Hill vs Austin

[Palangi 788]

Look how close Calvin Hill compares to Tyreek. Eerily similar is speed and elite agility. Close in size, although hill has 15 pounds on him. Austin has .10 advantage in the 10 yard split off the 40 though.

While I like Austin and the athletic freak that he is and would use a 3 for him, he really has to bulk up to take the punishment that Tyreek did.

HIll was originally a RB and could take a hit.  Not sure Austin can at the NFL level.  Would be a nice addition for certain plays, but he's not the #1 receiver that Hill was.  If the Chiefs got Pickens or some other big guy, Austin might have a role among the second level options for Mahomes.

I agree about the bulk. I was surprised how close athletically he was. 
 

one interesting note is Austin was used on the outside a majority of his reps and not a slot in college. 
 

replacing Hardman as a punt returner as Hardman will take on more receiving responsibility could be useful too.

I'm not sold on Pickens either. I like his as a talent.  HIs health seems to be an issue a lot of the time.

Yeah, he's a risk but the Chiefs will have to fill several WR slots over the next two years and Pickens is high risk, high reward and could be one of two drafted this year.

He is the guy I hope we take later in the draft.  Sauce Gardner said he was the toughest to guard in college.  Dude is electric or sure.
