Give me Mooney and a draftee no later than the second and I'll take my chances.

Agreed.

I don't think you need to go spend $20+ million on a superstar #1. I think you can find a Brandin Cooks/Jakoby Myers sort of quality middle class veteran who can step in as a strong complement to Rice while you develop the 1st/2nd round rookie.

And yes, patience will again be required. And you'd better hope the rookie is better than Skyy Moore.

Malik Washington from Virginia declared today. He led the nation in receptions and was 4th in yards. He's not the tallest WR but has a good frame. He's more quick than fast. Has great hands and is fun to watch. Here's a highlight video, enjoy.

If we can keep CJ I'd be good with this plan.

Going to be plenty of quality 2nd round WRs.

^Quality listen regarding Chiefs upcoming draft decisions and prospect targets.

Apparently, there are so many 1st rd QBs this year that will likely drive down high value targets as potential late 1st rounders.

Speaking of quality late 2nd rounders, DraftBuzz latest rankings...

11. L. McConkey
12. J. Polk
13. M. Corley
14. B. Thomas Jr
15. A. Mitchell
16. M. Washington
17. B. Rice

Particularly noting that they dropped Adoni Mitchell to #15, interesting. They also have Keon Coleman at #9.

Jonesy's gone, bro. Just get used to the idea.

Had the WR room developed as hoped this season, it might be possible to pay him, and cut MVS and draft a speed guy to roll with, but it didn't.

Our first round pick with be in SF and Aiyuk will be here.

Learn to love it.

Xavier Legette please and thank you.

This offense is looking for an identity going forward, and Rice & Legette would give them two big physical WRs that are deadly after the catch.

Legette not doing...anything at all for four years and then suddenly is Megatron in year 5 really spooks me.

What's crazy is I haven't heard anyone address this yet? Nothing on the draft profiles, articles, or podcasts I've listened to. Someone just ask the guy already I want to hear his rebuttal.

Watching SF this weekend and noting how physical Deebo and Aiyuk looked after the catch and thinking to myself the exact same thing... "Man! It'd be nice to have a couple of thick YAC type WRs in KC for DBs to worry about."

I'm not so sure.

But if he goes we have to get something for him.
