LOL
Apparently I'm the thread killer. I'm just going to not talk about anything WR related on the board anymore. |

I'm right there with you on growing our own. I don't know if you watched the two highlights I posted, but Coleman and Franklin make some serious contested catches. I'm guessing they aren't always covered, but our offense seems to require guys who can make contested catches. Those two guys seem to be able to do just that. And have some wheels to go with that skill.

Look for guys that separate, not contested catch guys
They’ve whiffed at wr with Toney and moore so they’re gonna have to go pay for some talent |

But I haven't gotten into much college ball this year, or seen mocks to guesstimate when guys might go. I have seen a lot of chatter that this is a really good draft for WR's, QB's, and OT's, though. We need two of the three. Last edited by Chris Meck; 11-13-2023 at 06:52 AM.. |

They'll tag and trade Jones.
I don't know that going and paying a FA WR makes sense, the ones that are gonna hit the market are older. I'd guess they go draft one high or trade a pick and pay one. |

Marquise Brown or Darnell Mooney would probably be a little lower on salary (maybe not by much) and would probably fit what they're looking for in KC. Yes, they need to develop their own, but I don't think you can just throw a draft pick at it and pray for the best again. We already know that a draft pick is probably going to take half the season to get acclimated (or more), do we really want to go into week 1 2024 with a nearly identical group to what KC has now? I think the best course of action is to spend a 1st/2nd on WR and then grab a halfway decent one in FA (Mooney, Brown, or maybe Ridley). Add those to Rice and Kelce and I think you already have made a significant improvement on the 2023 group. If either Toney or Moore finally amounts to anything at all then it's just icing on the cake, but I wouldn't count on it with either. MVS will be gone next year and Watson will likely still be around because of his salary, but if we start 2024 with Justin Watson getting starting reps again then something went terribly wrong. |

They need the cheap labor from draft picks to work out. So yeah, keep drafting them. I'd love to trade our first and a pick next year to the 9ers for Aiyuk or make a big swing. But I'm guessing they continue to build this way as the QB continues to get expensive. |

I can see Darnell Mooney going for maybe $17 million a year tops. If we can pay $12 million a year to MVS they can probably manage to pay a little more for a better player. Depending on how the rest of the year goes I just don't see how KC, and Mahomes in particular, are happy going into 2024 with mostly the same group. If Moore or Toney somehow steps up a bit in the 2nd half of the year then maybe they don't have to have a wholesale overhaul, but if we continue to see Rice as the only consistent option at WR it's putting a lot of eggs in one (rookie) basket to hope that we get another hit at WR where our track record has been extremely bad at finding talent in the draft. |

They've gotta draft their stars. Point blank. It's too expensive to go elsewhere to do it at this point. |

If the Chargers cut Keenan Allen, I'd sign him in a heartbeat though.

That's what happens when you draft well and develop guys.
Gonna have to keep doing it. |
