JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pro Bowler)
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (6'4" - 4.37s 40)
Mecole Hardman (Pro Bowler - 4.33s 40)
Skyy Moore (4.41s 40)

They also signed Justyn Ross out of Clemson who was considered 1st round talent before getting injured and missing all of 2020 and most of 2021.
Josh Gordon could still turn things around. (I personally don't have a lot of faith this will happen)
Corey Coleman is a former 1st Rounder out of Baylor with 4.39 speed.

That's a pretty good core to pair with the best QB and best TE in the NFL. Running back core is fairly solid and balanced as well.

Pacheco is 4.34 and can return kicks and line up wide.

Chiefs also signed the ISU LB Rose. Lots of great talent.

Don't forget we still have Cornell Powell, though I doubt he's going to make an impact.

It sort of feels like there's room for one of Powell and Ross.

He and Fountain are gone.

If I'm reading this right, biggest surprises might be going with only 5 WR and 4 LBs to accommodate the 3rd QB and 10 DL.

Blake Bell eventually going to IR will add a spot, likely for an LB or WR (Lee or Fountain) to round out the roster.

Once Bell goes on IR they're bringing back Elijah Lee at LB.

The Chiefs need to move on from Henne and sign a better backup. They also needed 6WR because they are thin at TE. I can live with these moves in a vacuum where nobody gets hurt. But half the receivers have been out this preseason for not insignificant injuries.
