Why would anyone want a 31 year old WR who hasn’t played a down of football in 2 years and was JAG when he was in his prime?

LOL, maybe if you add a first and a third to that offer. He’s a #1 WR with three years of control. That’s the hottest commodity in the league short of a franchise QB.

1862 yards and 14 TDs isn’t elite?

You’re correct that Mahomes has more to work with than Allen this year. Vegas has the O/U for Mahomes set at 4350 yards and 33 TDs. They have Josh at 3750 and 27.

This is as much of a “must win” game as any team can have week 1. Given the difficulty of the early schedule, 3-3 wouldn’t be a bad start. If they lay an egg like last year, they’re 0-1 and underdogs in 4 of the next 5 games.

2 players who have put up 1400 yards in a season, another who has put up 1000, another who has put up 900, and a first round draft pick in this year’s draft. Kelce is the only star, but that’s got the potential to be a pretty good group.

I’ve got Allen as the clear second best QB in the league, but I don’t see how even the biggest Allen homer can believe that the Chiefs would have 3 Super Bowl wins with Allen. Josh threw for 3100 yards and 20 TDs in 2019 and played poorly against the Texans in the playoffs. There’s zero chance that Kansas City wins that year with Josh. Reasonable people can agree or disagree about the last two years, but Mahomes was better in 2019 by orders of magnitude.

They can afford both.

Coming into this year’s draft, the top needs were WR and then DE. Coming out of the draft, it was DE and then WR. Those almost have to be the top two picks next year. After that, it could be just about anything. CB seems the most likely, as Douglas will be 31 when the 2025 season starts.

It’s amazing that so many people have figured out that the league is rigged yet Vegas is still thriving. I have to assume that you mortgaged your house after the Chiefs got beat by Las Vegas last year and fell to 9-6 so that you could earn a 1500% return on your money. How do the casinos stay in business?

It’s the same reason that the refs decided to flag Toney for lining up Offside but didn’t flag Allen for throwing an illegal forward pass on third and 17 in the playoffs. (I don’t know what that reason is, but I do know it’s all part of the same massive conspiracy.)

Those Vegas oddsmakers are a buncha dummies, amirite?

Dotson has played in 25 straight games. Hamler has played in 23 games total in his 4 year career. Dotson has 11 TDs in his 2 year career. Hamler has 3 in his 4 year career. They aren’t similar in any meaningful way other than both being WRs from Penn State. Who?

Wow, I just realized that Ray Davis is 3 months older than Shakir. He’ll be 25 before the bye week.

Let’s say that Shakir gets twice as many targets and manages to gain twice as many yards and quadruple his touchdowns. That puts him at what Diggs produced last year. Let’s also say that Kincaid gets 20% more targets and increases his yardage by 20% while tripling his touchdowns. That puts him at what Davis produced last year. Now let’s say that there’s still enough targets for Samuel to maintain his production from last year. That puts him at what Shakir produced last year. That leaves Kincaid’s production from last year to be replaced by Coleman just to get back to even. That’s the roadmap. It’s possible, but it’s going to require everything to go perfectly including the backs to still contribute 650+ yards receiving.

Well Rashee Rice had 900 yards and 7 TDs last season and then went on to set the record for postseason receptions by a rookie. Shakir and Samuel combined had 1200 yards and 6 TDs. Worthy was the 5th WR taken while Coleman was the 8th. Brown’s put up more career catches, yards, and TDs in his 5 year career than Samuel has in his 7 year career. It’s also worth mentioning that Rice, Brown, and Worthy are all different types of WRs whose styles complement one another while Shakir, Samuel, and Coleman are all primarily slot players. The Chiefs’ trio isn’t elite, but they’re average to above average. Vegas has the O/U on passing yards for Mahomes set at 4250 with 32.5 TDs. Josh’s is 3800 and 27. Some of that’s Travis Kelce, but Buffalo throws to their RBs more. If you’re so sure I’m wrong, Vegas is ripe for the picking.

It wasn’t a bad throw. It looked like a bad throw because Coleman pulled up a bit. Now whether he was justified in doing so because it was preseason is a different story, but that’s a ball that needs to be caught when it counts. Coleman was drafted to provide a target with a large catch radius and the strength to win through contact. This is precisely the type of play that encapsulates both. If you’re not a speed guy and you’re not a separation guy, then you’d better use your size and strength to make that catch.

Yes by a significant margin. To address the OP, Treylon Burks, Jahan Dotson, Terrace Marshall, and Laviska Shenault are all potential reclamation projects that could likely be had for a reasonable price.

Rodgers was 28 when he won the Super Bowl.

You can massage the stats any number of ways, but the reality is that he’s a pretty good back who got a lot of yards between the 20s. He also had more fumbles and fewer TDs than any other player who was in the top 20 of yards per scrimmage. None of that really matters though. The biggest reason he was so high on the list for RBs is that very few teams give their backs that many touches anymore. 20 years ago, he’d have been middle of the pack amongst RBs with that yardage total. That he was as high on the list last year is as much a feature of his touches relative to the rest of the league as anything else. He’s got one year left before he’s going to want an extension. If there was a team desperate enough to offer a day 2 pick for him, you take it and run. There were no RBs taken in the first round of this year’s draft and only 4 taken on day 2. Cook’s good, but he’s not elite. Good RBs are easily replaceable.

Courtland Sutton is a bottom end #1 WR at best. The rest are all practice squad quality. Mims is a really good return guy, but he’s not a WR.

The Broncos might have worse WRs than the Bills.

Nobody was going to give up a pick high enough for the Bills to land one of the big 3. If someone picked 28th or later winds up being a stud, that’s when there will be some noise.

Doesn’t count because preseason. Detroit was vanilla on special teams.
