What exactly does weapons mean? I hope runningback. We have our entire WR core locked up for next year, so any WR we draft would likely be no better than #4 or #5 on the depth chart. Not exactly a pressing need at the moment considering our other needs.

We’re also going to be down at least two WRs next year. Draft one now and let him learn the system during a shortened year.

Well, a Cam Akers in the third or a McFarland in the 4th would be nice pieces. bolstering the offensive line is a necessity. And a Lynn Bowden in the the fourth would be a fun swiss army knife for Reid to play with; a former #1 WR who played QB last season for Kentucky due to injury issues at the position and actually did well as a dual threat QB. WR screens that are actually laterals and then bombs downfield, that could be a lot of fun. |

This a million times.
I don't care how many weapons Mahomes has around him IF you can't keep him upright it doesn't matter. Mahomes makes everyone better around him and if it means taking slightly less talent at WR and RB in order to keep a steely wall in front of him I'm all for it.

The only way to truly prevent QB hits is to get the ball out of his hands. Having weapons at TE, slot WR, and RB accomplish that. |

Personally, I think round 3 is the sweet spot for a guard or center... that’s all I ask If Veach wants to go offense in round one with someone like Brandon Aiyuk, to prepare for Watkins inevitable departure next season... I’d be all about it, but one lineman in the top 3 surely isn’t asking too much |

A drafted WR is only #4 or 5 until someone gets hurt. All of a sudden that player becomes a guy getting a lot of snaps. This is a team that routinely uses 3 WR or more sets. This offense essentially has 3 STARTING WR's. So your #4 guy is just an injury away from being a starter. And since this offense is, scratch that, TEAM, is centered around Pat Mahomes and our passing game, it's crucial that the unit stays strong even through injuries. You simply CANNOT go wrong drafting WR's for Mahomes no matter how many good ones you think you've got. |

I'm fine with WR..but it depends who is there. Assuming Jeudy, Lamb, and Ruggs are gone then you have Jefferson Shenault Hamler Aiyuk Pittman And those wr's are all close. Do you take the 1st in the bunch when similar talents go well into the 2nd? Last edited by MahomesMagic; 04-06-2020 at 06:56 PM.. |

This is the deepest WR class in history. I’d draft one in the second or third round
