871. WR. 1. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Stanford. Simi Fehoko

Staying in the Pac-12, countless fans out there likely became aware of the talents of wideout Simi Fehoko. The 6-4, 227-pounder has great size for an outside receiver, as he does a sensational job of leaping up high into the sky and catching the ball at its highest point. When Kansas City is on the verge of scoring, Mahomes throwing up a jump ball for Fehoko to go get would be fun.

In 2020, Fehoko had another strong year for the Cardinal, recording 37 receptions for 574 yards and three touchdowns in six appearances. For his career, he caught 62 balls for 1,146 yards, winning over fans and alumni left and right.

Despite having more eligibility for Stanford, Fehoko decided to leave school early and chase his NFL dreams. He’s not expected to be taken in the early rounds, but he most definitely could be an intriguing option for the Chiefs in the fourth round. With his size, Fehoko really could do wonders for the Chiefs offensively.

All in all, the NFL Draft will provide plenty of great players for Kansas City to go after. In terms of replacing Watkins, there’s no shortage of guys the team can pick and get plenty of production from starting next season.
