Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs have been clamoring for a receiver to be drafted since John Dorsey became general manager in early 2013. Two and a half drafts later, and those people are finally happy. With the 76th-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Chiefs took University of Georgia receiver Chris Conley.
Conley is a burner, running a 4.35 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in February. He will be competing with Albert Wilson for the spot opposite Jeremy Maclin as a starter in Kansas City’s offense. It should be fun watching Conley operate in Andy Reid’s offense with such speed, but first let’s see what Twitter has to say about the selection.
In terms of pure athleticism, is there a better receiver in this class than Chris Conley?http://t.co/vXy3am8x7i pic.twitter.com/mGvZWh9kv1

If this is Andy Reid's guy, I'm on board. The dude has elite potential.

As much as I didn't like the Morse pick, the Chiefs have added another very good player in Chris Conley. HIGH upside
