KC Chiefs 2015 NFL Draft Wish List: Wide Receivers

Nelson Agholor will likely still be available in the second round, but I don’t know if I’d want to take the risk of passing him up in round one. Agholor could be the real deal for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Agholor is the type of wide receiver who can help out quarterbacks who tend to scramble a lot. Alex Smith scrambled plenty in 2014, but mainly due to his weak offensive line. It’d be nice to know if Smith runs into trouble in 2015 that Agholor could get open and help his quarterback out.
Agholor finished his three-year career with the Trojans with 178 receptions for 2,572 yards and 20 touchdowns. This kid could easily step in and take that second wide receiver spot from the current guys on the roster.
"Intelligent, instinctive receiver with an advanced feel for getting himself open against zone coverage and off man. Play speed doesn’t match timed speed. Needs to force cornerbacks to respect him over the top.. Agholor’s best position could be working from the slot as a reliable possession receiver who can step right into the punt-returner job on Day 1. – NFL.com"
More than likely, Nelson Agholor will fall to the second round and another team will grab him, but still. I wouldn’t be angry at all if the Chiefs took him 18th overall.
