But look at guys like Marquis Lee, Sammy Watkins, Jordan Matthews, Kelvin Benjamin, Cody Lattimer, Kevin White, Nelson Agholor, Breshad Perriman, Phillip Dorsett, DeVante Parker, Devin Smith, Dorial Green-Beckham, Devin Funchess, Jalen Strong, Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Josh Docston, Laquon Treadwell, Braxton Miller and Leonte Caroo.

These guys were all 1st and 2nd rounders, going back to 2014, that have failed to live up to expectations.

I kind of prefer the Chiefs method of drafting rawer guys like Conley and coaching them up, as opposed to wasting a high draft pick on a receiver that fails to put up numbers even equal to Conley's second season.
Drafting is essentially more about fit of the player in the system they're drafted too. So many draft "busts" just go into systems they don't necessarily fit into or to guys that aren't great at tailoring an offense to a guy.

Andy is great schematically for offensive skill guys in getting them open. In situations like Kelce where you get an super talent in that scheme he can take off. That's why I'd like to see them put a legit talent across from tyreek if the Conley thing doesn't work out.
