I wonder how much money they would need to move considering the cap space they have left is about what they need for the rookie pool.
A C Jones extension might help, plus D Hop is rumored to cost a 2nd + a player which further lightens our load.
...wondering if we might be able to get him for a 3rd now. NE went with JuJu, NYG aren't making a major move, BAL can't even afford a QB, DAL was fake news, not like there's a bidding war currently. [Reply]
Well, I can tell ya what he shouldn't do. Thats roll to camp with your WR1 Kadarius Toney and WR2 Skyy Moore. That would be an absolute disaster and I cant believe so many of you want to do that. You need to add a WR1 to offset the expected decline of Travis Kelce. It will happen. Farher time catches us all.
Veach has something up his sleeve, I just hope it isnt Adam Thielen. [Reply]
I think Veach can get creative at the WR position.
I'll be honest, there is part of me that wants to see OBJ (WR) as a Chiefs. I'd love to see what he could do with Patrick. And he would also bring a lot of swagger, which we lack at the position. But if he wants 20M, I'm out.
I don't like paying the price in draft picks for DHop. So I'm out.
I wouldn't mind a vet like Thielen so long as its team friendly. He would probably be an upgrade over Watson.
I still think a trade could is the best way to get a young WR with upside. The Jets probably need draft picks to get the Rogers deal done. I'd love to add a guy like Corey Davis to this team. There also has to be other guys you can get. [Reply]

Yep.
I feel like they really need a veteran in there that the rookies can continue to learn from. I know we have Kelce, but that’s not exactly the same thing. [Reply]

Me too. I would love to see what a more mature Mahomes could do with true, tall talented WR1. [Reply]

Hate it, but have to agree. Being serious, the WR room only managed 13 TDs last season.
The Chiefs won 11 games in 2022 scoring 27 points or less.
9 of those games were decided by less than 4 points
As it stands right now without JuJu, Watson and Hardman, that's 9 less TDs, 73 less 1st downs, and about 1,545 yards.
Look, if Toney can stay healthy, he's probably good for at least 1,000 yards, 50 1st downs and 7-10 TDs. The unknown is can he stay healthy. But if he does, no one's really worried about him being productive.
Skyy just has to somehow be 300% more effective. To 'take over' JuJu's role, he has to at a minimum triple his yards and score more than Juju's paltry 3 TDs.
Then we have Justin Watson, who is a FA, but we expect that he'll be back. He has to do something he's never done, and that's become a starting WR3/4? More than double his yards, triple his 1st downs, etc. 2022 was his career high. He finished the season with a 44% catch rate, and accounted for 315 yards, 12 1st downs and a pair of TDs.
That is not good. That's zero WRs we can at least 90% rely on to perform at a NFL WR1/2 standard in 2023.
And rookie WRs historically don't have 1,000 yard seasons in the NFL.
