How about Chris Conley

[one eyed bird]

Big receiver with a large catch radius, very fast, and he was rated as the best blocking wr in the NFL, something he will have to do about 55% of the time here. Should be cheap. Behind a lot of offensive weapons in KC so numbers not great

[NjRavensFan]

I’d be fine with this. Seems like if he was ever gonna blossom it would’ve been in that KC offense but I’m down to take a shot
A. He’s got great traits even if he’s never played to them
B. More importantly, he’s not an “established veteran” so if he sucks the young guys might get a chance, as opposed to a guy like Jordy who Harbaugh would keep trotting out there week after week regardless of his performance

[Mmcclend]

Big fast and can block. I’d kick the tires and see what he’s talking about.

[Finisher]

Would rather have Dontrelle Inman.

[OhThePossibilities]

I'd definitely be on either Conley or Inman or Tavon or Jordan Matthews around May 7th.

[GOTA]

I also like Inman from that group. I thought he was solid once he went to the Colts last year

[NjRavensFan]

I'd definitely be on either Conley or Inman or Tavon or Jordan Matthews around May 7th.

Tavon and Matthews both signed today

[NjRavensFan]

Idk if we can wait til after the draft for Conley or Inman. Even the marginal guys are starting to go fast now.

Would rather have Dontrelle Inman.

I also like Inman from that group.

I have literally never heard of this cat. Which is surprising, because he had a very good season in '16.

Anyway: I'd be quite pleased if we signed both of them in the coming week. Bring 'em all in! We got nothing.

[The Excellector]

This is depressing.

[NjRavensFan]

This is depressing.

I mean if you were gonna be depressed if we didn’t sign a top tier WR you were just gonna be depressed. There was no one in the Watkins/Robinson/Landry time and only two clear starters.

Bring 'em all in! We got nothing.

Whoa. Anyone remember the season where the Chiefs did not complete a single TD pass to their WRs??

It was not that long ago. 2014, Andy Reid's second season in KC. Chiefs were coming off 11-5, with Alex Smith throwing to Dwayne Bowe, Donnie Avery and Dexter McCluster. They started out the next season ('14) 0-2, then righted the ship against the Dolphins and headed to New England. They fucking DESTROYED the Pats in Foxboro, 41-14. Smith was brilliant in that game, tossing TDs to Jamaal Charles (2) and Travis Kelce.

That game prompted a whole bunch of "Brady is done" talk. Naturally they went on to win the SB that year (Seahawks didn't give the ball to Beast Mode at the goal line).


Anyway: those Chiefs went on a 5-game win streak after their bye, and looked good at 7-3. Then they sputtered to the finish, including a 3-game losing streak in late Nov / early Dec, and ended at 9-7. Out of the playoffs. I don't know what happened; but my memory is pushing something about defensive injuries??

Smith threw only 18 TDs on the season, and none to WRs. Travis Kelce was the leading pass-catcher, with 860 yds and 5 TDs. Jamaal Charles chipped in another 5 TDs and ~300 yds receiving. Their WRs were – uh, not very productive:

• 30yo Dwayne Bowe: 750 yds
• Albert Wilson: 260 yds
• 30yo Donnie Avery: 175 yds
• De'Anthony Thomas: 150 yds

The following season they signed Jeremy Maclin and drafted Chris Conley; the next year Tyreek Hill.



That's eerie. I mean, the fact that there is a recent model for a team to be good, while having really shitty & unproductive WRs. An Andy Reid team, no less! It seems to me that our current WR corps is as good or better than that group.

Snead + Chris Moore + rookie 3rd-rd pick > 30yo Bowe + Albert Wilson + 30yo Donnie Avery

Esp if we add a Chris Conley or someone to the mix.


Am I crazy???
