Whereas Carr and Tua need superstar WRs that can get open and rack up YAC.

I think this can absolutely be the case. And I think this year, with this division going absolutely insane, is a great year to stress test the theory.
Which is why I have very little interest in trading a 1st for McLaurin or going crazy to move up for a WR. I want to know if we can give Mahomes solid but unspectacular weapons, provide them in depth, and then get a similar level of production to the previous approach.
If so, man we are WAY ahead of the most of the rest of the league. With a QB who's suddenly become priced below market and no need to get into this absolutely insane WR market - we're set to run the show for a bit at that point.
It's an experiment worth trying. And if it doesn't work, next year the cap is cleaner and we can attack FA wideouts a little more.
