5 NFL Teams That Need Wide Receiver Help Entering the Draft

Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs actually signed some real talent to their wide receiver group last offseason, bringing in Jeremy Maclin, and he did not disappoint. Maclin's Kansas City debut season saw him pull in 87 of 124 targets for a 87.29 Reception NEP, and his presence gave a true spark to an offense that had been lacking creativity. Behind him, though, there still was little to inspire.

No offense is going to be incredible with a limited quarterback like Alex Smith at the helm, but his supporting cast is laughably bad in the wide receiver group. Albert Wilson was the only other wideout with at least 50 targets in 2015, and he converted his 57 looks into a below-average 0.55 Reception NEP per target. Chris Conley did similarly with his 0.56 mark in this metric, and Jason Avant is somehow still kicking around on this team. There is no true second wide receiver in Kansas City. The Chiefs still need to address this position in the draft, even if they solely add depth.
