He had 800 plus yards in each of his first two years with Big Ben. The next two he played with Mason Rudolph, run first Justin Fields and Trevor Simien. What was he supposed to do with them QB's?
We might get him, we might not. But these are the cheap, undervalued guys Veach loves imo. [Reply]

EXACTLY. The last WR's we got who had 800 plus yards multiple times before coming to KC was who? SAMMY WATKINS and JUJU. Claypool is younger and cheaper than both of those guys were when we got them. Too many folks love to look at the surface without taking a look at things in finer details. Put Claypool with Pat and I'd be extremely confident he does better than MVS, Watson, Moore and Toney. No doubts whatsoever. [Reply]

The risk is what we saw last year. Thinking reclamation project receivers would be a big part of the offense but once they fail the offense stalls. [Reply]

The difference is Claypool has proven himself. Toney, Moore etc haven't. [Reply]

Oh I definitely don't want to bet it all on Claypool. We need to either have a solid FA add, or a high draft pick spent. Signing somebody like Claypool would need to be in addition to that. [Reply]

Good observation.
Appreciate it. Went back and watched his two years playing with Big Ben and it was eye opening. Kid had everything and was winning at all three levels plus doing sweeps and Jet plays. We'd have nothing to lose taking a chance on him imo. [Reply]
