He's none of the above. Not even close. Personally, I don't want to see a 32 year old guy taking away reps from Wilson, DAT or Conley, all guys that have big upsides and are the future of this receiving corp. Avant should be the fifth or six option, not the second, as someone suggested. That would be awful. |

Remember....this is a guy the Chiefs passed on when he was a F/A. He went and signed some 1 year vet minimum prove it deal with the Panthers.
It wasn't until they lost Avery and realized their WR's were unproductive did they pick this guy off the scrap heap. If they liked him that much, as much as some of you say they do, then why didn't they sign him for the vet minimum from the get-go? He's hardly safe from the chopping block.

Da'Ron Brown...similar to Avant, but younger, correct? What are the chances he makes the squad?

They have a history, Reid knows him well... he wouldn't be here, and wouldn't have been in the lineup so soon after arriving if he wasn't worth something. You seem to have a real stick up your ass about this. Wanna make a sig bet? I say he atleast makes the team, do you think he wont? |

No, i won't bet that he doesn't make the team. He probably will.

That spot should go to a young player with promise. I don't know who that player is, or if he's even on the roster. Hence the reason i think Avant makes the team.

I don't know, but that's atleast a possibility... I do know that Reid put him on the FAST track to playing time once he arrived, and he had a few nice moments while he was at it. We could do a helluva lot worse than this guy at #5, I seriously don't get the vibe surrounding this subject. |

Some people think he's a productive player (when there's no evidence of that) and some don't. It's that simple.

Yes, because wasting time on a player who adds nothing to your team is always a good move.
Your 5th receiver on a run heavy team....He's going to see the bench more often than not. Might as well go to a guy who stands to get better, not one who stands to get slower.

He will rotate in as the #2/3/4.. at least, at first. I can certainly get the concept of going with youth and potential, but sometimes, old steady and reliable is the way to go.. at least for a while. I really wouldn't concern yourself much with this. Maclin and Kelce will be the top receiving threats. Then, there is always JC as heavy contributor in short pass and screen game... then there are a slew of rotating WR 2/3/4 and TE 2/3 that will assist. Avant is not an exciting guy, but if he can make a few clutch plays to move the chains... all the while helping to refine the younger receivers.. we're good. There are still plenty of young receivers with potential that will see the field in 2015, and an increase in production after Avant is gone in 2016.

It doesn't matter who the receivers are guiz, with Alex's mid tier O-line, he can throw to anyone now and all passes will be caught with Ginsu-sharp accuracy!
