No. That's stupid.
Whenever Mahomes and the offense don't have their heads up their asses, they move the ball and score at will. There is no problem other than the times when they just sort of lose focus and screw up.
Now, defensively? Huge hole at DE. Not in position to typically draft one. That's an expensive position to fill in free agency.
Offensive tackle? Well, it would be nice to keep Mahomes upright, and it would be nice to be able to run the ball more effectively. Not typically in position to draft a LT, but probably to draft a RT.
Got a Juju situation to figure out. Got a LT situation. and a RT situation. And a DE situation. Who we paying, who's walking?
And you guys want to pay top of the market for a WR?
No, man.
Draft and develop.
Hill had 11.2 ypc last year. Have you forgotten?
What's Juju's average this year? 11.9
He's literally MORE PRODUCTIVE per catch than Hill was last year.
How about we fill the gaping holes and quit worrying about Deandre Hopkins?

Well, I did say use DHop as an example, not as the sole solution.
However, if we acquired DHop (or someone very similar), then we don't need MVS, Hardman, and probably even JJSS. That's probably well more than $30M off the books ($40M?), and DHop would cost maybe $20M?
And I'm not considering yds/cth. I'm considering 1v1 matchups in the playoffs against the best DBs the league has to offer. That's the issue a WR like DHop can solve, that none of those other WRs can.
Pivot: DHop doesn't have an injury history. he's missed 14 games in his entire career, 6 of those this year due to a suspension, one because HOU decided to rest him before the playoffs. He's missed just 8 games due to injury in his ten year career.
