Makes sense with them letting Diggs walk and Tank Dell's future uncertain.

In Mahomes' best statistical season, his starters were JuJu and MVS. We had Hardman, Watson, Toney, and Moore primarily as the next guys. Not exactly McLaren quality.

During the Hill years/2019-2021 run, we had an always-injured Sammy Watkins, DeMarcus Robinson, Hardman, Pringle, and De'Anthony Thomas/Dieter in some kind of weird combination. Where are all the high-end weapons outside of Hill?

The real deal here is Mahomes had better protection from his OTs. It wasn't the weapons. Hill was the only truly explosive weapon we had. We got exceptional play from Travis and really good play from our RBs in the receiving game throughout the years, whether it was McKinnon or Williams or whoever.

Rice and Worthy are the best 1-2 punch at WR that Mahomes has ever had. Adding a slot that's better than Hardman gives him, far and away, the best set of weapons he's ever had.

I think you guys are way overthinking the need for weaponry. Drink some antifreeze, go **** a hooker and get aids, and calm the **** down.

Yeah, that's why if one of Egbuka or Burden gets to them at the end of the 1st, I like the idea of investing there. Keep stocking young, rookie deal weapons. Buy your LT (either a bit-ticket single guy or throwing numbers at it). Load up on D in the draft.

Protect Mahomes better from the blindside and add a more capable slot guy, and all of a sudden, that offense is flying high.

Having a pair of YAC monsters like Rice and Burden paired with Worthy is pretty fun stuff. And if you're less reliant on the TE as a premium receiving weapon, what that guy does is less predictable. You know Kelce is going to run choice routes for the most part, because that's the Chiefs' best chance to move the ball (or has been). Using the TE occasionally as a blocker, or having them run defined routes that aren't just playground feel stuff, is going to add some unpredictability back. Which is positive...

If they get their O-line figured out, they're legit. Young QB, great defense, skilled players on offense.

QB took a major step back last year and their HC is a fraud.

He was completely unprepared late against the Chiefs and then blamed refs.

They won’t win anything of importance until they get a better coach.

And this helps your arguement.....how?

They built up the defense, went to 3 straight SB's.

Now we wanna blow it out to get back to talent stacked offense because.....why?

maybe because we proved we can't win a SB if we go 9 straight drives in the SB punting 7 times and without scoring a point? Just spit-balling here.

I know we need more than 2 wide receivers next year but getting an expensive superstar makes the least amount of sense. I would rather sign up DJ Reed or something

We are not getting DK Metcalf. This is ridiculous! Nothing to see here move along.

Let's look at the numbers...

I’m surprised so many don’t think a DK could happen. This seems exactly like a Veach move. Has zero to do with Rice and Worthy but replacing Kelce. More so his production.

I believe DK is a Kelce replacement

Don't you think Rice + Worthy + Slot WR + Mid-Round Rookie + RB who can contribute to the pass game couldn't take the load off of Kelce?

Let me give you a proposition: Re-sign Hollywood for a year, take WR Isaiah Bond from Texas at 3-66, and RB Bhayshul Tuten from Virginia Tech at 3-95. There are 3 sub-4.4 guys you just added onto the offense. You spent less money and less draft capital than you just sent away for DK Metcalf. In fat, you've saved enough money to probably add a pass rusher like Josh Sweat in FA.

Tell me which is the more complete roster in terms of overall balance and hedged against injury?

Option A: WR Metcalf, WR Rice, WR Worthy, WR Scrub, WR Scrub, WR Remigio, RB Pacheco, RB Scrub, RB Scrub, TE Kelce, TE Gray, TE Wiley

Option B: WR Rice, WR Worthy, WR Brown, WR Bond, WR Scrub, WR Remigio, RB Pacheco, RB Tuten, RB Scrub, TE Kelce, TE Gray, TE Wiley
