That being said, do we think KC will take the slow and steady approach and be content with having a chance nearly every year, or do we see KC going “all in” from time to time and capitalizing with a Von Miller-esque addition or two to put them over the top?

I think the Chiefs largely are trying the soft rebuild approach and will continue that. We don't have a LT for the future, don't have much at WR past this year, don't have much at DE, Aging at the TE position quickly. We have to hit on draft picks and that is hard to do when drafting at the bottom every year. That being said, hard to go all in on a few pieces when you have so many holes to fill. Again you hit on draft picks at a few places then maybe you free up the resources to do so. Stagger your contracts on good players that are worth it. That is likely the way it goes forward, we will remain competitive and hope we can gradually fill holes and then make some acquisitions when the time is right. With the most important position filled, QB, and one as good as mahomes you can do that.
