Hopefully he can win on short routes as he can’t get open down field. He has great hand on the plus side..
A 4th (albeit our 4th) is an overpay. Works out similar to the A Cooper compo.
He's better than what the Chiefs have now, but I'm not super excited about an old WR who doesn't look like the same player he was even a year ago. [Reply]

You are right, if only we had the FASTEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE EVER playing along side him to get open downfield and let D-Hop take those underneath yards.

Remember when you claimed that Willie Gay’s vacuum incident would end his career?
Going from Will Levis to Mahomes will help Hopkins. [Reply]
The Rams and the the Chiefs discussed Cooper Kupp, but the Super Bowl champs needed to trade with a team that was willing to take on a large chunk of the salary and didn’t want to give up high picks. Tennessee is the team willing to play ball.

Now I don't think he's at 75 but please stop with the hyoerbole.
I am not saying dhop is at 75%. I am just saying that a WR impacted by injuries is still an upgrade for us given the state of our WRs. Juju thrived just by running the right routes and hitting the right spots. That is the floor if he ends up playing
I have no idea what % to use. Of course the idea is that he is healthy enough to reasonably play [Reply]
