Sometimes it's not going to line up, sometimes we have to go a different direction.
Same thing with FA. There's a salary cap, it's not Madden. We put out the biggest fires first and then worry about the rest. Our team prior to Veach was not deep. We had a few great players and a ton of JAG's. We are turning over the roster as our draft picks and salary cap allow us. These 1 and 2 year deals are buying us time for our draft picks to actually develop, or not.
I keep reading about our lack of receivers in this thread. Like, really? Isn't Reid's offense notoriously difficult to learn and master, due to each receiver needing to know ALL of the responsibilities? Imagine having to learn all of that, plus having to learn to play at an NFL level, and study film. It's a hell of a learning curve. Be patient, we've gotten to 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls and won two of them. I think what we are doing is ok and we need to have a little faith in the process. It seems to be working.

If there are a limited amount of resources especially with mahomes new contract, then you must agree that our effort to build the best possible defense our draft can find makes it really difficult to put anything into the offense. If our WRs and OL need time to develop then maybe we shouldn’t wait until the rooms are completely broken and react to crises, and instead proactively take a lot of swings so we don’t have to rush guys out there before they’re ready. instead we are forced to fill these holes. We are considering a bandaid to mahomes blind side when we should have had a RT ready by now. Hell, we shouldn’t have waited a few years to let Wylie keep playing. We had 5 years to find a replacement to tyreek or hell, even Sammy Watkins. Hell to find a single WR3 or WR4. So for a position that takes a long time to develop we threw 5 new guys all at once.
And to add to that, we don’t know how much longer kelce will dominate or even be a model of health. We have to plan for that too.
