They have Hill, Jones, Fuller, Kelce, maybe Mahomes, maybe Ragland if they work out. Berry if he's healthy. Other than that, mostly a lot of aging vets and JAGs. A bottom-third defense. A head coach and a DC who are mostly clueless at running the game.
This is not a one-offseason reload project. This is not a two offseason project unless you hit on everything.
This team is in rebuilding move, whether we want to acknowledge it or not, and a player like Peters who asked to be traded and won't resign is the first one that you flip for picks in a rebuild.

Well, I mean, if you're going to just make shit up that's categorically wrong I guess there's not much else I can argue about.
The Chiefs absolutely have one of the best, deepest rosters in football with a hole at OLB, ILB, NT, and G. That's it. They could tick up a bit at safety but they're not doing poorly there. And of the positions they're struggling, only OLB is truly difficult to fill (the ILB slot isn't even really a hole since they spend so much time in sub packages). They're either average to well above at every other spot on the field.
What exactly do you think other teams in this league have on their roster? How many teams out there can point to the kind of young talent we have at skill positions and argue they're on par? And no, there's no such thing as a rebuild that takes more than 3 years in this league. A complete bottoms up rebuild can be done in 2-3 seasons and a damn good team can come of it. Moreover, when you have the kind of cost controlled talent the chiefs have at key positions, you don't even need a rebuild; a simple re-load would've taken little effort at all.
Yeah, you're just talking out your ass. This team was absolutely ready to win a championship and with Mahomes getting needed experience, the time is/was now. If you're so fatalist that you can't see how well situated this squad was, I'm not sure why you bother.
