Before you mention Watkins, he was the 3rd receiving option and his highest yardage total was 673 yards in 2019, 29% of which came in one game vs Jacksonville (198 yards). Hill and Kelce were drafted by Dorsey. Rice was based off input from Mahomes, and isn’t a necessarily a sure thing himself.
This cannot be overstated: the WR room is a roster failure on Veach’s part. There is no way around it.
We’ve been fine until now when we tried to field a crew of nobody’s. Just a group of guys nobody elite or even close. They definitely took advantage of Patrick’s ability and just assumed he would be able to throw to anybody with arms. I’m pretty confident they’re gonna have a new group next year and this will not be a problem. These guys have the ability but I don’t know it almost seems mental. They just need experience. I’m willing to bet they pick up 1 if not 2 WRs early in the draft. I mean, I can’t think of a receiver we’ve drafted since tyreek that’s really made any kind of an impression. They rebuilt everything else, now they can build a top 5 WR room.
