You can’t tell me those moves don’t make a huge upgrade to our WR room. But we can’t have pure slot WRs or WR2s lining up against CB1s. Get a WR1 and you have way more luxury to fill in the rest with warm bodies. I love juju but he isn’t WR1. Sadly. Despite what the market looks like the WR market is going to get way more crowded than you think. Several QBs getting huge contracts, several getting the wrecking ball this year.

That is simply insane to have the best qb in the world and demanding he carry a bunch of warm body WRs. And yeah, Reid has not been particularly great at drafting high on WR1s. For every desean and tyreek you have a million FredExes and mecoles.

I’m talking 1 WR. You’re talking about two trenches with 9 players.

Eventually Kelce will decline. It WILL happen. We take Kelce for granted. Once that occurs which may start to happen next year...you WILL need a #1 WR. Pay the money or trade up and get one.

Ok, take Clark and OBJ away.

Now you have to get a LT and a weakside DE. Those guys are usually cheap to find.

Yeah, I can see that happening.

They should. A LT is less valuable to Mahomes than almost any other QB in the league. Especially a non-athletic one like OBJ. Mahomes is a guy who likes to drift out of the pocket and can avoid the rush very well. It's honestly pretty hard on a LT.

I get the idea is to "protect" him. If you really wanted to protect Mahomes you would throw half as much and run a heavy run based system. Im certainly not advocating that but that is how you would do it.

Using the resources we are better off paying an Edge rusher or Chris Jones, then a WR#1 and then LT. You should be able to get a reasonable pass protecting first LT in first couple rounds that the rest of the league doesn't value as much as a passing team like the Chiefs.

Your take sucks. You don't risk injury to the only guy on your roster that you can't afford to lose to allocate resources elsewhere. What you do with those resources is irrelevant if 15 is not in the game.

your rebuttal is that the chiefs should take the ball out of your best playmakers hands for half of the snaps in a game?
