I think if you keep the roster treading water offensively, but beef up that defensive line to the same degree you beefed up the OL in 2021, the Chiefs aer Super Bowl champions.

Williams is an investment to take any conceivable lid off the offense in 2023. And he'll make plays the second half of 2022.

And it's more than likely going to cost you a piece of this defense next season.

You can upgrade the WR position without wasting picks.

There's no reason to use a 1st round pick like this. It's ludicrous.

I'm in a weird limbo on this issue because I'm on record preferring a defensive player.

I think there's two ways the Chiefs make and win the Super Bowl in 2022: the safest, surest way is by beefing up the defense, specifically the defensive line. The other way is by making the offense bulletproof: you get yourself a top tier WR and a stud RB and never punt again.

Like the pick or not, Williams would be 1/2 of the latter's equation.

Here's my issue with the second part.

If you make this offense bulletproof at the cost of building a defense, then when the offense fails (and it's shown that it can)....this team is ****ed.

If you build up a defense that's above average....then when the offense fails....you have a better chance of winning.

Now that doesn't mean that you sacrifice the offense completely but you also don't need to spend a bunch of high picks to stack this offense when there are only so many targets to go around.

Except it wouldn't. At BEST, he's going to miss the entire offseason program, knowing that rookie WR's struggle to integrate into Andy's offense anyway. At worst, he's not physically ready to play until 2023.

Drafting Williams does NOTHING for 2022.
