GunnerBill Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 1 minute ago, Beck Water said: So those picks are at the very end of the 3rd round, behind the comp picks. Still a good haul for a guy who has missed 12 out of a possible 24 games he could play, including 5 so far this season. Yea I still think that is a pretty high guaranteed cost for a guy who could literally be a complete dud. Now he could emerge as a weapon in a gadget role with a great QB and a brilliant play caller. But I'd say both outcomes are about equal likelihood at this point. Think it is a very brave move but also a very risky one. I do remember Matt Miller telling me that draft season that KC loved Toney though. They ended up trading out of round 1 for Orlando Brown but when they had their pick he thought if Toney made it there they would pick him. So they are maybe just doubling down on what they thought then for a lesser cost? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Chiefs get a speedy WR? Dang, the Bills should add a DB in order to keep up in the arms race. Oh wait. We have an All-Pro CB being added to our 5-1, #1D next week. And he's already on a long term team friendly deal. And he knows the defense. And we dont have to spend a bunch of picks to get him.

starrymessenger Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: We traded for Diggs who had way more “issues” in Minnesota than Jeudy has in Denver. You're probably right. But although Diggs was unhappy in Minny I don't recall him being a bad actor at all (like maybe Toney is) and he had produced better than Jeudy has. There are pros and cons in any trade evaluation, but Beane has a very low tolerance it seems to me for anything that can adversely affect team chemistry. Not at all the philosophy we see from KC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) 28 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He reminds me of Percy Harvin too... but I think Percy Harvin is one of the most overrated players to have played in the NFL in the last two decades. Toney is fast. He can make you miss in a phone box. However, he is yet to demonstrate he can play wide receiver in the NFL effectively. The story on him coming out was that Florida got him the ball in ways that accentuated his talent and just got him in 1v1s because even in college learning plays and understanding the offense wasn't really his bag. Those who were particularly low on him (and listen I quite liked him as a day 2 guy... just didn't think he belonged in round 1) made the point then that it is hard to do in the NFL where everyone has talent. If there is any team that can make it work with a speedy gadget guy who doesn't know the plays and doesn't really run routes it might be Kansas City with Mahomes and Reid. I can see the attraction for them. But I would suspect that there are heavy conditions on that 3rd round pick. Because at this point there is a fair chance that this league is just beyond him either because he isn't able to get the mental part down or isn't willing to put in the work to do so. Potentially high reward but for a 3rd round pick pretty high risk unless the conditions are designed to mitigate that risk. Fair enough. In his best season, being used as a dual receiving/rushing threat, Harvin posted 1,300 yards from scrimmage and 8 TDs. I agree that Toney, like Harvin before him, is not a classic NFL receiver and likely lacks the ability to be one. Like you say, though, this is Kansas City we're talking about. They collect players like this. He seems potentially more dangerouss in their scheme than, say, Mecole Hardman, who is more of a straight line speed guy. Being depended on to be the number 1 receiver, which is what the Giants wanted and needed him to be, was never going to work. Asking him to be a classic starting X or Z was never going to work. Having him around for manufactured touches, screens, jet sweep, and catch-and-run plays with as much room for YAC as Andy Reid is typically able to scheme up, though? That seems like a recipe for success for Toney. Edited October 27, 2022 by Logic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Doesn't make a ton of sense, KC seems to already have plenty of WR's and not enough footballs to go around. I'd still like the Bills to do something. Not sure what? It's an arms race though amongst the top tier teams. Maybe they are waiting to see if anyone gets dinged up this weekend before doing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs get him in year 2 of his rookie deal which is significant for them. Tyreek lite basically if things go well. Yup. KC was looking for more help stretching the field and pressuring defenses deep. No surprise that they made a move after losing tho the Bills at home.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This move is more of a future move for KC. Hardman and JuJu free agents. It’s a good addition for 2023. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
