He’s not looking at just next year.
It takes most receivers a while to learn this offense and work into it. Two of the Chiefs top 4 receivers are FA after this year and unlikely to return. Their #5 is a JAG.
The 2021 WR draft isn’t going to be nearly as deep or as good.
So in this draft, the Chiefs could plan for letting Watkins and Robinson walk next year and having a third option ready to slide into place, while also taking advantage of the depth at that position and getting a better player than will likely be available to them next year.
The WRs available with the Chiefs’ second pick might not even make it to their first draft position next year (which is going to be 32 again).
