I don't think that's the question.
The question is, let's assume you're building a 3 WR crew and you have 2 options that cost roughly the same:
A 1 and two 3s or;
Three #2s
Which would you prefer? For me I'm taking the latter every time. And I wonder if that's not what the Chiefs are looking for as well.
Because ultimately you can scheme a single WR out of the game, no matter how good he is. But VERY few teams have the personnel to handle 3 guys who can give you #2 type play because you can't overload them.
When you're looking at the former scenario, you go man 2 man vs the #3 caliber guys and more often than not, your guys win their matchup. Then you double the #1 and you're in pretty good shape.
But if you have three #2 options out there, more often than not THEY'LL win their matchup in a 1v1 scenario and you can't do anything to double all of them.
If you have the right quarterback, someone who can process quickly and attack anywhere on the field (we do), the latter scenario is a far more dangerous setup.
And I think that may just be what Veach and company are pursuing.
