Kansas City Chiefs might not need to draft wide receiver in 2018

For many years, one of the biggest complaints with the Kansas City Chiefs has been their lack of talented wide receivers. It looks like those days might finally be behind us, my friends.

In 2014, the Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers failed to score a touchdown all season long. That brought to light just how bad the corps had been for years, but the Chiefs actually have a pretty good group on the roster heading into 2018.

People wondered how Tyreek Hill would perform as the number one wideout, but he did his part beautifully. Hill captured 75 receptions for 1,183 yards and seven touchdowns in his first official year as the Chiefs starting wide receiver and he definitely didn’t disappoint.

While sometimes I wonder how long of a career Hill will have due to his size (5’10”, 185 pounds), he’s proving to be as good as advertised in his given role. The Chiefs won’t need a number one option to replace him, at least not next year.

The Chiefs will likely have Chris Conley in the second wide receiver spot. Conley hasn’t really done a whole lot in his now three seasons with the franchise, but his 2017 campaign was cut short due to a season ending injury in week five.

Conley has only racked up 904 yards and one touchdown in three seasons, but Patrick Mahomes could be the difference maker regarding Conley’s production. If Conley still fails to produce with a new quarterback, then that’ll answer that question.

After those two, the Chiefs have Demarcus Robinson, who was given more opportunities to prove himself as the 2017 season rolled along. Robinson had 21 receptions for 212 yards and had a touchdown in the Wild Card game.
