And those guys all stayed healthy for the most part.
I'll never say we need an 'Alpha WR1' to win a SB. We don't. But there's no sense in making it as hard as last year was.

Let's say we reached with both our 1st and 2nd round picks:
1.32: Xavier Worthy
2.64: Will Shipley
With Kelce/Rice I think you have the rough equivalent of Kelce/JJSS (Rice is better than JJSS, 2024 Kelce will be worse than 2022 Kelce).
Worthy can/should absolutely be a consistent deep threat. Guy has unique speed and produced at a Power 5 school. You're not asking much of him to do what MVS did in 2022. And Shipley is a nasty receiving RB; shifty and elusive -- good hands out of the backfield though Clemson didn't always use them.
That's a 'bad' draft but gives us an offense with component parts substantially similar to the 2022 version.
Would you be on board with that? What if we got Sneed extended pre-draft?
I think the short answer is probably no.
(Which gets me back to my previous point - the 2022 offense was incredible because Patrick Mahomes was incredible. And he wasn't in 2023. But that just pisses people off when I say it so I'll go ahead and pocket that one for now...)
