MVS outplayed Diggs in our Divisional Game, so that’s how I’m going to choose to think of him if we sign him.

That guy was dropping passes all year, even had a reporter asking him “whats wrong?” In the playoffs he made some tough catches. The WR needy Chiefs moved on, I don’t think we should pursue him.

Expand  

Yeah, haven't we had enough dropped passes from wide receivers last season?

[JoshAllin]

Need some backups

He was the Chiefs starter outside for most of his time there. They replaced him with Hollywood Brown. That’s a significant upgrade.

 

He’d be coming here as a depth player and insurance for our young WRs. There’s a big difference.

 

And he made plays for the Chiefs to win in the playoffs. Let’s say he replaces Trent Sherfield. Is that not an upgrade?

He does have a knack for making incredibly awkward looking but effective plays in the clutch.  I’ll give him that much.  He’s a very poor man’s Gabe Davis.

The Chiefs acquired two speedy WR’s to replace him. We acquired Keon Coleman.

Expand  

He was too expensive for what he brought to their offense consistently. I think he’d be a good addition here if the price is right.

50.3% career catch%.  LOL  50.0% this past season.  

 

Funny, we boot Davis and some want an even worse WR re: drops and catch% and with no particularly consistent skillset.  

 

 

[DC Greg]

Sure why not

And he leads the league in depth of target. Davis was also near the top. More difficult targets.

Compare the contracts.  

[WyoAZBillfan]

What was his gantlet time?

 Did he have his appendectomy yet?

 Can he play LB?

I realise that we don't have much salary cap space but a Chiefs hand-me-down? No thanks.

Expand  

Well we already got a hand me down from them in Edwards so what’s another.

Catching the damn ball is all that matters. Who cares how far downfield he gets if he's only going to drop it.    

 

Hard pass

Expand  

He doesn’t drop all of them.  He came up big for them en route to the Sb

[Dr. Who]

Maybe Beane ends up looking like a genius, but I just hate the way they've handled the WR position.

I have noticed that about him. Hardly any clean catches even with well thrown balls. Like he has a hard time tracking it down. Can’t argue about his playoffs production though. Without him you guys wouldn’t have beaten Cincy in 2022. 

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Probably why Beane wants him. Playoffs.

I wouldn’t say he’s “better” than Cephus or Hamler. Cephus has more dependable hands but is not a vertical threat. Hamler is a big time vertical threat but is never healthy. At least MVS has had moments as a proven vertical threat. I’d be fine with him for a 1 year cheap prove it deal to compete with all the other never fighting for spots 4-6 on the WR depth chart 

Expand  

Cephus's career best single season yardage is 349.

KJ Hamler's is 381.

MVS's is 687.

MVS has posted 3,155 yards and 16 TDs in his career.

Cephus and Hamler COMBINED have posted 1,188 yards and 7 TDs in their careers.

So if we're talking production over potential, then yes, I'd say MVS is better than Cephus and Hamler. If you want to argue that those two guys have untapped potential, I won't argue with you, but based on their careers to date, MVS has absolutely been the superior player.

Jeebus. You’re right. And that’s a rough realization to come to terms with. Shakir, Samuel, Coleman and the likes of MVS, Hollins, etc. Ouch. MVS could legit be WR3 if Coleman isn’t ready.

Expand  

or I keep saying - heaven forbid Samuel rolls an ankle in a preseason game and misses September? Week 1 could get real thin real fast if Coleman is even slightly a project and either Shakir or Samuel miss any early reps
