Let's talk WRs

[O.city]

The chiefs I'll have the first 3 rounds to come away with a wr.

@TerezPaylor: It’s looking like there’s no reason the #Chiefs shouldn’t come away with a good WR in the 1st three rounds of the draft.

They damn well better grab two, and one of them should be our first round pick... because the more I think about it, the clearer it is that we arent getting any of the top tier free agents.

Dorsey simply isnt going to overpay for any of them, which is what he'd have to do to entice one to KC, unfortunately.

He overpaid Bowe, why not pay a FA WR that can produce? In the end there are so many WR options in FA and the draft this year I think we go OL in the first. Dorsey has a tradition of picking OL or OLB in the first and the OL draft and FA class just isn't near as deep as WR.

Figure that out from his 2 and only drafts ever? Good shit.

Dorsey is simply not going to drastically overpay for any of the very few top free agent receivers, and it is a very small pool of elite guys to choose from this year.

An even if he decided to overpay, that doesnt always mean anyone would want to come here... sure , top receivers want money like everyone else, but they also want accomplishments and recognition, and any receiver on the outside looking in surely see's KC as a place where receiving escalades and glory goes to die.

Auburn redshirt junior WR Sammie Coates has "[Terrell Owens'] body, [Odell Beckham Jr.'s] burst and [Darrius Heyward-Bey's] hands," writes NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah.
We couldn't agree more. Coates has the build of a No. 1 WR (6-foot-2, 201 pounds) and the speed of a No. 1 WR (4.36 40-yard dash), but he has failed to live up to scouts' expectations. Perhaps the biggest reason for that is Coates' consistent inability to produce as a No. 1 receiver at Auburn. The Tigers' offense completely stagnated this year when WR Duke Williams was hurt or suspended and Coates was forced into the featured-receiver role. When Coates could focus on running fly routes as the No. 2 receiver, he thrived. "Coates drops a ton of balls but just when you want to write him off, he makes a freaky play," Jeremiah wrote. Coates will declare for the draft and has accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Because of his measurables, Coates is a decent bet to get over-drafted. "Coates [will] make a circus catch in traffic and then completely fail to track the ball a few plays later," Jeremiah wrote.

I'll take Kevin White.

I'd rather have Washington State's Vince Mayle in the second or third than Kevin White in the first.

I think Mayle has been more impressive on a worse team in arguably a better conference (PAC12 vs. Big 12) in basically what is the same system (Mike Leach vs. Dana Holgorsen).

Very similar players in size, speed, etc.

As well, some late rounders that the Chiefs should be looking at:

DeAndre Smelter, Georgia Tech; 6'3", 225 lb. (bullshit - dude looks 240 if an ounce)
- Same program that produced Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas, Smelter is an absolute physical specimen. Only started playing college football in 2013 after coming to GT on a baseball scholarship. Was the leading receiver for the Yellow Jackets with 715 yards and 7 TD's. (And that's a metric shit ton for the run oriented offense that GT utilizes.) Dude tore his ACL in the last game of the season and should be FA level cheap. I'd easily spend a seventh rounder on this guy just to get him on the squad.



J.J. Worton, University of Central Florida; 6'2", 215 lb.
- The guy that made the one handed grab that made Blake Bortles famous. Has been incredibly consistent and productive over his entire college career. Great hands and good burst (was the Knights PR as well).



Matt Miller, Boise State; 6'3", 220 lb.
- Dude was absolutely destroying defenses in 2013 (1140 yards & 12 TDs) and was even better to start 2014, but got an ankle injury that put him out for the season. Is said to be working towards being full speed by the time the Combine rolls around.

The Chiefs will never do it, but they should draft DGB in the first followed by Rashad Greene in the second. Get rid of all the Alexcuses.

He'll have 2 excuses. 1) He needs to build up chemistry with his WRs, and 2) His receivers are rookies.

The Alexcuses never go away. It's why he is still a "relevant" QB in the public opinion.

Is Cobb in FA a realistic option or just a pipe dream?

Likely a pipe dream I'd think... They have 18 million in space right now but some big names on the list to fill... Here's how I see it:

Tramon Williams,CB UFA - Doubtful they'll re-sign
BJ Raji, 34DE UFA - Doubtful they'll re-sign
Bryan Bulaga, RT UFA - Will re-sign, probably cost 4 m per
Jarrett Bush, CB UFA - Unsure, maybe
John Kuhn, FB UFA - Will re-sign, probably cost 1 m per
Matt Flynn, QB UFA - Probably will re-sign
Letroy Guion, DT UFA - Will re-sign, probably cost 2 m per
Randall Cobb, WR UFA - Will re-sign - probably cost 6 m per
Scott Tolzien, QB UFA - Doubtful they'll re-sign
Davon House, CB UFA - Will re-sign - probably cost 4-5 m per
DuJuan Harris, RB ERFA - Likely tender
Chris Banjo, S ERFA - Likely tender
Sean Richardson, S RFA - Likely tender
Don Barclay, RT RFA - Likely tender
Jarrett Boykin, WR RFA - Likely tender
Jamari Lattimore, ILB UFA - Doubtful they'll re-sign

Going to say all re-signings will be average around 21 m per. I'm sure they can shave enough money on the top contracts to get that down a few million. If they win the dance, no way they keep Peppers and his 12 m contract next year. In fact, I can't seem them keeping him anyhow. They have him playing for just over 3 m this season, he's a rental.

Here's how I see the FA WR class of 2015:


Zero chance these guys are available.

Demarius Thomas
Dez Bryant

These guys are almost undoubtedly resigning with their current teams, but maybe one of them becomes available. Anyone of these guys would be great for us. Note:Everyone I've listed below would come cheaper than Bowe.

Jeremy Maclin
Randell Cobb
Eddie Royal
Torrey Smith

Harvin and Wallace are possible cuts, and Gordon might be available via trade. Anyone of these guys would be great, but all of them are possible cancers.

Mike Wallace
Percy Harvin
Josh Gordon

Older receivers, but one of the two might be available. Either would be an improvement.

Reggie Wayne
Hakeem Knicks

Some lesser receivers that are all still notable upgrades for our squad. Crabtree is simliar to Bowe in my mind, but much cheaper. Welker should retire before he's a vegetable. Shorts and kearse have been mentioned often as options. Kenny Britt, well I'm not a fan but others may feel he'd fit.

Michael Crabtree
Cecil Shorts
Jermaine Kearse
Wes Welker
Kenny Britt


If we drop Bowe we can pay 2 or 3 of these guys. At this point I see zero need to keep Bowe, we can spend that money elsewhere. Plenty of FA options and quality receivers in the draft. I think we need 3 new WR's and I don't feel that they'll be difficult to find, we may already have one of them in Rogers.

Maclin would be the best option. He knows the coach, offense, and is still fairly young...
