Giving massive playing time to guys like Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Toney, and MVS in a Mahomes prime year and one of the last years of Travis Kelce is gross negligence and roster mismanagement.

They did figure it out after trading away Tyreek, hence the #1 offense last year as well as a SB win.
For the above receivers, looking in hindsight it's clear that things did not go according to plan, but.........
1. Moore was going into year two and there was no reason to not expect him to improve.
2. Watson is what he is. Good for a couple catches a game. He was never going to be more than WR #4.
3. Toney has all the traits to be a #1 WR. His issue was always injuries. No one could have seen the issues he is having before the season started.
4. MVS was never going to be a true #1, but even based on his previous season he has regressed a ton. There was no way to see that coming.
Now on the other hand Rice is far outperforming even the most generous of estimates, so that was an unexpected positive. But to think Veach saw all of this and did nothing about it is ridiculous and very heat of the moment. He banked on a similar level of production. He guessed wrong. No GM is perfect. If KC goes into next season with this roster of WRs then he is negligent.
