We’ve seen the Chiefs draft a WR in the top 2 rounds in last 3 drafts. 2 are home runs and 1 is a dud. Chiefs have also made several smaller moves at WR too.
It’s hard to blame the team for Mahomes ending Rice’s season. That alone would’ve been a major addition.
So really, I think there’s 1 key spot that the Chiefs haven’t done enough: LT. Which, to be fair, hasn’t stopped the Chiefs from going to the last 3 Super Bowls and winning 2 of them. That’s the greatest 3 year run in NFL history.

And they invested big on the IOL because their attempt to sign Trent Williams didn't land, and their attempt to keep Orlando Brown, Jr. as their franchise LT was unsuccessful.
Their attempt to land a FA who fixes LT for a long period of time might not land, either. It won't mean they've failed or are complacent or using Mahomes as a crutch.
