That doesn't mean I think the WR room is set as of March 16. That doesn't mean I don't think we'll draft a guy. Doesn't mean I don't think we'll sign a guy.
I think we will sign at least one FA-although I doubt you're going to be satisfied if you're expecting a bonafide-no-doubt-number-one-WR type. And I expect somewhere in the first three rounds of the draft we'll take a WR as well.
And I'm sure we'll bring back JWat on a cheap deal as insurance, as he has a year in the offense.
There will be, at minimum, two new faces in that first 5 WR on the depth chart, I just about guarantee.
I seriously doubt it will be Hopkins or OBJ. There's absolutely nothing that Veach has said or done in the last 5 years to indicate that he'd pay that kind of money to often injured, over 30 players. There's a TON of evidence to the contrary.
And that's it. That's my whole opinion. And you guys can act like I'm shitting in your cheerios and ruining your fun, but it's not up to me. It's up to Veach, and my prediction is what my prediction is.
It's just not how he's been going about team building since the realities of Mahomes huge cap hit took hold.

This is all good, this is the Chris Meck we all know and love.
Its the "You guys will never learn", "Veach is NEVER...", "You are all panicking in March" stuff that seems like a different poster.
You know I dig your posts, you are certainly right more than wrong.
BUT we just want to upgrade the position, however we can. I like most believe we will sign a FA and draft a WR. Most of us really want a stud if possible (Im sure you do too).
Signing an older WR or trading for one is not something Veach has done but the team and Veach is evolving. Circumstances can dictate a different direction than the preferred option.
The Chiefs are in on OBJ and probably Hopkins as well. It would be weird if they werent. Will it happen? We dont know yet, we all believe in Veach so whatever he ends up doing will be good.
Right now, those guys are options and its perfectly reasonable to discuss them.
