Chiefs Do we still need a slot WR? - Page 3

JakeF · 03-20-2018, 05:46 PM

Our main focus should be adding talent on the Dline before anything else(including passrusher at RDE)

Watkins in the slot? I would hope he would be our best route runner right now and he has the size to handle the inside game.

If ONE of our WRs after Watkins and Hill can't learn to play the slot, then we're in trouble. Plenty of capable bodies for the 3 and 4 WR role.

I still hope that Robinson will develop and push Conley for snaps.

Me as well! They both bring something different however, and we may not need Robinson's deep balls with Watkins and Hill out there. A big, tall WR similar to Kelce would be another route to go.

When listing all of the needs across this defense, it becomes pretty clear that a slot receiver is the very last thing on Brett Veach' mind... be it Reek, Kelce, or Chesson, we have multiple options for that spot

Other than LG, this offense is as loaded as it can get for 2018... this draft will be defense, Defense, DEFENSE

Hell just rotate Kelce, Hill and Watkins out of the slot on every down. It will be a goddamn struggle for any team to cover that.

Also we did sign Daniel Braverman to a futures contract. He’s a nice quick white dude like Julian Edelman.

But the problem is Conley/Robinson/Chesson are mainly outside WR's and are not built like the typical, small, fast slot Wr's you see these days. So why not just get a kid who fits the mold and has played that position regularly?

Watkins should be great in the slot with Hill and Conley/Robinson on the outside. I still don't know what is going to happen with Chesson but he is strictly an outside guy in my opinion.

I’d definitely take Coutee if available later.

If Anthony Miller falls to us in the second round it is going to be really really hard to pass on him.

He could be an amazing slot receiver and had 18 freaking touchdowns at Memphis last year.

That talent AND under a rookie deal.

Yes.

Cut DAT on June 1 for his roster spot.

The Chiefs just gave him a $90k signing bonus and he's unable to work out at this point.

I'll be surprised if he's even active before Week 10.

That leg injury was gruesome.

JakeF · 03-20-2018, 06:30 PM

I guess i'm the only one who really doesn't want Hill on inside unless he's in motion. Keep Hill on the outside and use the bigger guys inside where they can block or go out.

I agree, having Reek on the inside undermines how dangerous this offense can really be imo because him and Sam on the outside will create major issues for the opposition because they will have to use their safeties to cover them and covering both will be very difficult.

Chesson played some of his best football at Michigan from the slot or running slot-style routes. He's very quick (6.70 3-cone) and very hard to cover on quick outs/ins, shallow crosses, slants, hitches, etc. I wouldn't rule him out.
