Difference between Watkins and Kirk?

[davidxhorn]

I know Watkins' value is still higher than normal, but he is still Sammy Watkins. How does he compare to Christian Kirk?

[Jigga94]

Just curious... How valuable is the phrase "he is still Sammy Watkins" ?

I'll take Kirk

Unless Hill is removed from the equation and KC brings in no competition for Sammy, I want Kirk. Never mind, even then I'd rather have Kirk.

I thought Kirk looked pretty good last year considering the atrocious QB play, which could be upgraded. Never been a Sammy fan.

I would much rather have Kirk at this point. At some point it's okay to move past Watkins as a dynasty piece. He is what he is

Kirk looked like a JAG in college, he looked like JAG also far in the pros.

I’ll take the upside of Sammy, especially since I believe Hill is about to be gone for a very long time.

I am a fan of both players but I concur with lukky in that I'd rather have Watkins if I had to choose between the 2.

Oof, hard disagree with that. That KC offense would obviously regress without Tyreek, but how could you not want Mahomes's #1 WR? If Tyreek is gone all they got left is Kelce, Sammy, Demarcus Robinson, Kelvin Benjamin, Damien Williams, Carlos Hyde? Who's gonna catch all those passes besides Kelce?

What's a reasonable estimate for Mahomes this year? Last year he hit 5000-50, so without Tyreek can he still hit, idk, a conservative 4200-32? Hard to imagine Sammy doesn't get a big share of that, even if they draft a WR in the first 3 rounds.

IF Tyreek is gone (and I know that's still a fairly big if for now), then the only way I can truly see Sammy getting downgraded later is if the Chiefs make a splash trade for someone like AJ Green. Though honestly, I might be surprised if that DOESN'T happen (anyone, not AJG specifically). Feels like they gotta do something to upgrade WR at least a little bit.
