Poll: What should/will Veach do with the WR group?

[Dante84]

[Poll coming soon]

Right now we have MVS, Toney, Moore and... camp fodder. So what happens this offseason?

[TEX]

I like for the Chiefs to sign DJ Chark and bring back Hardman.

Tyreek was the only rookie WR to have a significant impact in an Andy Reid offense and he was more of a gadget player than a traditional WR.

Which is why we probably could use another vet IMO

Would really love to see the Hopkins trade happen.

It's not uncommon for rookie WR to come out of the gate below average so I'm not giving up on Skyy just yet but there's definitely going to need to be some talent brought in to up the ante.

If the Veach could bring back Hardman and get Jarvis Landry I'd call that a win.

Coming from my years as an NFL GM of course.

I've been wanting him since last offseason but he's also got a bit of Sammy Watkins syndrome as well. Intriguing talent but injury prone.

****ing christ.

Roster wise, the team is set up well for a special talent, rental vet.

Cap wise, i have no idea.

If you go short term rental vet, it'd also be an opportune time to draft a true perimeter WR.

So basically, what Staylor said.

I'm going to go out on this huge limb and say it's a combination of the last two options. They'll sign a cheap vet to cover their bases and they'll draft a dude. That draft a dude might be quite high if they feel good about everything else but depth on the roster.

This isn't the stupidest thing you've ever said.

Gimme CHARK THE SHARK!!!

I'm thinking the draft at this point.

D-Hop would be nice if he wants a team friendly deal for a chance at a ring, but seems unlikely.
at OBJ
Hardman and Theilen both seem unlikely
Unnamed FA is tempting, just because Veach seems to go this route, but who knows

My only concern is that might make our draft selections too predictable for Veach's liking. Example:

In that scenario, we *should* use #31(and potentially another to move up) to get the WR like JSN.

Then that means we *should* use our 2nd to get a starting-caliber RT, and maybe move up to do so again.

Then that means we *should* go get an Edge or IDL, with the next pick being the other position not chosen.


I don't think Veach likes to go in to the draft with such glaring holes in such a predictable sequence. Of course that's me just hand-wringing.

We have $16 million in cap space. Need $17 million to trade for Hopkins.

Not sure this is what Mahomes restructure was for

Let's say you grab Nelson Agholor or Adam Thielen for 7m this year, I don't think that telegraphs much.

Grab a solid reserve OT like Josh Wells for a vet min deal or so that can respectably compete for either spot as a starter and be a quality swing reserve at minimum. Pick up a DT like maybe Watts on a vet min deal.

I think that puts you in a pretty solid area heading to the draft with no major holes.
