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.

They had 2 good tackles who they lost in an offseason and drafted a 3rd rounder and traded a first for another LT. Got a couple cheap years out of those guys, plus RT play out of Wylie.
The 2020 draft with CEH is what hurts the skill positions a bit with that whiff.
They've also figured out that putting protection around Mahomes is probably more important than high end WRs it seems and figure Mahomes can develop the talent they've picked up in the early rounds at WR.
