the draft.

We can probably get him in the 2nd.
[Reply]

DeVonta Smith, Amon-Ra St. Brown would be good fits but Smith probably won't last that long.

We definitely should get a receiver in the second round which seems to be a sweet spot for teams with good scouts. Like us and the Steelers and the Seahawks.
[Reply]

Fuck that. Get us all the fatties and LBs!
[Reply]

Take a LB in the first if you want, but don't waste a second rounder on a fatty there is zero reason to.
[Reply]

what do you mean there is zero reason to take a fatty in the 2nd round?

You don't think we need to improve our talent on our Oline/Dline?
[Reply]

This is silly.

I understand not wanting OL in the 1st, but the 2nd?

Day 2 is the sweet spot for OL (outside of LT).

I should be clear that I think Andy/Veach will draft a WR in the hopes of that guy eventually taking over for Sammy, but for next season at least I think they want Sammy on the team, maybe as a mentor to whoever they draft/bring in.

So I'm not saying that they'll try to keep Sammy beyond next season, but I think they'll keep him around for next season.
