Dorsey said the other day he attended two of Mahomes games. Now who knows if he attended Trubiskys

And no, the Chiefs didn't want Trubisky.
Mahomes was their guy since last Fall. |

If you have two big, strong WRs on the outside, they draw a lot of safety attention because if they're matched up 1 on 1, you can just attack the corner and let the bigger WR muscle his way to the ball. Guys like Conley (and guys with Chesson's skills set) are 'point of catch' players; guys that will win in tight spaces to get most of their production. What that does is create space over the middle and underneath for quick twitch players like Hill or just straight up matchup nightmares like Kelce. If Conley takes another step in his development (he needs to; still hasn't shown the quick twitch ability or route-running skills to win early in his routes, a vital component to this offense if he ever becomes the Z receiver), you'll simply see Chesson play the X alongside him and you'll see fewer 2 TE sets because they'll convert to a more single-back, 1 TE, 1 Y look. And if Conley's never anything more than he is now, you probably don't want to give him that 2nd contract for $4-5 million/yr because he can't be a #1 and 2s are easier to find for cheap. Chesson could be that guy. It's not the pick I'd have made, but you can see the philosophy behind it.

But Chesson is a "stronger" player. He really muscles himself into position and gets after balls. Conley's more finesse. Chesson's also a better downfield blocker. He's a "tough guy", especially after playing under Harbaugh. IMO, Chesson comes into the league more prepared and mature to fit Reid's vision of a wideout than Conley, whose development can be seen, but has been very slow. Best case scenario? Conley makes another jump and Chesson puts up similar, if not better, numbers than Conley in 2016. That puts the Chiefs in position to dump Maclin's bloated contract in 2018. The Chiefs can save $17.4 million against the 2018 cap by releasing Maclin, DJ, Hali and Jah Reid, so if Mahomes isn't up to speed and ready to start in 2018 (which I think is unlikely), keeping Alex Smith for that season won't hinder their ability to rollover cap dollars into 2019 or bring in a mid-tier free agent or two. |

A tall high point WR with long arms and good hands makes perfect sense with Mahomes, however I think that just having this kid on the roster helps a lot. They said he's mature, smart, has experience in a pro style system and a great blocker. I'all take Chesson over DAT and Wilson all day. He's great depth over what we had. |

Now I'm worried Dat won't make the roster. Any chance Chesson has the ability to high five Hill going in.

What has DAT done that makes you feel as if he's worthy of a roster spot? even Albert Wilson is better than DAT. If I had to guess now, before training camp etc, I'd say the WR depth chart would be: Maclin X (He needs to take a pay cut or be released in 2018, because he's turning into a overpaid unproductive pos) Conley Y Hill Z Chesson Wilson Robinson
