Chiefs taking leap of faith at receiver after releasing Jeremy Maclin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- General manager John Dorsey made what at the time seemed to be a strange remark shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs picked a wide receiver, Michigan’s Jehu Chesson, in the fourth round of the recent NFL draft.

Dorsey said the Chiefs needed more competition at receiver, which sounded odd for a team with Jeremy Maclin, Tyreek Hill and a group of promising young players that includes Chris Conley and Demarcus Robinson.
