3 Years ago this wasn't even a conversation. Somewhere along the way the Chiefs and the fans convinced themselves that the GB/Aaron Rodgers model was the way to go. WTF.

But that was always the way it was supposed to be.
Three years ago Mahomes was on his rookie deal and we had just started paying Hill real money and still had the high value Watkins contract.
Fast forward and we've finally traded Hill for picks and cap space, Watkins rolled off, and we replaced them with JuJu, MVS, and two 2nd round picks. Not to mention also signing the most expensive guard on the market, trading a high pick for a LT, and drafting a center in the 2nd round.
We've invested plenty for Mahomes to succeed and the idea that we should focus on premium WR talent - rather than taking fliers on guys with upside - given the going rate just isn't tremendously realistic when building a complete team. Mahomes should be good enough to elevate talent.
We just traded Hill this offseason. What would you have done immediately to have replaced that production? And please keep in mind the other holes it would open up on the team while answering.
