We knew we needed two starters at vital Tackle positions and have had a few years to address. We went two seasons with subpar play and once again have to scramble for immediate replacements because we couldn’t develop a single option in house.

At WR… we have not developed a single WR that has been anything but a situational guy. Maybe that changes with skyy and rashee. But historically we have not done well so the criticism is warranted. I get the optimism but in the past 2 years we’ve had bad play at Tackle and WR and we still have big time question marks at both positions going into the season. It’s not ideal and it’s the type of thing you need to address before the dam bursts not after.

You make it sound very dramatic when you say "red hot emergency" and "scramble for immediate replacement". Every team does that every season. The Chiefs are just currently better at it than most. That's actually kind of the point of signing a free agent.
