Yup. Robinson will be risky based on cost vs ROI. If folks are not happy with Taylor based on what he’s being paid, I am not so sure that they will be pleased with Robinson.

Glad we won 2 of the last 3 SB's with a defensive roster. But I don't think Veach wanted to make the offense this weak.

It just naturally happened.

I think it's time to recalibrate and build up the offense because scoring points relieves a lot of pressure on the defense. It's hard to play defense when your offense goes 15-16 drives without a TD (last year) or can't get a drive going in a first half (this year).

Gaining more than 24 yards of total offense in the first half… not an unreasonable expectation.

Not going 16 straight offensive possessions without scoring a TD… not an unreasonable expectation.

The Chiefs offense has been mediocre during the past two seasons despite having Mahomes in the prime of his career.

They were able to overcome their offensive struggles with an elite defense last year.

We didn't have "great" defenses those years, but it didn't matter because we were almost scoring at will and no one could keep up

Easier said than done. You don't want to give away too much capital to move up into the Top 10 of the Draft. And even if you do that, there is a serious risk the guy will be a mega bust. Eric Fisher was a #1 overall Draft pick and never really lived up to the hype, even though he was a solid player and Mahomes trusted him.

I don't think they will have great options through free agency or trading to get a veteran player either. You'll end up overpaying for a dude that isn't great (another Jawaan Taylor) or has injury baggage that might blow up in your face (DJ Humphries, Ronnie Stanley/Cam Robinson??).

Maybe they just need to get lucky with Kingsley or Wanya or some other draft pick magically turning into a solid guy at this position. The team has had its share of bad luck at this position ever since Eric Fisher's injury. Maybe one of these days their luck will turn around.

Nobody has to put words in your mouth. You've been doing this shit for 3 years, you just conveniently moved the goalposts from WR to include OT to paint your narrative now.

All true, but realistically the reason its overlooked is because we win the games that matter, against other teams that are typically high scoring offenses, so we don't necessarily discuss them as a fan base.

Weve also been taking WR's with our 1st round picks so its not like the FO doesn't think we don't need to empower the offense.

The main problem the past two years is neglecting key positions on offense with the assumption that Mahomes + Andy’s schemes can make it work.

The WR position in 2023 when they went into the season with Toney and Skyy Less at the top of their depth chart.

The LT position this past year, when they went into the season with two unproven players who both ended up being completely unplayable in the postseason.

Drafting a LT prospect in the 2nd round is not neglect. Maybe incompetence but definitely not neglect.

I don't think Robinson fixes anything. If Joe Thuneys slow losses aren't cutting it Robinsons not a huge upgrade. He's a little better against outside speed but you sure wont see the bang for the buck.
