Aside from the very rare 5-10 yard hitch or out, MVS did absolutely nothing but receive deep targets. He had to be really good at hauling those in or he was totally useless; see 2023 reg. season.
That isn't HB. He can run routes too. |

They signed Valdes-Scantling to have deep speed on the field that forced teams to keep the safeties high so Kelce and Smith-Schuster could feast underneath and break off huge YAC. It worked like a charm in 2022. It didn’t last year because Valdes-Scantling took a step back and teams stopped keeping both safeties high. That’s why I’ve been pro-Brown. Yeah, on 90-100 targets he’s probably more like a 750 yard receiver. But that’s valuable if you put teams back into two high safety as the only logical standard approach to KC/Mahomes because it’s going to make Kelce and Rice even more effective. And we all keep asking for the ability to put less on Kelce as he ages. You can find 100 targets for Brown pretty easily, and he’s going to do more with them than Valdes-Scantling, Moore, and Toney did, which makes it easier to sit Kelce more. Raw numbers like targets, receptions, yards, and TDS just don’t tell the full story here, as DJ already exhibited beautifully. And continuing to stubbornly post them is t going to convince anyone you’re right. |

The problem with the "MVS role" is that in 2023 he sucked at it so it simply became nothing. The risk is that if you were to fill that role with, say, Hardman - you have a real risk of it falling into nothingness again and we have the same shitshow we dealt with over the middle 2/3 of the season last year. You're paying Brown (if you're paying Brown) for risk mitigation and little else. Yes, it's possible that Hardman COULD ascend into that role and do it well for less money. Or that a 2nd or 3rd round pick could. Or that Wanya Morris could become a viable starting LT. But that doesn't mean you don't go ahead and put a few bucks on the table here and there if/when you have a chance to mitigate the risk that those guys DON'T manage that trick. |

Timeout. Someone tell me if Hollywood Brown catches the ball when it hits him in the hands or not. If he does, he's an upgrade over 3 of our receivers from last year, period.

"Not Rickey but" A joke because everybody on NFL Twitter knows this guy has been nailing shit. Literally all I'm trying to say. Again, he could absolutely be wrong here, but you can't tell me he's been wrong yet. |

It's better than nothing, but Samuel doesn't really move me. Would we squeeze some production out of him? Yeah, I think. But does it clarify needs in the draft at all? I don't really think so.
He's a #3. HB is a #2 in the right offense, I believe. |

I enjoyed it. Just made me like him even more. Kind of supports what I said a few days ago as well when I mentioned I wanted him. He gets open, the QBs see it, he earns a target, but they just aren’t good enough to get him the ball. Hence the reason he gets a lot of targets but a bit less production than you’d like to this point. Mahomes will fix that. |

I think we're also nearing the "Kelce and whoever they bring in are options 2/2b" landscape.
I wouldn't go in to much relying on Kelce as much as they have. |
