ESPN Names Biggest Goal For Chiefs At Trade Deadline

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a bit of a skid with back-to-back losses. The silver lining is that they faced the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. 

Both losses were on the road, and the Chiefs had a chance to defeat the Broncos on the final play in the red zone, but a false start made things that much more difficult. 

With the trade deadline on Nov. 10 quickly approaching, the Chiefs have also been involved in trade rumors. 

Once again, the team's biggest need is a top-tier wide receiver. ESPN's Nate Taylor said the Chiefs' biggest desire at this deadline is to get a receiver. 

That isn't a surprise, either, and Taylor said that should be the team's goal at the deadline in the latest intel piece with the deadline less than a week away. 

Seth Walder also named Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin as an option, and the thought of the long-time Bucs star catching passes from Patrick Mahomes is an interesting idea. 

Jacksonville Jaguars star Brian Thomas was also listed as an option recently, and he would be a younger option than somebody such as Godwin. 

Tight end Travis Kelce leads the team with 29 receptions for 410 yards and 2 touchdowns. Xavier Worthy is second with 27 receptions, but he has just 230 yards and 1 score. 

Rashee Rice is second in receiving yards with 243, and running back Emmett Johnson is third with 237 yards, although 70 of those came on one explosive play earlier in the season. 

Tyquan Thornton looked to be a breath of fresh air for Kansas City before he suffered a gruesome injury, and while Tyreek Hill is still an option, he likely won't play until at least December. 

The Chiefs finally solved the running back issue this offseason by signing Kenneth Walker III to a massive deal, and that has worked out already. 

However, getting Mahomes a quality WR1 is still something that needs to happen. 

Former NFL QB Russell Wilson even suggested Garrett Wilson as an option, although it remains to be seen if the Jets want to move on from Wilson or not at this year's deadline. 

At the end of the day, the Chiefs should be making a strong effort to find a wide receiver, especially if they want to capitalize on the final year of Travis Kelce's career and make another Super Bowl run.
