If we threw a lot of picks at this years ago we’d be talking about vetted cheap options instead of a wr room I think even the biggest optimist has to acknowledge has risk to it.
If we have cap and pick restraints then building and maintaining a top 3 defense is going to cut into what you can put into the offense. Not that that’s a terrible thing. But I feel we should be tilting it the other direction where maybe a top 10 or even top 5 defense is great if it means just a little more room to maneuver for offensive weapons. I would rather pay just a little less attention to our defense so we aren’t constantly asking mahomes to just settle for what he’s got.
And as I’ve pointed out before what we’re doing is a reaction to something we should have anticipated years ago. And we shouldn’t wait for kelce to escape his prime to come to that same realization. Because we have to prepare for a world where our WRs have to shoulder way more of the responsibility. Is a room full of WR2s still gonna cut it?

Rashee Rice and Skyy Moore are 2nd-round picks. They both qualify as "little shifts". THAT is the investment here. There's not much more they can do when they're trading up in the 2nd, especially when we're constantly picking at the end of round 1. The guys available in the mid-2nd aren't any worse than the guys we could pick at 32, honestly.
As for asking Pat to do more with less, Pat was all on board with drafting guys like Rice. He's not being asked, he's doing the asking. I think we should trust him a little.
