I can’t see Conley really ever playing in the slot personally. He just doesn’t fit that role at all, and so if he is your #3 WR, you’re forced to put Hill or Watkins in there most of the time.
I want those two split out wide on opposite sides of the field. |

Why? In a base two WR set....sure they can play outside. But when we go to 3 WRs...why wouldn't you want Watkins and Conley outside with Hill in the slot? No slot CB is going to cover Hill and you're going to find more mismatches for him that way.

Based on everything about him. He's a solid blocker in the running game, he's a smart guy but his routes aren't precise, and he doesn't make the contested catch at the NFL level...

Did you quote the wrong post? I didn't say anything about Conley in the slot.

I’m not saying he can’t play the slot sometimes, but no alignment can put more stress on defenses vertically than Watkins and Tyreek each on the outside of the numbers on each sideline. We need to take advantage of that.

I actually really like wright. I think he would be great in the wilson role of outlet and short route receiver.

If we incorporate more air raid concepts, we'll see a lot more shallow crossers and mesh routes, lots of good opportunity for sweep options, and when going vertical it's not bad to have a guy who can sprint into a route out of the backfield in ways hunt can't. Wright would be a fun gadget for a lot of these things.

I don't think he's slow. I think he's a quick twitch guy. A nice option to have for underneath routes. He was a pretty productive receiver in the slot for some mediocre qb play. I think he just needs a real qb.

Are they planning on restructuring a deal? Because we're going to be getting pretty tight on money unless Veach is going to dump a bunch of picks to move up and get an instant starter.

They're really going all in on Mahomes. Adding Wright to the mix only increases this offenses' flexibility and insures some depth.
If you look at our last two playoff losses, the Chiefs ran out of receivers. Last year the O was rolling until Kelce went down. The loss of Kelce and Conley proved too much.

Assuming they keep 6 WRs (and they sign Wright).....does that make the WR group:
Watkins Hill Wright Conley Robinson Chesson Or does Conley start the year on PUP? Or do they try and trade Conley or Robinson? |

Just me. Conley has proven a solid blocker and "team player."
