Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.
As for Andy Reid and the @Chiefs , the WR spot is a replaceable position in that system. Reid spent his formative coaching years with Mike Holmgren with the @packers and the general belief was that the scheme/QB creates the WR. No need for a 1st rounder either.. #NFLDraft
It sucks, but let's not forget that the offense functioned pretty well without him for several games in 2019. Averaged close to 30 ppg, I think. They had their way with the Ravens' D without him.
He also barely played vs Pittsburgh last year (and Kelce didn't play at all) and they still had their way and looked as good as they had all season.
They can definitely find ways to replace the production, but it obviously sucks to lose the speed and homerun potential. [Reply]

Ehhhh, I don't know about that. Losing one of the most electrifying WR's in the NFL is going to leave a dent. The question is "how big of a dent". [Reply]

Sorry for you guys, I would hate this as well too. But damn if it ain't good for the Bills. Hill is the ultimate weapon.

Decisions like Clark and the lack of cohesion throughout the defensive unit have been the bitch-point.
Correct... we agree. It's hard to pay up for low level talent when you are paying the bulk of your cap to 5-6 guys. We are then left with minimums being paid to Niemann and slightly more than minimum to Sorenson. Not paying Tyreek "could" effect that outcome, but paying Tyreek would have mandated that structure.

That CERTAINLY cannot be the plan.
Some of the same people who talk about how hard it is to play WR in Reid's system and how complicated it is to learn and use it as an excuse for mecoles development are now acting like replacing Hill and drafting a day 1 contributor will be so easy. [Reply]

Thats the word I have been looking for "electrifying" [Reply]

Thinking that the WR position can be propped up by scheme/system rather than talent has gotten the Chiefs in trouble before under Andy Reid... i.e. the 2014 season when no Chiefs WR caught a TD and they missed the playoffs. [Reply]
