Send it to Watkins.. maybe the bulletin board material will help him.

Yes, I have red and gold glasses on today. :D Also worth noting that Watkins has shown greatness in the red zone, which has been an area of concern for the Chiefs.

I hope they keep publishing shit like this. Hardly a mention of Mahomes ability to go deep and the strain Watkins will out on defenses helps every aspect of the offense. Sure we could have spent half as much for Jordy Nelson but giving real money to a WR seven years older than Watkins would have been even more foolish.

Maclin wouldn’t have been cut had he not sucked ass. Seriously why do people talk like he was a top 10 wr? He disappeared when we needed him the most.

I'll say this. I am anxious to see what Veach will do for the defense but if he doesn't do much other than drafting defense and the defense is average to below-average next year, we will be left to wonder if he shouldn't have gone for a cheaper WR and have more money left to help the defense.

When’s the last time we had a good QB who himself can utilize WR1 and WR2? Trent Green? Alex couldn’t do it. We have every right to believe Mahomes will make these guys great.

If the defense can keep opponents to under 40 pts, Chiefs will be fine. :)

I disagree. Veach’s job is one of making choices. None are easy. To build the team for the long run it HAS to be built through the draft. No one is sever able to field the perfect team. I’d rather surround our franchise QB with outstanding talent than have Albert Wilson and some fatty on the d-line under contract.

Yeah, not sure why this is threadworthy.

The amount of money paid is a concern but i see no reason to find fault with finally expanding our options at wr.

5 Receiver set:

Hill, Watkins, Conley, Kelce, DAT/Hunt/Robinson (your pick)

:drool:

If Watkins stays healthy he will probably end up being our #1 receiver. He is a more complete receiver than Hill. Robinson better ranked higher than that, he has the potential to be our #3 wr.

I think this article was doomed when the author chose to use the word reckless- which would mean - (of a person or their actions) without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action.

The basis of the article makes it seem as if Veech signed Watkins on a whim as if he was making some late night bid on Ebay after drinking all night.

When in fact, by Veech's own words, he wanted to acquire Sammy last season. It was far from a reckless decision, but a long, thought out, calculated one not just based on stats but what Sammy can do for this offense.

Watkins can score from anywhere on the field and creates mismatches against defenses by his speed alone, not to mention he has great hands. Now Mahomes has 4 players that can change the game in one play and are threats to score every time they step on the field. That is why the Chiefs paid a premium and it was definitely not a reckless choice.
