And if you were to sign Hollywood as a FA, you truly couldn't make a better pick than Egbuka. I mean maybe one of the bigger bodied guys might float some boats, but I just don't care that much about height. Mahomes isn't gonna YOLO balls for guys to go up and get very often.

And if he has Rice, Brown and Egbuka out there getting open, it'll simply never be necessary. Those are three extremely complementary guys with very specific strengths but at the same time they're not LIMITED to those areas of strength.

MVS, for instance, is (was) a genuine deep threat but ONLY a deep threat. JJSS was a solid underneath receiver but ONLY an underneath receiver. Rice is a dynamic underneath catch and run threat, Brown is a dynamic deep threat, Egbuka is a silky route-runner who will be outstanding at finding separation at his break all over the field. But ALL of them can do anything else on occasion you'd ask from them. All three of those guys can catch a ball underneath or deep or run a bubble screen.

That would be an awfully good group of weapons.

Didn't Lachey say he was returning to Iowa? And honestly, Iowa TEs have done so well of late that I feel like he'll get a boost into the late 2nd. LaPorta is gonna make him some money.

Tart's another guy I've been trying to get people to pay attention to - I think he'd be a real nice pickup. I'd love to see another complementary DL either on the 2nd day or in FA (even if it's a DE who moves Omenihu to the inside on a semi-permanent basis) but you seem to have used Gaines for that. I'm just not a Gaines guy. Wasn't last season, am not now. I don't see what some others see in him - he's a complete JAG who MIGHT provide a small upgrade on Nnadi but even that's not something I'm sure of.

Good effort, sir. I'll get to work on willing Egbuka into existence.

That's where I'm at re: the WRs. I hadn't seen that re: Lachey but will be sad if true. That's probably good. I should have been more disciplined and taken a DT there.

On Gaines, I'm just looking for a generally competent guy to slot in there. Not set on him. I do really like Tart, though, and think he could be the type of signing that really outplays his contract.

KC needs a move or 2 this offseason that pay off like Trey Hendrickson for the Bengals, to really get the inevitable nature of things back together.

I think I'm alone on the Gabe Davis bandwagon, but that's why I like him. I think he can outplay whatever deal he ends up signing. But I do see the concerns there in that he's not really an all-fields player. He's mostly a seam stretcher/deep guy. A younger and IMO, better, MVS. And frankly, a slightly better version of the 2022 MVS would be a god-sent for this offense. If that's ALL he is, it's still a hell of an add to the WR room.

Gabe Davis is 7 for 150 and 2 or 0 for 0 for 0, dude is weird as hell.

I'd be fine with Davis paired with a strong outside WR in the draft or FA. It just cant be only Gabe Davis.

Oh no question.

I mean I'm looking at him as a possible THIRD entry to the WR room. Sign Brown, Draft Egbuka, sign Davis, keep Rice - that's your top 4. I really don't care about WR5 and 6. If that's Watson and Moore, so be it. Maybe Ross pushes one of 'em off the roster.

If Ross can hang around well enough to push someone out next year that would be ideal.

I still don't see any 'there' there.

But that one guy assures me he has 'game speed' and would've housed the ball that Rice didn't. So there's that.

I know there was a lot of excitement when he signed as a UDFA but I just don't think he's ever going to take that next step to be a better option than Watson. I hope I'm wrong.
