And I don’t disagree with them there. I don’t want to pay an obscene price for these guys. I actually like the tyreek trade in many ways. But let’s be real guys. Can anyone honestly say we have a true WR1, kelce aside?

Do we ****ing need one when we have Mahomes and can't keep him upright?

Well, like I said, of course we need to get him upright. But does that mean we spend top dollar? My point isn’t to say we ignore the OL. It’s to ask do you want a stellar OL with studs all around with an average WRs. Or do we build a solid line and surround with playmakers. I’d rather the latter

Playmaking WR's are currently getting paid large sums of money. You can't invest in OL, DL, AND get a true WR1. It's not going to happen. You're going to have to prioritize and if you're going to put WR need ahead of the other two, then this discussion is going nowhere...

Well then I’m prioritizing receiver.

This team needs to run behind mahomes. Not create a balance and an offense built around efficiency. Even if you build and build a tremendous defense like the bills and put all your eggs in that basket, giant killers like burrow and mahomes can beat you.

Our OL doesn’t need to be all world. Hell, we’re playing like shit at tackles and we’re still doing ok. We had a shit interior OL and made back to back super bowls. We had shit tackles and made the afc conference championship. We don’t have to pump huge money into our OTs. We have to do a better job of not making shit our #1 option. You don’t think an upgrade to average tackle play isn’t a huge upgrade in and of itself?

I just do t understand the rationale behind having an all world qb and focusing on balance instead of making us explosive in the passing game. I do agree that it’s easier said than done. But we don’t need to have Jamaar chase like talent. We just need a guy who can actually play WR1. Does anyone think we have a WR1 (i fully recognize kelce is a receiver option)? How can you have an elite qb and not give him a wr1.
