Will he get past him by week 14? 17?
(Yes, this is petty as hell but I loved me some Calvin Austin and I friggen hate that he's a damn dirty Steeler when he should be out here putting dudes in a blender for us with that insane athleticism...)
I think those tiny receivers go in waves. Sometimes they're REALLY out of fashion, then someone works out how to use them and everyone's all in on the jitterbugs. I liked Austin too but a guy who's like 165lbs is always going to have some role limitations. Personally, given limited, specific roles is where we seem to have gone, I love those guys late 2nd onwards. I thought Atwell was the limit and where the vogue for midgets would end but even he seems to be working out in LA now. Give them a clear role and they can tear it up. I guess jack-of-all-trades is worse than master of one. [Reply]
If Donovan Smith signs a team friendly deal and Veach can resolve the Chris Jones situation then I am 100% all for drafting a WR and TE in the first 2 rounds.
They need to use a high asset on TE next year. There's no doubt about that. [Reply]
Skyy is like Clyde. He doesn't have threatening speed and is strictly a horizontal player. The problem is defense are sitting in these zones without fear. Then Rice comes in the game and it takes defenders by surprises.
Not only that. Skyy has awkward chemistry with Patrick to a lesser degree Mecole. Patrick clearly doesn't trust him and that's the biggest red flag of all.
With all that said the Chiefs offense needs to go off this week. The Jets embarrassed our WR's on SNF. [Reply]

Chiefs just need to keep shooting.
Draft a WR every year, or at least every other year.
and don't trade down with the steelers when George Pickens is there, just pick Pickens [Reply]
patrick doesn't trust skyy because skyy can't run a decent route and that's gonna be a huge problem is a scheme heavy offense. with pat, you either have game changing, playmaking ability like travis or you just do what you're supposed to do. skyy checks neither box. [Reply]

Which is a huge disappointment. Skyy was touted as one of the best route runners in his class. It's still early in his career but he's most certainly behind in his development. At some point you have to start giving his snaps to Rice. I don't think there's any shame in that. Rice was a more explosive player the first day he walked through the door, a guy Patrick hand chose.

Nah.
I mean if there's one that falls or they really like, but don't go hunting that early [Reply]
You could say that about any position really. The defense looks so good and is young for the 2 years after this one. The OL is still cheapish overall and can probably be something to find on day 2/3 this Spring.
Seems like weapons need to be Veach's next thing to attack. Kelce looks like he's starting to decline. [Reply]
