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.

It can. He won't be looking to try and force feed one guy the way we have seen him before. Reading defenses will be more on his mind than him just looking deep to Hill and chuck it up like he did on the last play of the season. [Reply]
I don't see Hill's game aging well. Once he loses a step he's just a fast WR afraid of contact. The Chiefs got several years of extreme surplus value out of him then spun him off to retool their depth. [Reply]
Seems like this was foreshadowed a bit in the KC Star, when Tyreek Hill had Tyreek Hill Day in Douglas, Georgia, on March 12, 2022, on same day as the Mahomes wedding in Hawaii.
I thought it was a little off that the tribute day was scheduled for same day. [Reply]
Sucks in the short-term. Absolutely great in the long-term. As long as we have Mahomes we will be fine. Build up the defense to be an absolutely dominating unit to pair with a Mahomes led offense. This gives Veach the draft picks and cap space to do that. [Reply]

You would be OK with giving hill that contract? [Reply]

29 and 50 isn't a bad start, but for YEARS this board has justified bad decisions with these late 1st round picks as 'its virtually a 2nd anyway' and now we're supposed to pretend like it has the value that the Raiders pick had that they shipped to GB?
If 29 is the 'top' asset, there needs to be more ancillary pieces to justify it. And friggen 4th round picks ain't that.
You use 4th rounders to move up 6 spots in the 2nd. You don't use them to put a deal over the top for a HoF ****ing pass catcher.
That needed to be, at WORST, a 2 next year and honestly I'd have given up a 3 or something this season to see that be one of their 1sts next year.
It's just bad return. You can't get less than the Packers got for Adams and somehow we did.
Veach blinked. Wouldn't be the first time.
All depends on which draft value chart you follow. KC, based on the Brown deal last year, seems to follow the old Johnson chart fairly closely. Which is what draftek is based on, right?
22: 780
53: 370
29: 640
50: 400
121: 52
2023 4th: 25 (estimating based on 2022 5th)
2023 6th: 1 (estimating based on 2022 7th)
