What does a "WR1 type" even mean? I think whatever it means, its an outdated thought process. You just want 3 guys who can get open, because if you only have 1-2, a defense can scheme around them with double teams etc.

Kelce, JJSS, MVS, Hardman is enough receiving talent that the offense can be productive, you don't need a significant amount of production from a rookie WR to be a good team in 2022. There are also tons of receivers who don't go in the first round who turn out to be productive (Deebo, Claypool, AJ Brown, Chark all went in the 2nd, McLaurin, Gallup went in the 3rd, Renfrow went in the 5th). If a top receiver doesn't fall in the Chiefs lap in the 1st, that must push down another position group of need (DL, secondary) and there will be an opportunity to add talent in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

Offense is always more exciting, but I would not be the slightest bit worried or dissappointed if the first 4-5 picks made all go on improving the defense.
