With Beckham joining Ravens, Chiefs change focus to draft in WR search

Interesting quote here:

“It seems like they figured out as long as you protect Mahomes, nothing else matters,” an anonymous team executive told The Athletic last month of the Chiefs’ offseason moves. “It is probably true.”

Because the league doesn't think NEARLY as much of OBJ as he thinks of himself.

If you look at what they did objectively, they're trying to get better at pass blocking. Maybe Taylor can't make the switch but if he can, he has the tools to be a WAY better pass blocker than OBJ. NFL execs, by and large, are stubborn but they're not stupid. This team got better at LT with those 2 moves and everybody knows it. The Bengals are just hoping that OBJ is enough of an upgrade over the shit they've had there recently to overcome the Chiefs' upgrade.
