Can you even imagine?

The rich get richer yet again as the Chiefs add one of the top route-running receivers in the 2021 NFL Draft, Rashod Bateman out of Minnesota.

The Chiefs have Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman under contract, but the futures of Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson are less clear and Kansas City needs their 11 personnel working at full strength.

Bateman is a player whose game would obviously be elevated by playing with Patrick Mahomes, but he is a tremendous prospect in his own right who averaged over 20 yards per reception in a breakout 2019 season.

Playing in Kansas City’s offense, Bateman would offer both big-play abilities as well as the ability to move the chains with great routes and tough, contested catches.
