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.

Maybe in 2023, but shy a surprise cut from someone, the FA list is pretty much ass at this point. [Reply]

Sign Sammy Watkins and Will Fuller. Draft a WR in the first round. Trust Mahomes to be the badass that he is.
Hill was never going to stay here after his contract was up, so quit all the bitching. I'd still put money on the Chiefs to win the division this year. Losing Hill isn't the end of the team being good. [Reply]
Need to find a #1 WR/someone to replace the most explosive playmaker on your team and of course immediate edge rusher/defensive line and CB help.
And with the Chiefs waiting to do this trade until after the first wave of free agency has effectively ended... they are left with secondary options (at best) if they want to fill some of these holes via free agency with their new found salary cap room. [Reply]

Adversely! But we still have Patrick Mahomes, Mecole Hardman, and Travis Kelce to help the younguns along. It will be exciting to watch how our playcalling morphs with the new blood. And with our newly renovated defense, we won't be having to drop 40 points on these fucking clowns every week. [Reply]
Veach should NOT move up in this draft but instead follow the formula from last year. Let the picks drop to you. Maximize the draft and load your roster for years to come.
We can get two quality edge rushers, a receiver and a corner in the first two rounds. That's significant. [Reply]

Care to elaborate?
I kinda wondered the same thing. My thoughts turned to whether or not Andy will craft a revised offense with the AFCW pass rush additions:
- better emphasis on the running game (new stud RB)?
- possession type passing game (big body possession receiver and/or another TE)? [Reply]
