Ok well that leaves drafting and developing people. That's not gonna happen overnight and you're gonna go in with guys who may not be "quality" players before they have a chance to actually play.

It does not mean we need to use all of our blue chip picks on defense.
Either hit on your picks. Or if you can’t, get more aggressive in the draft.
If mahomes can elevate below average players to good, he can elevate great players to elite. That needs to be way more of the mentality.
You’re right it doesn’t happen overnight. We had years to groom a single WR2 behind tyreek (who could also become WR1) and didn’t. In fact, NONE of these guys are hitting elsewhere. We could easily have built OL depth but we drafted so poorly that we walked into the 2021 season with 4 brand new starters from outside the organization. And now we walk into the offseason where we need to sprint to replace TWO tackles. Where we have more questions than answers at WR.
Look I love what we’ve done but we just have not been good at all at finding the most important offense skill positions outside of mahomes. We’ve got to do better.
