ESPN's 2-RD Chiefs Mock Draft:
30. Kansas City Chiefs
Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama Prior to tearing an ACL in the national title game, Williams had a strong case for being the first wide receiver off the board. I still expect him to go in the top 35 picks, but teams will have to think beyond the 2022 season, because he might have to miss some time as a rookie. He could land in the perfect spot in Kansas City, joining an explosive offense that has been in search of adding a deep threat alongside Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Mecole Hardman. Williams would give the Chiefs a strength on a strength, adding another target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Biggest needs: WR, EDGE, DB 62. Kansas City Chiefs Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State Emerson could get more buzz over the next two months, as he is a strong and physical corner who quietly had a productive season for the Bulldogs, even if he didn't have any interceptions. He could be a popular choice for teams that run lots of zone scheme concepts. Biggest needs: WR, EDGE, DB |

They likely won't get Williams without trading up, but it's an interesting thought.
I think EDGE is a bigger need than WR. |

This offense doesn’t need another deep threat. It needs a WR to get open in single coverage when they’re taking away Hill and Kelce. And it needs one now….not later in the year when they’re finally healthy.
This is lazy ****ing writing. |

How is it lazy? Hardman is probably gone after next so we have room for another speedster and Williams is a good route runner. Bama does a good job of developing their wrs. Plus the way defenses are playing us with 2 deep safeties. we run lots of crossing routes where speed is a huge advantage. Bring a FA in that already knows the system and can contribute immediately and is cheap, like Sammy Watkins who made $5M last year and will make less this year on a one year deal. 3 years of reps with mahomes helps. I don’t see this as lazy at all.

John Metchie is a better fit for KC than Williams. I think that probably makes more sense for KC if they're targeting one of the Bama WRs.
He doesn't have QUITE as much crazy speed, but he's on track to be back to football activities by August/September (clean ACL tear, he's already 2 months out), and he's a more polished/rounded receiver than Williams.

They've shown a clear willingness to draft less valuable positions in round 2 and not get immediate returns from them. ACL injuries usually are not a big deal and it sounds like Metchie's falls in the "clean" territory. Not really a predictor of future problems. He doesn't have other injury concerns that I recall.

I’m down with that. Dreams of Jermaine Johnson in R1 and Metchie in R2 run thru my head.
