The Kansas City Chiefs were the latest NFL franchise to shock the football world by trading away All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a number of draft picks. Although the draft compensation the Chiefs received was unprecedented for a wide receiver, Kansas City still needed to fill Hill's role with a veteran. They went out and signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Valdes-Scantling was given a three-year $30 million contract that is worth upwards of $36 million.

That is a lot of money for any receiver, but is especially a ton for a one trick pony. Let's break down exactly why that is.

Why the Chiefs Massively Overpaid for Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Valdes-Scantling has been in the NFL for four seasons, all with Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay. Despite playing with one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of football, including back-to-back NFL MVP's, Valdes-Scantling is yet to establish himself even as a number two wide receiver.

Last year, the new Chiefs wideout missed a little over a month with a grade 2 hamstring strain. That certainly did not help his production, but even when he was healthy, he was inconsistent at best. He finished the season with 26 catches for 430 yards and three touchdowns.

Those numbers do not sound like much. Well, that's about as good as it ever got for him in Green Bay. His prior three seasons all finished with between 26 and 38 catches, despite playing all 16 games. He has always been among the better deep threats since entering the league. That is seen in his average yards per catch, which has been between 15 and 21 yards per catch each season.

But if you look at his catch rate, that means those are the only targets he is getting. Valdes-Scantling for his career has caught 123 of 247 targets, for a 49.9 percent catch rate. That is not good, to put it mildly. It's not as if Aaron Rodgers has always had a solid Y receiver to utilize, pushing him to only a deep-threat type role. It simply means he likely is not the best route-runner, does not have great hands and cannot separate at the line of scrimmage. He can run fast, and take the top off of a defense.

I'm sure he will do that in Kansas City. Tyreek Hill did that for the Chiefs occasionally also. But Hill did so much for this offense that Valdes-Scantling simply is not capable of. This contract is one you would typically give to a borderline number one receiver, if not an elite number two. Valdes-Scantling is a number three at best, and even in that role has shown to be limited.

The Chiefs must use some of the draft capital to find a receiver that can make a difference on this offense.
