Just watch some of the plays this guy makes when he gets opportunities:

You can’t tell me that the Mahomes and the Chiefs couldn’t really use a guy who is that dynamic. We have no proven capable receivers outside of Hill right now, and we haven’t even saw him play with Pat yet.
If I’m Veach, I’m saying to myself that we’re going to load the defense through the draft. We might sprinkle in a guard somewhere, and maybe sign a defender or two. But the best chance to really help Mahomes and the offense is to add a playmaker like Watkins. He can be dominant in 1v1 situations, and you know damn well that Mahomes is going to give his guys chances to make plays.
And if we’re being honest, an offensive skill grouping of Mahomes-Hunt-Kelce-Hill-Watkins would probably be the most talented unit in football.
