oldtimer 8,686 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Of any Wr's I have paid attention to it has been him. I think he'd be a good pick..not too high & certainly not our first . I'm not real sure about a 2nd either. He runs good routs and is sure handed but I dont think he is a YAC guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azchief21 5,278 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 How could any WR want to settle for 500 yds receiving and 0 TDs for a season? His second contract would be a disaster based on productivity catching 5 yd slants and bubble screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Chiefs currently have a receiver on their roster that runs good routes and is sure-handed? That combination is better than stone handed and YAC-capable.

kccrow 529 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Do the Chiefs currently have a receiver on their roster that runs good routes and is sure-handed? That combination is better than stone handed and YAC-capable. Agree with this... I posted on this type of issue over at the Planet, comparing what Green Bay has at WR. Now, I do know they have Aaron Rodgers, but that doesn't mean the receivers suck. In fact, they all run good routes and they are all sure handed. I was tooling around on the interwebs... so I decided to take a look at the Packers' receiving corps because of their obvious success running the West Coast offense. What did I find? I'll start with what you might not expect. For starters, not a single receiver was drafted in the first round of the draft, with the highest selection being #36. Secondly, lack of top-end speed, which inexplicably seems to be high on everyone's wish list. In fact, only 2 of their receivers run faster than 4.5, one at 4.46 and one at 4.42. Only one of those 2 received a significant number of snaps, the one that ran 4.46. A third thing is that there is a wide range of verticals, but only half boast a vertical leap over 34 inches, with only 1 of them seeing significant snaps. What we should expect is another story, and perhaps should shed some light on what is important in running an effective WCO. All of the receivers had a 3-cone of 7.12 seconds or less. Most are in the 6'1" to 6'3" range. In fact, only 1 is under 6'1" at 5'10" although that player was second on the team in receptions. What may be most important is that all showed in college they were comfortable catching balls in traffic and continue to do so in the pros except for 1, who didn't catch balls in college. Another is that no receiver is under 190 pounds, which helps with durability. Now, I know this isn't the end-all-be-all to the receiver position, but the story is telling. So if a WCO has proven to be successful with players you expect to see in a WCO, why doesn't Reid tend to get these types? I have relayed in the past that Reid has never been a guy to carry too many big receivers, instead relying mostly on receivers with some speed to them that are 6'0" to 6'1". Reid has taken his share of receivers that run close to 4.40 or even lower. Why no love for the quick, but not so fast, bigger receivers that catch the ball in traffic extremely well? I don't get it with Reid, he's difficult to put a finger on. The receiver that seems to fit Reid to a T is Ohio State's Devin Smith. 6'0" with speed to burn (he'll likely run in the 4.3s). While we are all salivating over guys like Kevin White and DeVante Parker, Reid goes against the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
