Chiefs: 3 free agents who could alter 2021 NFL Draft plans

Marvin Jones Jr, Wide Reciever

If there is one thing the Chiefs don have its a tall redzone threat at wide receiver. They have created a track team which is great for 3/4 of the field, but its not helpful in the redzone. Marvin Jones is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds and has a nose for the endzone with four seasons of over eight touchdowns. Out of the legit starting receivers on their roster Marvin Jones would instantly be the tallest.

Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman are both 5-foot-10. Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson are both 6-foot-1. But, Watkins is past his prime and Robinson is as sketchy a route runner as they come, he never developed at the next level. Marvin Jones could come in and be Mahomes favorite target on short yardage or in the redzone.

Based on talent alone he could step in and be the second wide receiver on the depth chart, having Sammy Watkins could save him some hits and would be vicious versus lower level talent. Marvin Jones also would not command a ton of money, as he his one of the lower level wide outs on the market and the Lions tanked his value.

I like this fit a lot as long as they can carve out space for him. Signing him could avoid them having to use their first round pick on a wide receiver even though Rashod Bateman would be a better talent, they could use it on a much needed pass rusher or offensive linemen.
