Draft Darlings: Jayden Reed could find a role in the slot

Now that former Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Juju Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman have left in free agency — and having signed no replacements — the team is arguably headed into the 2023 NFL Draft with this as its most significant positional need.

While the team could use a first-round pick to get a wideout, the Chiefs would probably be wise to acquire more than one in this draft. In either the third or fourth round, Michigan State’s Jayden Reed could be a sensible option.

Here’s what you need to know about him:

Background

Reed was a three-star recruit out of Metea Valley High School in Aurora, Illinois.
