Let’s start first with finding ways for him not to not mugged and doubled/tripled on every play the extent that he does. In either event we have to plan sooner vs later to pick up some or maybe a lot of the giant weight we put on kelces shoilder every week. And I don’t think we have nearly the horses right now to do it.

It's the first season after they just traded Tyreek. At the last minute no less. It's not as if they traded him at the beginning of FA, then went thru it and decided "nah, we're good".
And at some point, yeah, I'm gonna need Mahomes to turn some of those #3's into #2's and a #2 into a #1 type of guy.
Again, you wanna take up that much cap space? Sure, I'm glad to pay it, you are clearly worth it. But you need to give me something back. Which he clearly does, this year as an example.
It comes down to what and where you place importance positionally. They have to get the LT spot and the DE spot handled at some point and that's gonna cost some draft picks and money, if not both.
I've seen them put the best offense in football on the field with this group of WR's. If they have to cobble something together again, well, I'd trust Andy and Pat to make it work this well again vs the alternative.
